ElaineKim Elaine Kim at Paris Fashion Week

I met up with LA based designer Elaine Kim in Paris. I adore Elaine, she’s the type of girl you feel you’ve known since you were three, she wears her heart on her sleeve, and she’s just a really cool girl.
Elaine has loved fashion since she was a little girl. She sells everywhere from Saks Fifth Avenue to boutiques in Japan. This new collection for A/W 08 is strong and minimalist, she creates pieces that you’ll wear season after season and you’ll still look chic. Her collection is in silk and chiffon and is available in a palette of black, charcoal grey and berry.

Paris Fashion Week and Rue Cambon

 Paris Fashion Week and Rue Cambon

 Paris Fashion Week and Rue Cambon

I love hotels. I know I mention this all the time but it’s only because it’s true. Hotel rooms are so tidy and I guess I just need to be free of my clutter and debris. I also like a hotel that gives you your own little coffee pot at breakfast (I drink tea in the morning at home but when I’m out I always have coffee).

When I was a student and in between flats I once shared my friend’s chambre de bonne (tiny single room flat usually on the top floor) across from Chanel on Rue Cambon, and for some reason I found it very funny that years later I’m staying on Rue Cambon but this time I’m at the lovely Castille Paris (33-37 Rue Cambon), right beside Chanel, for Paris Fashion Week! It seems ironic…but not accidental, it actually seems odd because it feels normal.

I love going to Paris because I really love cafes. It doesn’t matter how late it is, there is always a cafe open – it’s not the same as going to your local English pub. I’ve also decided that when I’m 75 I want to dress like a 75 year old, chic Parisian woman: clean lines, beautiful fabrics, a scarf, good shoes and nice hand bag. It gives me something to look forward to, and if I’m going to be old I’m going to dress well!

On Off at Paris Fashion Week

Atmosphere On Off at Paris Fashion Week

Atmosphere takes place in the one of the tents in the Jardin des Tuileries, and features designers from all over the world. It’s large but it feels intimate in comparison to some of the other exhibitions, which are massive. There are quite of few designers from the UK as part of On Off!

PremiereClasse Premiere Classe   Paris Fashion Week

I really enjoyed Premiere Classe. I love accessories and the selection was overwhelming – there are over 300 vendors; there were 3 glove exhibitors, 79 shoes designers, 80 jewellery designers, 51 hat designers, 81 bag designers plus scarf, sunglasses and umbrella designers! I think it’s so difficult to be a buyer!!!
Amy from Comfort Station has been showing at Premiere Classe for several seasons!
