PARISIENNE is the essence of a woman who knows how to love and how to live. At the heart of YSL’s DNA is the empowerment of women, and true to this we believe that any woman, anywhere, can adopt the values of being a PARISIENNE. To celebrate the launch of PARISIENNE, and to encourage women to find their “inner PARISIENNE”, we have created www.ExperienceParisienne.com, where the essence of a woman and her PARISIENNE experience is shared with other women.
In this spirit, YSL is sending five renowned bloggers on a journey around the country to discover and reveal their very own PARISIENNE experiences in New York City, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Yves Saint Laurent has chosen an ensemble of women with passions for beauty, art, design, music, fashion and food to create a travel diary of their trip. Stay tuned here to read articles, see photos and follow the women on their journey.
Anna is the resident photographer of ExperienceParisienne.com. Her work has graced the pages of such magazines as Marie Claire, Lucky Magzine and Entertainment Weekly. She is a graduate of Art Center College of Design and was a selected winner of the Magenta Flash Forward competition in 2006 and PDN 30 in 2007.
PARISIENNE singer Keren Ann says, “In New York, you pay for the neighborhood; in Paris, you pay for the view.” True enough, but what about Los Angeles? Maybe it’s a little bit of both, I thought, when I spotted this panorama in super cute Silverlake. Breathtaking!
I love that Los Angeles street style is so laid back; in the beachy city, anything goes. But when I spotted this pretty girl on La Brea Ave, I realized that you can always exude that PARISIENNE style and femininity, even in a plaid workman’s shirt and a pair of Ray Bans. It’s all about confidence and attitude.
After a long day of travel, we finally land at the chic Standard Hotel for the beginning of our LA tour. And what’s a PARISIENNE girl to do? Straight to the Chateau Marmont for a Framboise Sauvage with my dearest friends.
