Fashion | Twenty Three

Whether you love Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs or not (but who wouldn’t?) you must give this exhibit a visit if you are in Paris. It chronicles both the achievements of Louis and his son Georges Vuitton, and Marc Jacobs as the creative director since 1997. For a Louis lover like myself, this exhibit was amazing- I could not get enough of those trunks! They even had one with M.L. on it- I definitely need that, birthday present anyone?

The first floor was all Vuitton, and the second all Jacobs. Each was laid out beautifully and innovatively. There were mini garments to showcase what a daily outfit consisted of in the 1800’s, pieces x-rayed, a wall of video inspiration, models with animals heads, and the list goes on. Definitely worth it to give this exhibit a look.

I die for this suit.

The other day I went into Paul et Joe Sister and Homme in the Marais in Paris, and what a cute store! I had never really given this brand much thought, and boy I was missing out. The women’s clothes are girly, fun, and have a little vintage kick to them- as do the mens. The Men’s clothing is absolutely fabulous- it is different than what you see everyday- Pink, blue, and patterned blazers, textured pants, and soft sweaters, all in great colors and fun patterns. It’s pretty fantastic.

I was so lucky in that the owner/designers son, Adrien, happened to pop in, so we all got talking, and he told us all about the brand and even showed us the cookbook for next spring (which is pretty fabulous). In addition to Men and Sister (which a lower priced, younger line) they also have just Paul et Joe, Kids, and beauty. I highly suggest you check it out- whether online or in a store- the one I visited was at 55 Rue ville du temple in Paris.
