Paris

No time to recap on all the incredible things we've been able to do, which is okay because i don't think anyone will believe me when i tell them anyway.. but while i have a few minutes ill recap about yesterday.

we were able to go into the original workrooms of the YSL couture house, and got to go into the temp controlled closets that house all 5,000 pieces that the YSL foundation has been able to buy back from former couture owners. it was so unreal to see these jackets rolled out.. made completely from beads and to know that it took 500 hours to make them, and each one costs about 100grand. It was a dream to be there..

on the way to the YSL foundation we had all split up to grab lunch. we had a strict meeting time because we had an appointment and couldnt be late. One of the groups got held up at the restaurant.. lets just say that the french like to take their time when they eat.. so the girls in that group ended up being about 10 minutes late. once they showed up we started to make our way.. as we were turning around a corner we noticed there was an area blocked off with red and white tape, and there were a lot of policemen guarding the space. we were standing right next to one (of very few)tall buildings in Paris.. and slowly one by one, we noticed the silver sheet that lay over the man who had jumped from the building, not only did we notice that, but we also saw well..lets just say it was a sight that will probably never leave my head. it left everyone of us in shock, and created a very somber mood for the rest of the day. but this is just one example of MANY in life that shows things really happen for a reason, aka. if we had been on time.. what would we have seen then?


today we got to meet the milliner for Jean Paul Gaultier, it was sooooo awesome to talk to him, and see the pictures he had to share.

Well its about 9 here and i have to work on my collection.. its the main project weve had since weve been here.. thankfully i got paired up with my roommate. =)
