Hell Oui! New York Meets Paris In Garance Doré For Kate Spade By Connie Wang
To nab Garance Doré’s charm, you have to have a couple of things: a killer eye for photography, lady-meets-tomboy style, a wide-eyed curiosity for life, and handwriting so perfect it’d make your third-grade penmanship teacher cry.
