Bi-annually, fashionistas descend upon Paris, the reigning capital of fashion, for the Prêt-à-Porter (Ready to Wear) Fashion Week.  The fall fashion conference usually runs in the 1st week of September and will run this year from Saturday, September 3 through Tuesday, September 6.  It will be the perfect opportunity for lovers of all things beautiful to spend some sunny days in Paris.

Prêt-à-Porter brings together 1500 designers from 45 countries in order to exhibit the beautiful, the innovative, the unique, the whimsical, the cutting-edge, and above all the chic in clothing, accessories and jewelry.  Fall’s ready-to-wear show will reveal the fashions that we will all be wearing next spring and summer.

Stroll through the exhibitors’ booths and you will see the merging of beauty and function—the heart of fashion design. Each designer brings his own flair to the age-old question of what to wear, and Prêt-à-Porter Paris gives designers an opportunity to confer with artists of all stripes to make sure the answer to that question is both gorgeous and intriguing.

The highlight of Prêt-à-Porter is, of course, seeing the designs modeled on the catwalk.
In addition to getting a chance to people-watch—not only will you see fashion models whose faces you may already know, but Prèt-à-Porter is also a favorite destination for movie stars and celebrities from every field—you will also see the clothes that will shape the haute monde’s style before it appears in any stores.
