Fashion Industry in
Paris:
Paris is one of those cities that literally take your
breath away. Whether roaming around the
twenty districts or cruising on the Seine River, Paris will never
disappoint. There are beau coup amounts
of museums and stores, making boredom nonexistent. Paris is a city for all types of people. If you like chaos then you can head on over
to the Champs Elysees or spend a romantically quiet cappuccino at one of the
many cafes found on every corner. Every
part of Paris is contagious and will completely consume you.
The Eiffel Tower is the symbol of Paris. Being the tallest building in Paris, it is
possible to see the entire city from the top, and going to the top in an
absolute must while visiting Paris.
During the day this rod iron monument is very pretty, but at night it
turns into a spectacular beauty. The
Eiffel Tower sparkles every hour for five to ten minutes every night. The first time you see the tower sparkle,
Paris will have you heart forever. 
Outside of Paris there are some very important
attractions. The Port of Versailles
houses the palace where Queen Marie Antoinette once lived. This gorgeous Palace is now set up like a
museum for the world to see. The gardens and rooms are the exact replicas of
what they looked like in the 18th century. If in Versailles this past September one
could go to an amazing fashion exhibit.
This exhibit was housed in the Grand Trion (the King’s house.) Throughout the exhibit one can compare the
designs of the 18th century fashions to more current ones. Visiting the Queen’s Austrian village is a
must in order to see the sweet houses and farm animals. Complete your visit with some refreshing
orange juice or ice cream. 
If peaceful tranquility is important to you, then
venturing off to Giverny is a must.
There you will find the home of Claude Monet. With the gorgeous flora gardens and the
peaceful sight of the water lilly pond it is easy to see where Monet found his
inspiration. The gift shop is supplied
with beautiful prints of Monet’s artwork.
In Paris there are many different fashion marts. “Who’s Next” and “Pret A Porter” all show off
styles and fashions for upcoming seasons.
Here companies sell their lines to buyers from all over the world. There are also marts that display fabrics and
trimmings. This mart is called “Premiere
Vision.” This mart is where designers go
to purchase everything they need to create their new
lines. At these marts there are
publishers and fashion forecasting.
At the end of September fashion week took off. Fashion shows are everywhere and everything
in the city is fashion! Some of the
shows that were very impressive were Gareth Pugh with his horizontal stripes
and Rick Owens with his minimalist approach.
Many of the designers pushed bright colors like Elie Saab and Manish
Arora. These shows portrayed what will
be seen in stores in spring 2012. After
the shows the designers set up their show rooms to display their lines to
buyers. 
There are many shopping opportunities in Paris. Printemps and Galleries Lafayette are two big
department stores in the city. These
stores sell mainly the same products.
The building themselves are gorgeous and inspire you as soon as you walk
in. In the grocery section of Galleries
Lafayette one can see colorful salts and sugars. These spices are beautiful and very
unusual. Both stores house many great
designers from around the world and can be very crowded, especially on the
weekend!
Paris is a fantastic city that will make your dreams come
true. The atmosphere in Paris can take
some getting used to, however if you allow yourself to fully take in its
greatness, then you will see how wonderful it really is!
