It’s springtime in Paris - the gardens of Paris are exploding in blatant reds, fuschia and yellow. And what do you see women wearing in this summer heatwave? Black and white with a dash of red.

Sixties graphics have finally settled in, right beside the eternal polka dot. Ballerina slippers continue to tread the streets of Paris. Today, being the hottest day yet, some women have traded in their black dresses and suits for frothy white. And the men in black with black shades to match are still abounding.

That’s why we like to go to the parks where mothers allow themselves the frivolity of dressing themselves and their daughters in sunbonnets and ever so pink dresses. The only place in Paris where you’re likely to encounter the color pink is in the playgrounds of Paris’s parks!
