You have 4 days to go bask in the magnificent Grand Palais, always a pleasure.
There are many arresting images.
Roses everywhere.
Yves Klein blue everywhere.
Here in Richard Caldicott's 1990's still lifes. This gallery owner wants to have me arrested.
A very silly Yves Klein blue doggie bag.
A real dog on a visitor's arm. This is a first. Did she hide it under her coat at entrance?
Cat in the bag?
My bag was definitely not big enough.
Fashion photos always captivate. Arther Elgort shot models in Chrisitan Lacroix.
Franco Fontana Italian models.
Vintage Twiggie carrying her roller skates at the Eiffel Tower on a gallery wall. No credit available.
Old Paris, 1949 by Robert Frank
Really old Paris by Ilse Bing, a leader of modern photography in Paris in the 1930s .
Vintage photos of Grace Coddington by brilliant fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez. He discovered so many models int the 70s.
My photo of the inimitable Grace...outside a Chanel show. (Not in the show FYI).
Last night
The drink of choice
Was La Parisienne beer. I love his Yves Klein blue watch...
