Dary’s brings to realization the best of a Paris shopping experience—a wonderful, family-run, Ali Baba-ish cavern teeming with artists, actors, models, and jewelry lovers. You’ll need to take your time though, because the walls are filled with row upon row of antique jewels from every era, more modern secondhand jewelry, and drawer upon drawer of vintage one-of-a-kinds.

Anouschka has set up shop in her apartment (by appointment only, Monday to Saturday) and has rack upon rack of vintage clothing dating from the 1930s to the ’80s. It’s the perfect place to find a ’50s cocktail dress in mint condition or a mod jacket for him. A former model herself, she calls this a “designer laboratory,” and teams from top fashion houses often pop by looking for inspiration.

Goudemalion at Musée des Arts décoratifs

A retrospective exposition of the works of Jean-Paul Goude. This brilliant “image maker” was the man in the 80′s who made an icon of Grace Jones. He made Egoïste and Coco of Chanel hot. And who doesn’t remember his advertisements for Kodak, Citroën and Guerlain ! The exhibition shows photo’s, paintings, etc but also a “life” installation.

He calls his style “The French correction” with a lot of humor, a feeling for fashion and trendiness and not to forget his passion for exotic women.

Goudemalion until 18/03 at Musée des Arts Décoratifs, 107, Rue de Rivoli,

Orphée et Eurydice at Opéra Garnier

  • 2012

Orphée et Eurydice brings flesh and blood to Gluck’s score and creates a permanent dialogue between song and dance dividing each of the main roles in two. Beyond the mythological tale itself, the ballet evokes the fragility of the human condition and plunges into painful introspection. The choreography of Pina Baush made this ballet worldknown.

Starting 4th of February till 16th.

Opéra Garnier, at the corner of rue Scribe and rue Auber ,75009 Paris, M° Opéra
