Cultures
When you think of art, culture and fashion, it is but natural that you conjure up images of Paris. Paris is the city of art and culture and thus, naturally of fashion too. It is home to some of the finest museums that showcase artists from different eras. A visit to Paris is dotted with visits to museums, art galleries and if you are lucky, to a fashion show too. Parisians have great pride in their city and it is well evident in the manner in which they enjoy life here. Whether it is an artist painting at Champs-Elysées, by the river Seine or a musician playing his saxophone during the quiet time in the metro, Paris is alive with culture and art in so many forms and styles.
The Mona Lisa is perhaps the most famous painting of all times. A visit to the Louvre will reward you with a view of Leonardo Da Vinci’s creation and many more by revered artists. There are many museums in the city and it would be wise to choose specialist museums that interest you. There are also several architectural and artistic places to visit, such as the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Pantheon, the Palais-Royal, Sainte-Chapelle, and of course the Eiffel Tower. For contemporary artists you can walk into one of the many art galleries in the city. The Seine riverside is often a wonderful place to watch students at work and also get a portrait done.
Paris is without a doubt the fashion capital of the world and boasts of designers such as Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Vuitton, Jean-Paul Gautlier and Chanel showcasing there work on the runways in fashion shows. It would not be wrong to say that it is here that the colors and styles of a season are decided and sometimes ignored. Whether it is clothes, hairstyles, makeup or perfumes, Paris is the direction that designers and artists across the world look to.
Every year when the Paris Fashion Week starts the styles, designs and cuts that models flaunt on the catwalk become the talk of the town. Buyers and fashion consultants from across the globe converge at the fashion capital of the world. The makeup that will dominate and hairstyles to go with the clothes also find equal space on the ramp and highlight techniques used. Most fashion brands have stores on famous streets such as those close to Champs-Elysees, rue de Sevres and rue de Rosiers in Le Marais. Affordable fashion brands are also found in many Parisian fashion stores.
