Paris Fashion Weak
We're all over Paris fashion week at the moment, reporting live from Menswear Autumn/Winter '008 if you're interested. The following information should not be considered as the opinion of Chimpomatic.com, but trousers that are tailored a little short (or 'halfmast' as we would say in the old days) seem to be in and waistcoats seem to be fairly prolific - in an English gentleman style tweed for example.
Obviously, we're more interested in the food, the booze and the parties - all of which have been in abundant supply. The oysters and rumpsteak of La Coupole hit the spot and we snagged Jean Paul Satre's and Simone de Beauvoir's favourite table.
The highlight of the trip however has to be the Viking themed restuarant Nos Ancetre Les Gaulois (Our Ancestors, The Gauls), which provided an all-you-can-eat buffet of smoked sausage, followed by a huge basket of raw veg and a slab of steak - all washed down with a help yourself barrel of house red. Boom.
If that wasn't enough, cabaret was provided by a Welsh ex-pat with a guitar. Check surveillance for a video of Stairway To Heaven.
The dude on the bottom right managed to sleep right through a Destiny's Child/Ed Rush mash up, not to mention the 'art' installation playing on the screens.
