You have met Alexis several times here on this blog, as I've photographed his studio at Place des Vosges as often as I can find it open. Today another view of one of his gowns with the designer himself in the background. Alexis was gracious enough to allow me to stop in and photograph his creations on several occasions but remained a bit in the background. I think this photos illustrates that.

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.

A very light and poetic picture!
How special to be able to photo such beauty.
Helen
Tres belle. How nice that he will let you photograph his creations.
Sam
Oh this is so Parisian, it makes me so happy! Anita
Maybe the words, "remained in the background" is a bit misleading. Ignored me is more like it! :)

Gorgeous, V! I see that Alexis saves all the embellishments for his romantic gowns. A "uniform" of jeans and white T-shirt would definitely make it easy to get dressed every day
It seems he wants his work to speak for him.
This is Paris. C'est magnifique!
You have capture the ambiance of Paris in this shot. I would love to join you with my camera!
Lovely. I watched my daughter try on some wedding gowns in August but those pix won't find their way onto my blog.
Hi Virginia,
That is what I love so much about the French, le haute Couture, is amazing.
This gown, c'est magnifique, as is your wonderful photograph.
Have a lovely weekend
Hugs

There´s nothing Parisian about M. Le Couturier´s iconic white T-shirt and Lee 101 jeans, immortalized by James Dean.
I´m sure he was not ignoring you, Madame. How could he?
In retail business, it is wise to let the costumer think one is not so eager for a sale.
That beautiful dress looks "vaporoso" enough for a debutante.
Beautiful post Mme. Virginia.
¡Mil gracias!

The black and white was a great choice for this. It makes the photo timeless.
