The French are feeling as economically pinched as Americans, but I get the sense they are busting to look fashionable. I’ve noticed it all day as I go around to shows and look at people on the streets. Heading to Montmartre, I saw a young woman—20s, thin, medium height—in a pair of slim gray shorts that ended mid-thigh, a loose navy popover top, and a classic pair of black stilettos. Super chic. I’ve seen slim-fitting shorts with a sailor front, worn with chunky black sandals and a cream silk blouse. The look is tailored and sexy. And there are lots of women in mini skirts; this afternoon I saw a woman in a flaring navy cotton skirt with a red and white striped polo shirt. The best-looking dress at the moment seems to be a dark tunic. I’ve noticed a lot of the guys in the front row also wearing shorts, especially as a kind of nerd school-boy uniform with knee socks and maybe a pastel vest and a tie. And it’s a little surprising how many shows have hats—the porkpie, the scarecrow, the snap-brim. Shades of next summer…
