A la Parisienne

Virginie Mouzat

At the couture shows in Paris it is always fun to see what everyone is wearing, because they all “dress”. But what I liked most as I looked at last week’s street style pics, was that the French women looked as if they had forgotten, or more likely, ignored, the season’s “trends”. Trends that so many other women–Americans, Russians, Italians–seemed to pile on to the point of looking like walking Runway Reports. Prints! More Prints! Dangly Earrings! Fluorescent!

Not that the French women didn’t look super modern, because they did. And some of them seriously pushed the style barometer. But they did it in their own way. Which is what I call having style.
