Today's POP is team Paris, recuperating from the heavy weekend.

After running around Paris from show to show we did a pit stop at Zadig & Voltaire's shop at 2 Place des Victoires and caught up with the founder, Thierry Gillier, only to discover that this season he collaborated with jewellery designer, Gaia Repossi. EXCITING news we say!
POP: Why Zadig & Voltaire?
Gaia: Because the brand is young, fresh and cool and with a slight touch of French chic.
POP: Where do you draw your inspirations from?
Gaia: Through my extensive travels and through research, I often find ethnic minorities, tribes and ancient civilization very inspiring. Furthermore jewellery from the art nouveau and art deco period also influence my designs.
POP: Compared to your previous collaborations, this collection is more affordable. Is that important to you?
Gaia: Yes, it reaches out to a diverse range of customers and people which I'm interested and curious about.
POP: Are you planning more collaborations in the future?
Gaia: Why not if it makes sense? It's always a great source of inspiration for me to explore and travel into the universe of completely different brands.

Rumour has it that more collaborations are to come. Erin Wasson, the queen of cool and the new face of Zadig & Voltaire is said to be designing a collection for next season. Did we just get more excited? OH YES WE DID!

In the meantime check out our favourite items from the A/W 11-12 collection consisting of: silver super short shorts and military parkas. We wonder if Erin was the inspiration for these pieces?
