Celebrities Split: One day in Paris, paparazzi-style!A

Sometimes, the most impulsive decisions lead to the coolest moments. And so a few days before Paris Fashion Week opened its doors, I decided to hit Paris with my camera crew (yes yes, I’m being followed). We had no invites, no backstage passes, just a lot of enthusiasm and persistence.

The schedule was heavy: Up by 4.30am, taking the Thalys, so we could be at the doors of Chanel by 9H30. After Chanel, they arranged me a cosy lunch with Belgian fashion expert Veerle Windels @ Le Louvre. Then playing paparazzi at Valentino’s, to end the day with some die-hard beauty-shopping.

My plan was to shoot as many interesting people as possible. Famous, not famous, whatever. People who stand out. That’s what I wanted.

Now, the Chanel frontstage kinda disappointed me. I almost found myself at a funeral: So much people in black and grey, with big black glasses and a harsh facial expressions. I felt like shouting: ” Lighten up, people, it’s just fashion!”

Lots of people knock knock knockin’ on Chanel’s door.

At Valentino’s, on the other hand, the atmosphere was relaxed and people were colourful, but still (mostly) in a tight-kinda- way. It could have something to do with the weather, ’cause the sun was turning Paris into the perfect scene for an indian summer.

Now, to give you a better view on the things I’ve seen in these Parisian streets on a fashionable day, I split my pictures into 6 categories:
