With Paris fashion week beginning to wind down, the editors and buyers who’ve made the four-city circuit have a little time to relax before heading home. We checked in with Net-a-Porter’s Natalie Massenet, Holli Rogers, Claudia Plant, and Kate Blythe for a few of their favorites:
Le Café de l’Homme at the Musée de l’Homme has amazing views of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. But those two aren’t the only sites to see—the museum is also home to the Lanvin showroom. We always try to stop by for lunch before or after our appointment.
Les Archives de la Presse (pictured) is an amazing vintage magazine shop in the chic Marais. Every fashion magazine under the sun since the beginning of time is in here. It’s an amazing research and inspiration resource—I’m a little sorry to reveal it.
Kinugawa is our favorite Japanese restaurant. We always come for shabu-shabu, though that’s usually early in the week, while we’re still playing by the eat-right rules—by the end, we’ve collapsed into Ferdi (32 Rue du Mont Thabor) for the best cheeseburger in Paris.
On the way home, you’ve got to hit Reciproque for secondhand couture and Serge Lutens for perfume. Divine. And it wouldn’t be Paris fashion week without a drink or a snack at one of the classics—Hôtel Costes, L’Avenue, and the bar at Le Meurice.
