Curator’s statement
For years, Paris was a place I visited twice a year for fashion week, going between runway shows, showroom appointments and late-night dinners. It was fast, fabulous and filled with so many cool experiences. But nothing prepared me for the magic of rediscovering the city through my daughter’s eyes. Wandering around the city together, showing her the secret corners I’ve loved for years and watching her fall in love with the city in her own way — it’s been a whole new kind of Parisian experience.
Paris is made for mother-daughter trips. Mornings start with pastries and people watching, and afternoons are for shopping and museum-hopping. Whether you're digging through vintage racks in the Marais, getting lost in the gardens of Versailles or just strolling along the Seine, Paris has a way of making every moment feel special. It’s the perfect place to explore, indulge and just be together.
