I only spent two days in Paris, but yet somehow it felt like a week. It's
funny how the shows suck you up into a magical parallel universe where
time becomes almost irrelevant and your role of
wife/partner/mother/friend cease to exist.

Show season in Paris is like a world of its own: the venues vary from
the tent in dreamy Jardin des Tulleries, to the most luxurious hotels in
the world and although the dress sense is deceptively laid-back,
everyone is actually wearing their best pieces. There's a sea of Celine bags and perfectly tailored navy winter coats, and everyone who is anyone is out, from Rihanna at Lanvin to Gisele who walked for Balenciaga. I
too pulled out one of my most precious items: a Jil Sander fluro pink
maxi skirt which I wore with Gucci ribbon lace-up courts, Other
Stories black jumper and Jil Sander black clutch bag. There is no
over-dressing in Paris!
The Dior show - hosted in a tent in the
gardens of the Musée Rodin - was a spectacular triumph of block-colour
dresses that I literally cannot wait to wear; starting with the pink
asymmetric billowy gown (I felt right on trend at the show in my pink skirt!)
Between one show and another presentation
I managed a quick stop at Monoprix for some Boutch'Ou gems for my
daughter Greta Zita, if you are ever in Paris it’s a must. Then I
enjoyed a late lunch at team Red’s favourite Angelina with my
colleague Emily Gegg.

Before I knew it it was time to head home on the Eurostar and even though I couldn't wait to see my family and wear jeans and flats, I will miss my parallel universe life as a fashion editor in Paris.. till next season!
