Happy Wednesday, folks!
To say life has been busy would be an understatement!
These past few days have seen me hosting brunches for Ciroc, filming ‘mercials for Colgate Optic White (I’m a member of their Designer Smile Squad!), twirling on Black History specials for BET, and participating in tapings for Upscale Magazine/Centric’s 16 Black Women to Watch in 2016 (!). But before all of that, I was invited to Paris by the Ministry of Tourism and the Promosalons trade shows to discover another side of the French fashion industry.
I, along with a contingent of American, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese journalists and digital influencers were welcomed to the city of style and light to tour trade shows like Who’s Next, Bijorhca, and Maison et Objet. Each promosalons showcases thousands of burgeoning designers in lingerie, home, fashion, accessories, jewelry, and more.
While our first few days were filled to the gills with trade shows, we took a luxurious turn on day 3, touring the ateliers of historic French houses like Hermes, jewelry powerhouse Mellerio dits Meller, and chandelier company DeLisle.
While I’m moreso accustomed to twirling in Paris for Fashion Week, it was certainly cool to go behind the scenes a bit and see how France nurtures both their emerging designers and their heritage brands.
It was fabulous and I can’t wait to go back for Paris Fashion Week in March.
