French Dressing

Heimstone Clothing

There’s a lot to envy about Madeline. That charming house covered in vines. Wandering the city of lights in two straight lines. But mostly, those adorable navy wool coats.

Enter the girls behind the latest Parisian clothing line, Heimstone, who couldn’t be more d’accord with our fascination with the children’s book heroine.

Inspired by the impeccably dressed petites filles they saw in the streets, Alix Petit and Delphine Delafon fashioned a women’s collection that is nothing short of magical.

Empire-waist baby doll dresses with pockets in color combos like black and navy and black and mustard resemble Mad’s school uniform. A black silk and forest green velvet romper will suit your next playdate. And your inner enfant terrible will shine in a gray velvet dress with risque zippers down the front (inspired by bikers).

There’s a perfect piece for almost any occasion.

Now if only they’d come out with those darling yellow rain slickers.
