It doesn’t take much to get me daydreaming about Paris – any mention of croissants, arrondissements, and the metro gets me buzzing. Not sure when my next trip will be, but I wish I was there RIGHT NOW to check out the new exhibit at Les Arts Décoratifs, Madeleine Vionnet, puriste de la mode. A plane ticket to Paris might be worth seeing over 130 of the pioneering couturier’s remarkable works that transformed fashion in the early 20th century (hello bias cut!). I might not be able to make it, so to all you lucky travelers, let me know how fabulous all the dresses are in real life!
