Just like heaven

I promise to pipe down about my Paris adventures after this post, so I hope you can tolerate one more. I wanted to share a place that is quite close to what I could call heaven: the Rick Owens store in Paris. If you’re in town, this beautifully composed boutique, located in the corridors of the magnificent Palais Royal, is definitely worth a visit. I made my two (and only) Paris purchases here, which haven’t been properly introduced yet. Just another thing to add on my ever growing “to do” list.

This blog has been on a well deserved break while the blogger and her photographer have been on a hectic summer holiday, including guests from California and traveling to Finnish Lapland.

Returning to the everyday life isn’t easy, especially when work is calling on Monday and summer is soon coming to its end. Hence, what better way to cheer up the mood than sharing some more of the fashion week pictures containing very soigné men, taken on a crazy night in the heart of Paris. The most discerning viewers might spot some familiar faces too.

I hope you are not tired of my Paris stories yet because here comes another one. After the Damir Doma show we decided to fool around, chat to some  of the fellow street style photographers, and actually properly perpetuate my outfit for once. Do check out my friend Arash’s self-made wedges that I jokingly named as “Shit Owens“, and which Arash himself describes as “a desperate attempt at feeling fabulous” (after breaking three pairs of these RO medges during spring. Not to worry though, according to the very helpful and friendly Rick Owens sales people in Paris, with the new f/w 10 collection the quality issues have been solved). At least they provided entertainment and were one of the most photographed shoes out there. Arash dreams of becoming a shoe designer one day and I really don’t blame him for doing so, at least he is not lacking of imagination.

Paris men’s fashion week: Damir Doma S/S 2011

The last but not least of the fashion shows during Paris men’s fashion week, was the Spring/Summer 2011 collection of Croatian born designer Damir Doma. The beautiful school courtyard where the show was held at, was buzzing with fashion elite and insiders. Attending a massive event like this was the best possible ending for this fashion week experience.

In this coherent collection, Damir Doma has traveled to the Orient with relaxed silhouettes, kaftans, keffiyefs, and fez hats. This style has been featured quite a few times on the runway but never did it catch my attention to this extent; The subtle looks and earthly colors create a peaceful atmosphere, one could even say it created a zen like state where in everything co-existed in both peace and harmony.
