Nathalie Seaver Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles is almost 6,000 miles from Paris, France. Step inside Nathalie Seaver’s quaint boutique on trendy West Third Street in L.A. and you wonder if you’ve been transported overseas. Self-proclaimed Francophile, Seaver, is the owner of the ten year old boutique which features her unique clothing designs as well as other fun trinkets that celebrities like Paris Hilton, Diane Lane and Christina Aguilera covet.

While Seaver’s mom, well-known chef Jeanette Seaver, concocted recipes in their New York City kitchen, adolescent Nathalie sewed her own skirts and dresses. Though one might think a budding designer would jump immediately into fashion design, Nathalie dabbled in television where she was a director of programming for the Showtime television network.

But there was a certain “je ne sais crois” about her work that left her dissatisfied. Seaver decided it was time to make a living making clothes. So far the results have been, how do you say. . .maqnifique!

The Deb Dress is at the top of two of my lists which include “Must Buy to Seduce Men” and “Must Buy to Wear While Moseying in Paris.” Yes, those lists can be combined, but one is exclusively for the next time I visit Paris. While the shape is innocent and gently caresses the body, the fabric exudes sex appeal and curiosity about the femme fatale wearing it. Seaver’s line is extremely feminine and flirty without going over the top.

Some might consider the other items in her store over the top, but I think they’re just fun and fabulous! Figurine cheese graters and funky cufflinks? S’il vous plait!!
