BRIEF ALERTS! Paris

This week’s Intimate DiscoverySalon De Lingerie and Interfiliere

I am back from Europe and my semi-annual foray to the Interfiliere fabric show and the Salon De Lingerie.  From Paris, where despite the chilly, wet weather, one still saw the quintessential French signature of elegance and color blooming on the city streets.  I returned here to a snow laden New York where the monochromatic beauty of an onslaught of snow has turned my yard into a scene from Dr. Zhivago.  But despite the disparity of these two visions, I think they both affirm a critical message gleaned from this exposition: a proclivity of color, light and whimsy merge with precision, structure and form.  I will have more about the show in my next blog, but for now, the important message, well stated by my colleagues at Concepts Paris:  There are no more seasonal trends, just constantly innovative ideas that inform design.
