About this activity

This walking tour is designed for anyone who wants to look at Paris — and fashion — with different eyes. Whether you are passionate about fashion, interested in culture and history, or simply curious about what happens behind the glamorous façades of Paris's most famous fashion houses, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of the fascinating system that makes Paris the world's fashion capital. It's a journey into the world of fashion. Rather than simply presenting facts that can easily be found online, the tour offers a deeper insight into how fashion actually works: fashion houses and their identities, designers and their codes, fashion shows as reflections of culture, and boutiques and window displays as powerful communication tools. Walking through the elegant streets of the Golden Triangle we will connect the history of couture with the fashion world of today, looking at fashion not simply as clothing, but as a reflection of culture, society, art, business and identity.
