ABOUT US
WHO IS THE CAR FASHIONISTA?
The Car Fashionista is the blog of automotive journalist Isabelle Havasy on which she shares her favorites, road tests, pages of history of women’s cars and other articles that testify to her rich experience in the field… and her past as a stylist! Indeed, Isabelle takes real pleasure in admiring these machines with their unbelievably perfect lines, whose history is intrinsically linked to the development of our modern lifestyle.
A symbol of freedom, these cars that define our identity have also contributed to the emancipation of women.
Through this blog, she tries to explore the impact that women have had and still have on the automobile industry. She retraces the portraits of these exceptional people who have left their mark on the past and shares the feminine vision of this means of transportation that is an integral part of our daily lives.
A true incursion into a world of men seen through the eyes of women. The Car Fashionista appropriates in its own way a historically masculine niche and thus brings a breath of fresh air to automotive journalism!
THE TEAM BEHIND 
Isabelle
Founder and writer
After having worked in fashion and cinema, Isabelle rediscovered her passion for cars and, after two university certificates in Italian studies and journalism, set out to conquer the automotive world. An adventure in which she leads her accomplices to explore this world under a new eye!
YOUR DREAM CAR
A mythical Mercedes 300SL convertible, the class in all its splendor and perfect for my road trip.
A ROAD TRIP TO DO ONE DAY
Les Mille Miglia, discovering Italy by following the roads of the most beautiful race in the world!
BEST SONG TO HIT THE ROAD
One moment in time by Whitney Houston, because inside a car is the best place to push the note and make you believe that you can sing as well as dear Whitney!
DRIVER OR CO-PILOT
Definitely a driver, even if I make an excellent co-driver, always on the lookout and never falling asleep!
Violaine
Writer
Violaine is not passionate about anything, but curious about everything – life is too short! That’s why she gets her kicks out of tackling a subject she knows little about, because the paths to understanding it are always rich and surprising. With a degree in communications and writing, more experience in life than in driving, and an assumed frankness, she produces texts that are heterogeneous, thorough, rigorous but enthusiastic.
YOUR DREAM CAR
Audi A8, for luxury, comfort, performance and a zero-frills look.
A ROADTRIP TO DO ONE DAY
In the United States, no doubt about it! Either the mythical 66 or the East Coast and its vast, diverse landscapes.
BEST SONG TO HIT THE ROAD
Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed. Its relaxed and contemplative tune allows to just be in the moment.
DRIVER OR CO-PILOT
Definitely co-pilot! I have an excellent sense of direction and I’m good at calling the shots!
Anne
Writer
“Let’s go! “It’s kind of Anne’s favorite expression. If at the end of the road, she has learned more about a subject or a person, she will be happy. This makes her a jack-of-all-trades, passionate about old vintage cars, whose gist she likes to tell. That doesn’t prevent her from appreciating the ultra modern cars for their class (it’s all in everything!).
Her flaw? Interviews that turn into heated discussions that have to be transcribed afterwards!
YOUR DREAM CAR
The 1957 Corvette. Whoever gives it to me, I’ll marry him!
A ROAD TRIP TO DO ONE DAY
The Overseas Highway heading to the Keys in a convertible! And then re-do Route 66, but this time in its entirety!
BEST SONG TO HIT THE ROAD
I love Rock N’ Roll, screamed at the top of my lungs, my hair ruffled by the wind.
DRIVER OR CO-PILOT
Driver! I have a sense of direction of – 8000! With the Car Fashionistas, I’d probably be the one in the back shooting everything I see, shouting to Isabelle: “Stop!” to take an improbable photo of a tumbleweed…
Cyril
Photographer
It was while watching a documentary on pike river fishing at the age of 10 that Cyril discovered his vocation as a car photographer! Then, after having exhausted the European car pool available down to the last body, he loaded his Kodak and landed in America to peacefully massacre on a photographic level everything that can be nicknamed “vehicle”.
Oh yes, his beloved Grandmother was named Simone!
Let’s get in the car…
YOUR DREAM CAR
Buick RoadMaster, the name says it all!
A ROAD TRIP TO DO ONE DAY
California, an old dream since my childhood.
BEST SONG TO HIT THE ROAD
Ouch! There are so many, and fortunately! But let’s go for Dwight Yoakam Guitars, Cadillacs. Otherwise Icona Pop, I love it, it works just as well!
DRIVER OR CO-PILOT
Driver, but with a co-driver, I’m really bad at orientation.
