Today I had a real lazy day at school: We skipped the first lesson, because our teacher wasn’t coming, after I’ve had a lesson of English (which is really weird, because when the French students translate, they translate from French to English, I translate from French to German and finally into English). The following lesson was cancelled, too, so free day for us in Paris!
First, we headed out for Auber to check out the major shops H&M,Printemps and Zara.
Afterwards I took the Metro 1 and got off at Place de la Concorde- I wanted to go to the Tulleries and see wheter there’s a big rush for the Louvre today. Infact it was. No big surprise. So I decided to put my visit aside and move it to a less tourist crowded day. Nevertheless I went into the underground „Centre Du Louvre“, which includes the museum‘s entrance and as well many shops, cafes and a big Metro Station- all in the underground.
I just wanted to turn into the gait to the Metro, as I spotted a bis poster with the words: „Semaine des createurs de mode Paris“ (Paris Fashion Week). Gosh! How could I forget?! Today the Paris Fashion week is going to start! So I followed the banners, until I reached the grand hall with the inverted pyramid in its middle. Here, heavy work was going on. Men set up an enormous runway, with huge white partitions, hundreds of white varnish chairs and bright spotlights.
Guards made sure, that there’s no one coming through, who wasn’t involved. It already looked very impressiv.
Tomorrow, the most important runway shows of the year will start here. Directly underneath the famous Louvre. Who could imagine a better place for a fashion show?
