Fashionista PFW

Yesterday I took a break from arm-wrestling the September Paris Map to go Uptown…yes I know it’s 30 Septembre, but I’ve been arm wrestling 🤼‍♀️ all week with Ines…

It’s PWF (Paris Fashion Week). I hate missing out on what’s going on. Dior is showing bubble skirts evidently…

New York Girls

I always wonder how Bill Cunningham does it?

Capture the New York Girl with such dash and ease..? Yesterday as I was slogging through the 90 degree heat, the New York Girl was everywhere! New York tourists are always looking up, so they completely miss her... Or they're looking and shooting each other at New York 'monuments' like Rock Center...The way to find the TRUE New York Girl (or NYG) is to look at the ground... Fab sandals everywhere. Does this NYG have a twisted ankle? Divinely simple Gucci sandals - how could I miss the logos all over... The Gucci's owner - quite soigne and all in neutrals.

A Bit of skirt...

Catching a trend/tendance in Paris is an ephemeral thing. It started with this poetic poster in a high-end rue Vavin children's shop...
Next this painted ruffly tutu at the Art-Paris show...
Repetto's windows were full...
Of paper sculpture tutus.
They sell real tulle tutus inside...
Was I seeing a Degas trend in Paris..?
peut-etre...according to CarolineDaily, a terrific French time-sucker fashion trend site, the frilly, flouncy mini skirt/la jupe à volants is IN for Spring 2010!
It's in Colette's vitrines...
et enfin...
Dans la rue...believe me when I tell you, you wouldn't want to be with me in Paris. Especially when I'm chasing someone down the street for a shot...
On Jour Du Macarons I caught the whole look...

Rosettes on the knee socks...

A silk rose in the hair - all worn by a macaron waiter-on-line at the Pierre Herme rue Cambon shop...mignon non?

Polyvore has caught up with the shorty, ruffly skirt...

And The New Yorker has caught up with Polyvore, so we better get out our sissors vite! We can all become virtual Anna Wintours...

The most edible frill on the rue in my book is always at Gerard Mulot - a mini swirl of indulgent pure, riche chocolat - Miam!

Has the mini jupe volant turned up on the streets of New York?

It has. Get out your sissors and start cutting up any old ruffly skirt hidden in the back of your closet VITE!

BONJOUR LES JUPES VOLANTS!
