PFW, The Battle for Versailles, yesterday in Paris

 

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.

Enfin, in front of Le Meurice a très chic femme

And a nice big smile from her…she spotted me angling to get a shot.

More lines in front of 

Pastry magician Cedric Grolet’s patisserie.

For these rather triste looking fruit look-alike pastries. One does not want to think of the cost 💲💲💲💲 🙀

Always Lines at E.Goyard luxury luggage 🧳 

I peeked into Astier de Villatte, thinking I might find some fashionistas..🐶 woof

Jeweled fruit & veg in Astier’s window..

Long story short, after a wander in the rain ☔️ I went for a bowl of my fav Miso Ramen at Sapporo. 

At home I checked in on VogueFrance latest fashion reports.

I could go for some Cecilie Bahnsend.
