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.

Even though we hail from the heartland of great shopping, we love to root out the very best retail stars every city has to offer. Here in Miami, we found a bunch, but three really topped our list for PARISIENNE perfection.
1. The Webster, 1220 Collins Avenue; www.thewebstermiami.com
Housed in a gorgeous Art Deco building built in 1939, The Webster’s three floors of truly PARISIENNE fashion—Lanvin and Yves Saint Laurent to drop a few names—could keep any ardent shopper satiated. If there’s any room on your card upon departure, pop into Caviar Kaspia downstairs for a stiff cocktail to soothe all that buyer’s remorse.
