Of course, all the big name designers have shops in Paris. Funny thing - we never saw anyone go in or out of these shops. No customers visible inside the stores. How do they make money???
Look at this shoe - note the metal spikes around the buckles at the ankle and arch. Ouch!
Outrageous, but I guess that is the point.
Chanel. Very nice old building these shops are in. Looks like it was once part of the French government since it has the iron fence with gold tips on the spears.
These are familiar names around the world.
Always makes me have more questions. I wonder who the people are who design each piece for these brands. Are they young out of the Fashion Institute or seasoned professionals? I have a basic idea of how designs are done but I'd love to see what happens behind the scenes. After all, we saw some drama last fall on Fashion Star. What is the honest annual retail sales numbers out of these stores?
No surprise to see a red outfit at Valentino.
Would love to see what's in the vault, wouldn't you?
