Exhibition: See and Be Seen
Feb 7th, 2008 by Carrie
Although Paris fashion week has come and gone there are still some remnants here and there. The sales are in effect until the 19 of February, and even though much sifting is involved, I have heard that good deals can still be had at Gallery Lafayette. But if you happen to come across a 75 percent off sign at the Chloé purse stand I don’t want to know about it, as the 50 percent off already got the better of me. And if rampant consumerism, and pretty face fashion isn’t your thing, you can always have a go at the gritty side of Paris à la mode through the photographs of Luc Choquer. His work, although quite fashionable, looks predominantly at those on the edges of fashion or those looking in. If you’ve ever been to a Paris fashion show or even in the district where one is happening, you can’t miss the skinny legs or the beehive-meets-convent look of Diane Pernod (photo on the left). Until February 23rd.
