Printemps Fashion

I'm no fashion slave. Pretty much anyone who has ever met me can attest to that statement. However, since I arrived in Paris, I have had this interest in seeing a fashion show. Now if you want to live vicariously through someone who has been to real fashion shows, then head over to Coquette's site.

I, who will never see the real thing, checked out the fashion show at Printemps department store. They have a show every Tuesday that is open to the general public.

There were probably 150 people who came to watch the show. Printemps blasted some music and the fashion show began. The show was broken into 10 parts... One part was "Sur la Route," with fashions representing a "country tribute to Elvis," while Suspicious Minds played in the background. During this part of the show there was a lot of fur. It kind of looked like Davy Crockett had taken over the show.

The show ended on a wedding theme.


Overall, it's worth a trip over there. It is a free show and you don't have to make a reservation, so you can wake up one Tuesday and decide you have nothing else better to do.

Laura, Thank you for commenting. I hope you have a great European trip.
Sammy, Not sure what the thing on her head was... but it didn't look so bad in person.
Flare, Definitely worth an hour of your day.
