It’s PFW/Paris Fashion Week. Yesterday I went out looking some style in the streets
Librairie Galignani on rue de Rivoli was having a book 📕 party/
A Soirée for THE BATTLE OF VERSAILLES.
Watch the video for the whole fab story. Link above ☝️
Again I got there too early 🙄 on the dot of opening. What was I thinking? Model Pat Cleveland center.
All the ‘Names, Sweetie Darling, Names’ (except model Pa) came fashionably late (Ines de la Fressange, Marisa Barenson, Suzy Meknes, Sarah Handelman (Colette’s owner) etc. FYI…I was a design assistant to Anne Klein, (in the 80’s) one of the American designers who participated in the Versailles show.
I moved on next door 
To browse in Angelina..
It’s been such a long time…some new creations onboard. Strictly shoot 📸 and run.
I loved ❤️ the roses 🌹cascading down the windows
Outside…big long, lines waiting patiently for Angie.
*Go for a breakfast and skip the lines.They open early 7:30 🕢
Double lines! Poor souls.
Rain, rain, nonstop rain 🌧️
This week who can find style in the streets
When everyone is under big umbrellas ☂️
Hotel Le Meurice provides their guests with lovely shade of Laduree-green brollies, which add a touch of glam.
I could go for some Cecilie Bahnsend.
Thank you for all the glorious colorful pix! However, does anyone in Paris wear anything but navy blue?
ReplyDeleteMarine blue is the color of choice in Paris.
DeleteNeck and neck with New York black. I bought a navy Olympic T-shirt on sale just yesterday! I guess I drank the Kool-Aid.
Your "Ab Fab" reference did not go unnoticed! Made me smile. What an stunning and elegant woman you found outside of the Meurice. She is obviously Someone. I suppose she is a model, or maybe a designer herself? I wonder if she ever gets to eat though, poor thing.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely ’someone’…maybe a customer for high-end couture? Qui sait. Many of these women look too thin. But then you see the extreme ones, like at my pool And you know it’s an illness.
DeleteFun but I’d rather eat good food and not worry about weight.
ReplyDeleteWorry about our weight? Difficult not to when one's galfriend lost 40 pounds in one year on ozempic...
ReplyDeleteMonday was our last day in Paris and we spotted what surely must have been a few models in town for the shows. My 5'3" self stood next to one in line at the grocery store and I felt like we surely came from different planets! Loved seeing them though, so exotic! We were happy to be leaving as the rain was getting started in earnest.
ReplyDeleteParis is invaded with these tall extraterrestrials during PFW
DeleteLike exotic tropical migrating birds 🐦
And then they depart 👋
A lovely rainy day wander, Carol. You covered a lot of ground. And then, your reward - soup! 😋
ReplyDeleteYes soup 🥣 is a nice reward 😊
DeleteBrave soul, walking in the fresh new rain to get photos for your lovely blog. Merci enjoyed looking at everyone of them
ReplyDeleteOh good! It was mostly drizzle for me.
DeleteYesterday was declared ‘heavy’ and intermittent.
I made soup and stayed in except for a morning run 🏃♂️ to Bastille marché 🥕
