Helloooo people, sorry for not posting here in a while but if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you'll know that I've been on a whirlwind two-day trip to Paris for men's week. I wasn't intending to go at all - The Thesis is calling - but then Issey Miyake invited me for the third time and I just couldn't say no again... And after all it's Paris, who could resist?
I just got home last night, pretty much exhausted since I managed to really pack it in (5 shows, 1 shopping trip, 3 meals, 1 museum, and countless glasses of rosé champagne) so I'll try to get my show photos up ASAP - some of them are incredible! But I had to start with my amazing residence for the night - was it really just one night? - the so-trendy-it's-killing-me party hotel Mama Shelter. While not exactly in the nicest area (I was convinced a man near Gambetta metro station was going to stab me for my fur handbag walking back at night), the Philippe Starck converted parking garage is chic and outrageous in the most hipster of ways. Blacked-out carpets, polished concrete walls and seriously low-level lighting make it the perfect place to get up to naughtiness at night, as if I ever would :-) The bedside lights are hidden inside playful cartoon masks, the bathroom products are Kiehl's, the ground floor hosts what is apparently the IT place to dine in Paris - I've never seen somewhere that busy on a Wednesday night. It might have something to do with the male model waiters. Mama Shelter has also converted me to the wonder of Apple TVs; a television, radio, computer and shop all rolled into one. They even come with an iTunes stuffed with free movies (including an XXX version of Friends) and a camera to take your photos in bed (WARNING: these also get displayed in the bar downstairs - use with caution).
I may have only been there for one night but I think I definitely took advantage of all the facilities when my school friend Claire came over for dinner. And I'm planning on coming back very, very soon...
In top photo I'm wearing an Acne 'Paris' sweatshirt, Club Monaco shirt, Odyn Vovk grey trousers. Later I'm wearing a copper neoprene t-shirt by Giuseppe Virgone. The random selection of accessories include by Jas MB fur handbag, a Christopher Kane 'Aqua' clutch, a tinsel headband by John Rocha. The last photo shows my Liberty faux fur scarf and the Neil Barrett winter coat.
