The #1 Fashion Buy French Girls Use to Look Sassy

Model Camille Rowe is quickly becoming one of our favourite fashion faces, thanks to her effortlessly cool French-girl style. Rowe sticks to Parisian staples—including simple knitwear, jeans and wicker baskets—and her way to dress "sexy" is equally laid-back. In a video for Semaine and French label Sézane, the Victoria's Secret model reveals that instead of body-con or flashing skin, her trick to seductive dressing is by wearing well-cut jeans with a bodysuit that shows off her curves. Or as Rowe puts it, "I want my curves to be like this, like a guitar made by Picasso."

Her personal style icon might also surprise you. Rather than claiming Jane Birkin or Audrey Hepburn as her sartorial muse, she said the person who influences her outfits the most is her dad. "Looking inside my dad's closet was my first realization of fashion," she explains to Semaine. "He has been my fashion icon ever since."

Camille describes her style as easy-going, and to re-create her look all you'll need is a Breton top, a pair of cutoff jeans, white plimsolls, a Chloé bag, an elegant white shirt and a skater-style denim jacket.
