Lady Gitte

My favourite kind of decadent bitch is the understated decadent bitch. The kind who is too damn decadent to care for the attention. It makes for a nice surprise when they pop up around the place, like so:

 Lady Gitte lives her high life in the low light. Danish born, Brigette Lee Kröncke had a modelling career over 50years ago and has only recently made a creeping return into a spotlight after years of keeping a private life playing loving wife to famed and knighted actor Sir Christopher Lee. In the last few months she has been featured in Celine's Autumn Winter 10/11 advertising campaigns as well as an editorial for Vogue Italia in October 2010.

 Her style is very much an effortlessly elegant uniform - sweater, trousers, coat - in fabrics which vary from season-to-season to suit the climate. She keeps things simple and classic, varying outfit combinations with hats and accessories to match each ensemble.




There is a lot to be said for understated elegance, and I think we'll be seeing more of Lady Gitte in fashion.
