Paris Showrooms

OK so we know that everything in Paris is just a little bit more beautiful than the rest of the world.

It seems as though, in Paris, Art and Culture take a higher priority than commerce.

It’s evident everywhere, I mean, this is the mall.. IMG_2081

Not unlike Pacific Centre, no?

And the Opera house.

This isn’t a blog about architecture in Paris, I am far to under qualified to write about that. It is, however, about the showrooms in Paris.

They are stunning.

Take for instance, Maison Rabih Kayrouz..

He is a Lebanese designer who came to Paris 4 years ago and has grown very very quickly.

His style is very simple, very pure.

The stairway up to his showroom.

And the massive floor to ceiling windows.

I loved the floor.

And the clothes. He used to do couture exclusively, until 4 years ago when he started ready-to-wear. Which is now carried at Le Clara, Bergdorf’s and The Room.
