Paris day 1

After a way to early flight and checking in to the hotel Mama Shelter in the 20th district of Paris, a very affordable hotel btw, it was time to get to work. Since we are always a bit optimistic when we schedule Paris, the morning started with a canceled meeting followed by a short RRL-hunt in the Ralph Lauren shop and a quick stop at Colette. First meeting, Maison Martin Margiela where we looked at all the collections (1, 4, 10, 14, 11, 22) Men, women, accessories and shoes in that order. 5 hours later we realized that the Dries Van Noten-show, that we planned to attend started in about 4 minutes. 10 minutes too late there was still a long cue outside Bourse, where the show was held. Rain, thunder and a very beautiful location as well as collection. Now home with the metro, quick dinner, TV, sleep. Long day tomorrow.
