We’re live at the Paris Fashion Week!

Listen to article

Yeah, I’m also surprised that we’ve been invited to attend and cover the Paris Fashion Week but we we’re here since yesterday to make some preparations and meet other top fashion bloggers from all over the world for the prestigious Paris Fashion week.

This is my first time to visit Paris, France and I’m lucky to be invited by one of the biggest brands in the fashion industry to be part of this event.

The official event is still tomorrow so we had all day today for a thorough tour of the city. We’ve managed to check out the Louvre Museum, take a sneak peek at the Eiffel Tower (the lines were too long to get up to the top) and a whole lot more.

Here’s a little video we created as a teaser to the main event tomorrow. It’s mostly from the sites we visited today.

Here are some photos of the beautiful Paris taken during our city tour. Perhaps the organizers wanted to inspire us before the main event tomorrow.

The folks from The Sartorialist, Hype Beast, Fashionista, Fashion Gone Rouge and Stylelist are all here. This is actually the first time I met them and they were all a bit surprised to learn that I am a tech blogger and not a fashion blogger like them (the organizers tell me it’s a surprise and they invited the guys from Engadget and Gizmodo but did not send a rep).

In any case, I’ll try my best to bring you the best coverage I can. This is not as big as the CES, but it’s like the CES of the fashion world so there’s your tech angle.

Disclosure: This trip was not sponsored by any fashion or tech brand. I paid for my own trip to Paris, France. This is just a little bit of vacation. Happy April Fools!
