FW23 Retailer Shows - Paris, New York (& LA-ish)

[Alex]

We had to come in from different directions, I was on holiday with Kira in the Dolomites prior to coming out here, so drove down to Venice and hopped on a plane to Paris yesterday afternoon.

Steve and Bailey flew in from Heathrow with our samples and luckily we all managed to get in despite the national strike action.

Packed up and ready to leave our hotel in the Dolomites.

I won't derail this thread by posting too much about that, but I think it could have been the best hotel I have ever stayed at. It is eyewateringly expensive, definitely not in mine and Kira's budget, but through her work for http://slh.com/ she gets some free nights to use at any of their hotels every time she completes a photoshoot, so we managed to scrape in a tower suite with breakfast and dinner included for nothing. Would highly recommend to anyone who does have the budget for a special couples get away. Any of you that follow me on IG will have seen some of the other pics from there already.

First leg of the journey

Venice - Paris with some legroom, thankfully

AirTags ease some of the anxiety on these multi-city, quick turn around trips

[Steve]

on our way to the apartment, in the opposite direction to the protest march! (which was fun pulling along the bags of samples)

[Bailey]

The motorbike nerd in me had to take a photo of the Holy Trinity; Triumph, Harley Davidson and the Lampost.

Which retailers are you working with in Paris ?

[Alex]

None, but our shops from all of Europe come to see us in one city twice a year, this season we chose Paris fashion week to show at

[goosehd]

Absolutely loving all of these pictures!!!  …except for the blurred out one in the flat  ;). I think you have a smudge on the lens…

[Alex]

Is this better, @goosehd ?

[goosehd]

much better…lovely flat 

[goosehd]

…and the view from your room in the Dolomites is unbelievable.

Good luck and have a great time in Paris!!

those samples must be the new "foggy denim" Haraki has been working on.

@Alex The beauty of the places you all get to travel can't be over stated. If you came to Minnesota, I would have to take you to North Minneapolis to get shot at just to provide any feeling of excitement.

[Kasi]

I hope someone leaks the information out.

Alex good like Giles keeping secrets of what’s coming out
