Françoise Hardy may create a clothing line for La Redoute !

RUMOR : Could French pop and fashion icon Françoise Hardy be ready to test her talent as a designer? Rumor has it the singer-songwriter is in talks with catalogue giant La Redoute about a clothing line in her name. Meanwhile, a capsule collection for fall designed by Christian Lacroix has been so successful, La Redoute has signed on the acclaimed couturier for another season.

Rumor was not far from the truth ! In fact Françoise Hardy and her son Thomas will be modeling for the catalogue La Redoute.

Her son is very handsome but my God, who cares about that modeling news ? I would be more happy in knowing her coming back in a work on a songs album !

Picture from Metro for La Redoute :

That is the proof she's still able to be handsome, even with her old age. She simply needs a nice hairdresser, some fashion clothes and a very nice son....

May be also a very professional photograph and some appropiate lights.....

And the illusion is there. Special thanks to La Redoute that is from now on my favorite catalogue !

You speak a fluently greek, Zorba !

What is funny with these pictures is to see Thomas. He looks so much like his father did ! But at the same time he seems much closer to Françoise than his dad was when he was his age...

Very nice mother and son pictures !

A new set of pictures about La Redoute has been posted...

Follow the link : http://mon-amie-hardy-rose.1fr1.net/gallery/Photos/Photos-cat_c4.htm

Tremendous pictures !!! Françoise is so nice and still looking so young...

Is-it the same woman than the one we saw recently on TV news,
during the last show of her ex-father-in-law Henri Salvador ?

She was arboring an old hat from her mother's old clothes, Madeleine,
deeply pulled on her ears, and her beautifull eyes were hidden
behind huge glasses from her stupid husband's collection...

May be there are two girls in her ????

I made a small "animation" from the La Redoute pictures... I hope you'll enjoy.

Is-it an illusion or may be the photograph improved a little bit the pictures,
but it seems that Françoise took some grammes in her chiks ?
That makes her much younger and nicer.....

You should ask the photograph ! Who is he by the way ?

It's not necessary to ask the photograph,
who ever it will be, but not John-Mary Waterwithbubbles !

Just look at her chicks and compare :

Très beau montage. Merci Alexandre. Avez-vous remarqué comme elle ressemble à Dutronc sur le portrait avec les lunettes noires ?

Souvent on finit par remarquer une certaine similitude dans les couples, sur un détail, notamment.

Zorba, this is not a proof of anything... The pictures for La Redoute were shooted very lately (after eating Christmas pudding ?) while the one "without chicks" was shooted many months ago.

Jérôme added : English section here. Be careful !

Sorry !

I'm glad you enjoyed (even in french...)

The making of :

Very funny, so much complicity between the mother and her son !

Françoise is very well sublimated and her eyes keep always that so deep-greened colour.
Thomas shows her a so hard tenderness that makes her so lightly smiling.

She seems to be so much more happy than she was with her ugly husband at the same age...

Such a wonderfull moment ... they are really alike.... and so funny the Zorba's jealousy with her ugly husband .....

LOL! Actually I thought Jacques was quite cute when he was young.

Hello Amanzi1,

welcome aboard !
As you said, Jacques was ... (cute and young )

Yes.. LOL... WAS is a good choice of words.

I'm happy, i can use the only words i know in english " Her taylor is rich".

LOL! Actually, I am sure, Amanzi thinks Jacques is quite charming since he is mature.

French Style Icons: Françoise Hardy


Bob Dylan dedicated a poem to her, Mick Jagger described her as his “ideal woman” and the former head of Balenciaga, Nicolas Ghesquière, cited her as an influence… still as striking, stylish and talented in her sixties as she was in the 60s, singer/songwriter Françoise Hardy is a natural choice for our French Style Icons hall of fame.

Hardy rose to fame as a part of the French ‘yé-yé pop music scene with the B-side of her first single becoming a Europe-wide hit in 1962. Her impressive discography spans 6 decades and her cult status has secured collaborations with Blur, Malcolm McLaren and Iggy Pop. She released her most recent album, L’amour fou, in 2012.

Hardy’s style icon status was cemented in the mid-60s when she was photographed wearing Dior, Paco Rabanne, Yves St Laurent and La Redoute’s AW13 designer collaborator Courrèges, leaving a legacy of images that capture a mix of girl-next-door charm and that unmistakable French cool.
At the age of 64 Hardy modelled for La Redoute’s SS 08 collection, providing a fashion role model for older women and proving that, with a little French know-how, women can look stylish at any age.
 
To get Françoise Hardy’s retro look try our striped sweater, biker jacket or Courrèges jacket. If you prefer the classic French chic look, the Laura Clement collection features simple, elegant pieces with lasting appeal.

So, if I understand : Françoise Hardy, when she was young was model for Dior, Paco Rabanne, Yves St Laurent, Courreges. And now, she is model for La Redoute, Damart ... 

Not sure about Damart ,Luc. I don't think it would be  her cup of tea!
