Too Many Photos

Due to uploading too many photos this month, blogspot won't let me upload anymore. So, until the end of June, there probably won't be a new blog post but I will keep trying every day.

Read the Fine Prints

Very different from yesterday, today was more of a low-key day. We began with a visit to the showroom of Lelievre, a textile company that specializes in both reproducing prints from over 200 years ago, as well as making new prints and including collaborations with designers such as Sonia Rykiel. The textiles were beautiful and one was the same textile used in Marie Antoinette private quarters (that unfortunately we were not permitted to see yesterday) Afterwards, we killed some time wandering the streets and snapping photos of street art and street style. After, we headed to a second textile showroom, Pierre Frey, who specializes in unique screen print textiles in fun patterns. Continuing with a playful theme, after Pierre Frey, I wandered the streets some more and stumbled upon the Igor Stravinsky fountain. While the fountain was not working at the time, the fun sculptures in bright colors and creative shapes were there for the eye to see.
