For the past week Paris has been celebrating Fashion Week's "ready to wear" collections. Last spring I managed to find a seat inside the Ellie Saab show, but this round, I think I found my favorite seat of all – a classic green fermob chair around the pond near Concorde. It became the best way to spend my friend Caitlin's last afternoon in town. After a quick stop of at Ladurée for macaroons, and Angelina's for a mont blanc, we had our prime seats in the Tuilleries Gardens for what turned out to be the Valentino show. I was really lucky that Caitlin was there to get these awesome pictures, as I was too busy devouring our pastries to be bothered. I highly recommend experiencing Fashion Week this way sometime. We even spotted the Sartorialist at work (navy blazer and khakis below) and believe he was with the fabulous Garance Doré as well.
Priorities.
The 60s inspired girls and a bunch of photographers.
Can I take your photo?
Garance (?) and Scott.
Dessert: round 2.Special thanks to Caitlin C. Earley for the wonderful photos!

It does sound like a fabulous afternoon, and those desserts... Miam! miam! (Yum) It's so funny you mentioned the green Fermob chair. I talked about them in this week's story on Parisian cafés! I love them too. A bientôt. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteHey lady!
ReplyDeleteGreat post and GREAT IDEA!
Not the Sartorialist below. The Sartorialist of a different hue and his government name is Scott Schumann. Between you and me, I love Garances' pics better.
OMG! I thought you were talking about the guy taking the picture. That IS scott schumann talking to the model. Didn't even see him. It's way too early! LOL!
ReplyDeleteomg! so much fun!!! what a great way to spend the afternoon!
ReplyDeleteps love your aforementioned 'priorities' ;)
how fun! I wish I could have done that, it seems like the best kind of people watching.
ReplyDeleteYep, you got them all right. Garance wearing the hat. Sartorialist the shorty on her right. In fact, he just posted a photo of her in that outfit on his blog.
