Galaries Lafayette. At night when no one is around. I was taking a night walk with a pair of Singapore designers. One of them mentioned that in his younger days, he might be in his early 50s now, he would traipse around town until 3 in the morning so no one would bother him when he's taking pictures of displays. Now he just admires window displays of stores near his hotel. With me and the designer, the much younger people. But, obviously we have less drive. We were perfectly content with no desire to wander too far. Very windy lah.
Window display of Galaries Lafayette at Boulevard Haussmann. Collaboration between the department store and Vogue to dress up windows.
But no French girl dresses like this. They dress in an extremely non fussy manner - they love their trench coats, scarves, Gerard Darel bags, ballet flats and skinny jeans. Hair can be artfully messy, like French farm girl.
