Paris recap – Yup, yup, it’s this time of the year again. Traveling, full days, short nights, brands, collections, budgets, maps, shows, trying to get a cap (!!)… but it’s also always like a big get-together. A reunion. Basically the whole market is there. You see all the brands, the people behind the brands, your friends, your “competitors”, the people you normally only read or write about and you meet a whole lot of different interesting people.
Shaking hands everywhere, smiling… but if you’re honest you always wonder: “I wonder how much money they make?”, “Which brand are they going for?”, “What kind of quantities do they order?”, “How the fuck do they survive?”, “Uuh, I heard it’s not going too well” or “Damn, they’re selling like crazy!”.
Or when it comes to brands: “Damn, that’s expensive!”, “Pff, really?” or (I know you know that one) “Shit, that’s ugly”.
Hahaha… love it. Love seeing everybody in Paris again, hanging, dining, partying, exchanging knowledge and experience. That’s what it’s all about. And in the end, if you break it all down, it’s a peoples business. And I’m happy to run along.
@Acne: Their set-up is really impressive. Professional from top to toe!
