Best things to do: Paris Fashion Week

Fashion Week happens all over Paris, and many places are only listed to the ones privately invited, so you won’t even know where all the shows are beforehand. But you can see the online schedule here (in French, but you can see the locations).
If you’re not attending, but happen to be in Paris at the end of September beginning of October there is tons to do! Make sure to see our monthly city guide of the best of Paris; with everything from places to eat, artwork to see, cocktail bars to try and even things to do with kids.
But for the purpose of StreetStyle Fashion photos which in recent years have become even more interesting than the catwalk (which explains why brands now gladly give away and pay for people to wear their clothes and accessories during PFW, it’s basically free publicity/advertising) any street corner could be a gem. But all these places are favorites of my fashionable friends visiting for the shows street-style or for the showroom representations.
We’ve rounded up a list of things to do outside of the fashion week – whether this is your first time to Paris(hotels to stay) to new or old (local favorites) to discover.
