Experience PARISIENNE

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.

A Bit of Paris in Brooklyn, New York | SunHee Grinnell from Vanity Fair

arc

I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn. And a small part of reminds me of Paris, France. If you look down Eastern Parkway, the landscape and its architecture resemble Parisian scenery (fittingly so, as it was modeled after a classic Parisian Boulevard). From the tree-lined greenery dividing the sidewalk from car traffic to the short storied buildings, Park Slope has many Parisian sensibilities. Grand Army Plaza in particular is definitely our mini version of Paris’s monumental Arc de Triomphe. In 1867 designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux conceived Brooklyn’s version of the famous Parisian Arc, intended to mark a passerby’s grand entrance into Prospect Park.
