You have already met dress designer Alexis here. But today I thought you'd enjoy seeing a few more in his collection. His evening dresses remind me of a wedding cake. Dreamy!!

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

I hope you have plenty more of these photos as the lighting is exquisite. How nice that you were able to get the detail of this designer's creation in that second photo.
Enjoy your day and remember that a rainy day in Paris beats any kind of day in B'ham...
Bises,
G
Makes me want to say "Oui!" to Big Cheese all over again to have an excuse to wear theses frocks!

I agree, the lighting is fantastic. How did you meet Alexis? Have you gone to the Monet exhibit yet? I jumped and bought plane tickets last night for the very last weekend. Two nights in Paris, for Monet.
Gorgeous!
"Taille fine" look into your dictionary Virginia. lol
I'll add the word élégant. It's probably best to enjoy the photos without knowing the price.
Bonne journée!
Quelle robe de mariée fantastique! Love the detail, V, and trust that you are having a wonderful time.
I'm trying to imagine wearing this. I can't, it's too fine.
Bonjour from Aix en Provence!
Lovely! Both of these images have such delicious light. Bravo!
Beautiful! Wouldn't it be fun to wear this little number?
I agree it would be fun to wear one of these frocks....but where????? HA
I met Alexis last June when I wandered into his shop, elated that it was finally open when I was in the neighborhood.
Obivously, I don't know much about designer clothing for women...is he famous?
Gorgeous!!!
Thirty years ago I could have worn these with aplomb!!! Of course, then I couldn't afford them...now I probably still can't afford them and I certainly couldn't get in them!!!
