Even though I love attending the runway shows each season, my main mission in Paris is to focus on my showroom appointments. This is where I carefully select next season's must have pieces… BALENCIAGA Style selections at Balenciaga. Inside the Balenciaga showroom – you can spot many of the coats and stand-out pieces from the runway show.. Next season the Paper A4 bag will be available in suede for the first time. Jewellery selections at Balenciaga – the Balenciaga"knot" is the new "bow" for next season's accessories and will come in both gold & silver. Love the silver stud version of the new Balenciaga wedge Arena sandals… The Balenciaga showroom… CARVEN Leopard print featured heavily at Carven this season & these are some of my selections in the showroom. CHLOE My first season buying Chloe runway was exciting – expect to see these styles and prints next season.   A snap of me inside the showroom with a key print from the runway collection. Beautiful pieces inside the Chloe showroom… Some shots of the bags options…
