Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn.
My name is Kevin and Tais-toi, Sois Beau is my brainchild. I live here in this amazing city that is New York, where dreams come true and where I started this adventure in pursuit of my personal dream.
The name comes from a phrase my grand-mother once told my brothers and I at a chic Parisian socialite party, back in the days when I was still wearing my tuxedo for kids. And you might guess that ever since then, a sleek and elegant attire has always been my mantra because style determines who you are and who you want to be. But as individuals we shall create and develop our own fashion as a lifestyle and Fashion should not just wear you simply to say to yourself “Je suis à la mode“.
I may just be an occasional shopper and cannot afford right now a perfect Tom Ford 3-piece suit neither these shiny Lanvin mocassins, but my love for Fashion and specially sartorial splendor was born when I first stole my mother’s Elle or Madame Figaros at the age of 8. By that time I could give you the names of the supermodels and describe a Cardin or YSL collection. So here I came on the Internet to start this blog 2 years ago with the only objective to share my opinion on fashion trends and designers from the past, present and the future.
My dream? Sitting front-row between Christian Dior, Carine Roifteld, Suzy Menkes and Isabella Blow at Yves Saint Laurent’s first collection for the house of DIOR in 1958. The day when newspapers headlined: “St. Laurent has saved France, the great Dior tradition will continue.”
I am not a professional editor neither an expert, this blog is simply my diary of self-indulgence in pursuit of a dream. Hope you enjoy reading and do not hesitate to contact me at kevin at taistoisoisbeau dot com to send me your comments and suggestions.
