A Few Parisians: Quais de Seine (For Sale)

Untapped Cities (untappedcities) — Thu, 16 May 2013 06:32:06 -0700

Wearing sunglasses can be a militant act. Seriously. Especially when spring is slow to set in and Paris is too cold and grey in May. As soon as the first rays of sun come out, Parisians proudly wear their shades, as a challenge to God and to the weatherman. France is a country of rebels- never forget it, and nobody will prevent us from being in summer if we have decided so! Sunglasses then besiege still frozen café terraces and scatter into the Métro corridors - where they’re absolutely useless. They blossom almost everywhere. Some even flee to the banks of the Seine, to have the illusion of being at the seaside. And when they find themselves near the Pont de Grenelle, facing the Ile des Cygnes with its miniature Statue of Liberty, they can even dream that they are in New York City.

A Few Parisians: Jardin des Tuileries (For Sale)

Untapped Cities (untappedcities) — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:22:40 -0700

Spring has sprung, which means Parisians prowl the Jardin des Tuileries anxiously searching for a lawn chair, ready to pounce at the slightest movement. Read more here: http://untappedcities.com/paris/2013/04/17/a-few-parisians-jardin-des-tuileries/

A Few Parisians: Beaubourg by David Cessac (For Sale)

Untapped Cities (untappedcities) — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:34:14 -0700

What does a Parisian look like? That's a good question. The Parisian woman is perhaps easier to imagine than her male counterpart: an elegant and independent character somewhere between Catherine Deneuve and Joan of Arc, perhaps running along the waterfront to join her lover, or to buy a bottle of wine just before the shop closes, leaving the subtle scent of Chanel No. 5 in her wake... against an essential backdrop of accordion music of course! She is one of those fleeting, subliminal, fantasized images just waiting to be drawn from our memory banks. In this sense, the Parisienne belongs to our collective consciousness, constantly reconstructed by each individual each time she is imagined. But what about the Parisian man? What is he like, and where can we find him? Perhaps in Beaubourg, near the Centre Pompidou, in the studios of fashion designer Barnabé Hardy*, who has devoted his last nine collections to designing, defining and re-inventing the spirit of the French male, through hallmark items such as the leather jacket. Barnabé Hardy’s Parisian is primarily urban. A character who walks the city in his leather shell, protected (almost) from head to toe by his padded or lined jacket and his removable collar. This modern suit of armour can withstand anything... even other Parisians!

A Few Parisians by David Cessac: Quai Branly (For Sale)

Untapped Cities (untappedcities) — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 06:37:21 -0800

On a Wednesday afternoon, the Quai Branly can provide a place for quiet contemplation. The Eiffel Tower is not so far away, just like the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, or the Grand and Petit Palais. Everything is so close… And on the « Quai » itself, which literally means the banks of the Seine, there’s the Musée du Quai Branly, where children gather with their moms or nannies on this special day (there’s no school on Wednesdays in France!).

A Few Parisians: Palais Royal by David Cessac (For Sale)

Untapped Cities (untappedcities) — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:41:39 -0800

If you live in Paris, you might know of the 'Colonnes de Buren' (Buren's Columns) without really knowing them. They are part of our urban landscape. You might not give them a second glance as you rush to Jardins du Palais Royal or to a play at the Comédie Française.

Snowpunks by Kat Mills (For Sale)

Untapped Cities (untappedcities) — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:35:49 -0800

What happens to grungy punk dudes when it's too chilly for ripped-up denim vests and threadbare Black Flag shirts? They put on fur hats and oversized military coats, that's what. Punks are a practical breed-there is a smart way to rebel and self-destruct!

A Few Parisians: Marché de Passy by David Cessac (For Sale)

Untapped Cities (untappedcities) — Tue, 01 Jan 2013 20:53:54 -0800

At Parisian markets, such as Le Marché de Passy, you can sometimes encounter grannies –or « mamies »- who resemble the Thinker by Rodin. They stroll in deep thought, soberly contemplating the night's menu with philosophical seriousness. They are usually accompanied by little trolleys, now quite fashionable with the younger crowd but still hideous.

A Study in Scarlet by Kat Mills (For Sale)

Untapped Cities (untappedcities) — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:55:05 -0800

All of my coats are black. Either I'm an intriguing enigma or I’m just boring. Either way, I can’t compete against the daring of those who wear red winter coats. It takes a certain dedication to standing out to slip on red wool on a grey winter's day.

Argyle Socks by Kat Mills (For Sale)

Untapped Cities (untappedcities) — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 11:07:49 -0800

While Halsey Street J stop won’t land you in the most fashionable area of Bushwick, sometimes the style choices of its inhabitants are pretty surprising. As the juxtaposition of the bright argyle and restrained black indicates, style knows no neighborhood.
