Paris is the home to haute couture and synonymous with some of our fashion muses, including Caroline de Maigret and British-born Jane Birkin. So, for spring-summer 2019, it should not come as a surprise that Paris did not disappoint.
Before we get to our fashion picks, there were some notable events that came out of Paris, including Hedi Slimane making his creative director debut for Celine and Chanel took us to the beach, which came after the brand announced their purchase of British swimwear brand Orlebar Brown.
So much fashion so little time.

Since then, we were hooked on her and her namesake brand. As we would travel, we would stop into her boutiques, and when she showed a new collection, we would check it out. For ss19, she takes us from the life of the party to classic and demure. We appreciate the range and want something from every part of the spectrum.
