Carlotta is a pseudonym I’ve been using for a few years now. I used to add the last name of Stermaria as a nod to one of my favorite books to designate the elegant grown-up I hoped to (finally) become one day.<\/p>\n
Due to some serendipitous misshap, I finally ditched the Stermaria : welcome home – you can call me Carlotta.<\/p>\n
There’s a little bit of everything in this blog, which I consider as my own little corner of the internets, but it deals mostly with style: sewing, mostly, but also cinema and various thoughts about the way we inhabit our clothes and lives.<\/p>\n
To illustrate my thoughts, I often use pictures by illustrator extraordinaire Ren\u00e9 Gruau, and sometimes I’m lucky enough to have my friend Nocturna<\/a> take pictures for me. Sometimes, illustrations and pictures are just my own.<\/p>\n In real life, my name is Charlotte. I live in beautiful Nantes, in western France. Nantes boasts at being the hometown of Jules Verne, but to me it’s mostly the hometown of French director Jacques Demy (whom I love). There, I dance, play music (I sing and play ukulele), and ride a lovely blue bike.<\/p>\n If you have a question, some project you’d like to share with me, or are downright curious, you can write to\u00a0me by using the form below.
