Remember his name! Accustomed to great restaurants ( Lasserre , L'Abeille , Pavillon Ledoyen ), the former chef of Loiseau Rive Gauche Omar Dhiab will inaugurate his eponymous restaurant next to Place des Victoires in September . His signature ? A cuisine frankly in tune with the times (shellfish pimped with grass, croq sweetbreads and Grenoble condiment, grilled lobster, candied chickpeas and couscous juice…) which lets the memories of his childhood spent with an Egyptian dad and cook, madeleines that we find with the karkadé drink with hibiscus and the semolina cake to close the meal. All in an Art Deco atmosphere designed by the architectural studio Hauvette and Madani. It smells like the star...

Impossible to ignore purple for this fall-winter season. In a soft parma version to balance with beige, ultraviolet on a large piece, lavender on accessories, the most bankable fashion houses ( Chanel , Versace , Stella McCartney , Givenchy , etc.) have all declined their visions of the color of the moment. In stores, it can be found in particular on pants at Sandro , Stouls or Pablo , but also on a jacket or a dress at Destree and Barbara Bui . In short, it's now or never to get started!

Definitely, the creative team of Monoprix has no equal in unearthing collabs with the most inspiring names of the moment. The decoration collection that will be snatched up this fall will be signed Maria de la Orden , the chic Spanish designer known for her eponymous clothing label , but also for La Veste imagined with her BFF Blanca Miró . His DNA? A very colorful universe marked by fine stripes and a resolutely feel good childish mood, to be found on dresses, plates, sweaters, cups, overalls, cushions and notebooks. We have rarely been so excited for summer to end.

Collection available from October 26 in stores.

Lady Di , like you've never seen her before… This is the original idea for The Princess , the very beautiful documentary by Ed Perkins ( Tell Me Who I Am ). On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the disappearance of the Princess of Wales , the American director signs an intimate film on one of the greatest figures in the history of the British monarchy. Yet another documentary on the Royal Family ? Not only. Ed Perkins probes the terrible media rage that fell on her, leading to her loss, as well as the way in which her death considerably damaged the image of the crown. After the biopic Spencer earlier this year and a few weeks before the new season of The Crown , The Princess shows that Diana remains an icon that the world continues to possess.

August 31 and September 4, exclusively at the cinema.
