Palais Royal: Paris' New Shopping Mecca

Stella McCartney at Palais Royal
Palais Royal is not big, but some of the capital's chicest names are squashed into its few square meters, making it a buzzing and exquisite address for brands who prize discrete and attentive service. No where else can you find the perfect vintage little black dress, a hip-hugging pair of jeans, a pair of pink, limited edition sunglasses and have your initials engraved on your own bottle of scintillating perfume under one roof, followed by a stroll through one of Paris' most beautiful gardens.

And yet, despite its central location, the shopping arcade's hidden entrance doors, exclusive gallery spaces and leisure garden appeal, make it a quiet refuge that feels like a well-kept secret. We've been keeping a keen eye on Palais Royal as it attracts select luxury brands into its limited space, while steadily building a loyal and growing number of chic city shoppers. The shopping haven even recently welcomed Stella McCartney's first Paris store and Mary Beyer's made-to-measure glove boutique.

What Sells During An Economic Downturn

As recession fears grow stronger by the day, there's no question that the fashion world is feeling the vertigo of the stock market roller coaster. Last week alone, Women's Wear Daily reported that US retailers are cutting orders by an average of 10-15% due to the economic climate, while it was announced that consumer confidence reached an all-time low in October. Given these factors, it would be easy to think the nation has put its credit cards on lockdown.  read more »

Constricted Times

Martin Margiela s/s '09
We've spotted an interesting trend in key spring/summer '09 runway collections: mummy chic. (That's "mummy," as in an embalmed body bound in bandages.) While there's ruching, draping, and wrapping involved, this trend is not to be confused with the Grecian or gladiator movement. It reaches further back in history, but pushes fashion into new territories with a modernist spin.

SHOPPING: A look from Miss Crabb

After a frenzied Air New Zealand Fashion Week, I was desperate for my chosen forms of relaxation: shopping and pigging out. The lovely and amazing Carlee, who was my VIP host for the event, managed to coax me out of my ‘Heavenly Bed’ at the Westin Hotel (no, really, that’s what it’s called) to tour Ponsonby Road, a quaint, yet hip stretch of shops, bars and restaurants. My highlights are as follows – although, for the ultimate post-show stress relief, you could always make like another journalist I met and bungee jump off the Sky Tower.  read more »

Turned Out Style Report

Magazine Montage — Get That Girl Some Pants

With so many wonderful pairs of pants to choose from this season, it's pretty exciting picking which ones to buy. We're thinking a little loose on top tapering perfectly above the ankle; fitted, long and lean; or over washed, soft and skinny denim. Here, we find miss Rubik a few options to work with her Ralph Lauren giant plaid jacket.

Clockwise from top right:

A: Cardigan, Ralph Lauren Collection; Tie Dye Jean, Dsquared²

B: Sweatshirt, Eric Bompard; Jeans, American Apparel; Boots, Rick Owens; Satchel YSL 'Besace'

C: Pants, Jil Sander  read more »
