Paris Fashion Week: What Famed Stylist Catherine Baba is Excited About Right Now

What’s wonderful about Australian stylist and long-time Paris resident Catherine Baba is that she is almost from another era — the roaring ‘20s perhaps — with her love of nightlife and outré fashion. She speaks with the wit of a regular Zelda Fitzgerald, albeit with an Aussie twang, and is a favorite among the top designers, editors, and bon vivants in the city. It is not uncommon to see her cycling through the streets in towering heels and a turban to head to the swankiest soirees in Paris.

“I’m always in a kimono-turban mood, and if it’s a bit chilly we can always throw on a fur – vintage, of course,” purrs Baba, who likes to litter her speech with her favorite catchphrase: “J’adore.”

She might not dress like a mortal, but Baba offers some humanizing tips for maintaining her stamina throughout the marathon that is Paris fashion week. Ginger, for one, or “a little Berocca – which is legal! – in my vodka.” Here’s what the style icon’s most excited about.
