PRÊT À PORTER PARIS, "The Heart of Fashion"

Autumn-winter 09/10

 

 

Every season, PRÊT À PORTER PARIS®, "the heart of fashion", innovates, invents and goes ever further for its fashion labels and its visitors. With a fashion offering of 1500 labels, PRÊT À PORTER PARIS® has added a Fashion Arts Culture circuit to decrypt the trends, express the must-haves of the season, and explain the desires and aspirations of tomorrow.
