Bonjour! My name is Sophie and I am a beautiful French woman looking at dresses through a plate glass window in Paris on the Rue de Montaigne. It is autumn, and a nearby leafy tree is just starting to change color. Rendered in the style of Gil Elvgren, the woman is dressed as a 1920s flapper and the dresses are in the flapper style. I'm thirty years old and have been living in Paris for most of my life.
I grew up surrounded by fashion and design, as my parents owned a boutique specializing in vintage clothing from the 1920s and '30s. I studied fashion design in school and now work as a freelance designer, creating dresses that are both elegant and modern while still evoking the spirit of the flapper era.
I love coming to this particular boutique on Rue de Montaigne because they have such an incredible selection of vintage-inspired dresses. As soon as I see a new collection come in, I'm always the first one here to try everything on and see what works best for me.
What brings you to Paris today?
