PARIS TRIP_ FEBRUARY
Unfortunately due to events at home that I could not control, I had a bit of a rough, upsetting and stressful time in Paris. However I was determined not to let it ruin my time there. Paris is a naturally beautiful place, with wonderful architecture and sights to die for. It also provides for great shopping and good food, always a plus.
During my visit, I visited the Musée de l’Orangerie which was home to Monet’s Waterlillies- a truly amazing experience. I walked in and my breath was taken away. The size, the depth of the colours, the mood, the emotion. It was great to see it up close and being able to experience the texture of the brush strokes, and the layering of colours and paint.
I also visited the concept stores Colette and Merci. These stores are almost like exhibition spaces, showcasing designer clothing in exciting and unusual ways. There is always a theme at Merci, this year it was athleisure (very fitting to my brief), and it suggested ways of making sportswear luxury. I enjoy just looking around these stores, taking in the atmosphere and the clean cut space.
We really made the most of this trip, and in the evenings we would find exciting places to eat (and drink cocktails).It was a physically draining trip, but I'm glad I didn't get on a train home like I threatened to do he whole time
