Right before we move into spring, we catch the last few glimpses of the city of light in winter. Here the fashion week crowd gives us plenty to look at set against the gorgeous background of the Jardin des Tuileries. These former royal gardens, home to numerous museums and an abundance of statuary, now transformed into a fashion week locale provide us with something a bit more temporary but no less worthy of snapshots and study. Take a walk through and enjoy the scenery. Written by Eric Mcentee /
With grey skies over the city of light, this gallery reveals how fashion holds up at dusk. Here, like a finely woven tapestry, the different styles that make up the city's weave lead our eye from one end to the other on the streets and in the fashion spectrum. From bohemian knitwear to the most contemporary puffy nylon outerwear, personalities spill over the closely wrapped scarves and we glance the diverse cultural atmosphere of Paris through the ensembles of these passerby. A grey day in Paris may seem like gloom, but to a photographer it always amounts to freshness, as grey days are the best for photographs and here are fine images as crisp as the cool night air.

All of the attractions of a world capital of expression glow in this gallery from Paris. The refreshing outfits of the natives and the gorgeous backdrop bring the distant city within the reach of a glance. Here is the living pulse of fashion as you would find it yourself, captured by our photographer, in the winding streets of Paris where beauty is everywhere.

One of the spots you cannot miss if you want to enjoy the opportunity of being in one of the charmest cities in the world and bright up your wardrobe with some dress-to-kill outfits. Funny to notice one of the main attractions was the Louis Vuitton vitrine. All the girls waiting to have the field open to get to the shopwindow and being immortalized there by their friends. Not only the usual posh teenagers with some pocket money and maybe daddy's credit card for the holidays, but also families where all the women were covered with veils. That's one of the things that make this city so special. You can walk along the Champs and see a young girl in a skirt which looks more like a belt than a minijupe sitting close to a muslim woman dressed in the traditional burka, a Japanese tourist and perhaps a nun all together on the same bench. Once the place for the nouveaux riches, it is now mainly a touristic and business/leisure centre. The closest you get to the Arc de Triomphe the more you see photo and videocameras. The last language you expect to hear is French. Cinemas, fast food establishments, the recent presence of some well-known clothing chains (in 2007 the City of Paris prohibited H&M to open a store) coexist now with some of the most luxury shops in the world (Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Guerlain...) Coup de coeur: the Lancel shop with its big shopwindows and a special section dedicated to Brigitte Bardot. By Silver P. Falchi / http://www.flickr.com/photos/patfalchi/5560831162
