I missed the boat when I was in France, surrounded by trainloads of book-reading commuters. Hopefully it’s not too late now, even with phone-toting, TV series-watching zombies everywhere.
Margiela, les années Hermès
No crazy crowds like at Dior the last round so it was a walk in the park discovering Margiela’s thoughtfully-designed pieces with a toddler and a stroller. Regret not making it to the other Margiela exhibition. Till 2 Sep 2018 at the recently-rebranded Musée des Arts Décoratifs.

Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris
Was glad I managed to spend a few hours at this museum last week. It’s rather well-curated with easily-digestible bite-sized information as compared to the mega fashion exhibitions at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs that can be overwhelming for those without a background in fashion. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the short film about Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé as well as the interviews with those who had worked at the haute couture house. Didn’t know he was such a big fan of Proust whose Du côté de chez Swann is next up on my reading list.
