PARIS FASHION WEEK COMES TO CARLTON

Paris Fashion Week is the ultimate fashion event of the year and we have extended the celebrations and brough French flair to our corner of Carlton with a BA&SH Paris store takeover!

Showcasing the red white and blue flag, we have transformed into a dedicated venue for the ultimate Frenchy icons - BA&SH.

There is so much to love and explore with this vast collection, curated by our fashion director Sian. Outerwear takes centre stage as the season dictates layers and our many moods require multiple expressions. 

From city sharp blazers to mountain-core fluffy revesible jackets - but always accessorised with excellence to keep it on the French-girl vibe. Think pointed heeled ankle bootsand logo hardware on chic small bags. 

Clutching macaroons and sipping coffee while delighting in details is par for the course as we devote the weekend to all things BA&SH. Discussions about buttons are totally legit. What to look out for? We love the elevation of khakis with ankle ties and a bomber in high shine with ridiculous street cred...

French style is part of the BA&SH and rpmmelbourne fashion DNA. But what, you may ask, exactly is French girl style?

What are French Fashion Essentials?

French fashion essentials are timeless pieces that form the foundation of a chic and sophisticated wardrobe. Think classic silhouettes, high-quality fabrics, and effortless elegance. (Add a touch of rock-'n'roll and lived in hair and your on the right side of the Siene.)

Focus on quality over quantity. Invest in key pieces such as a tailored blazer, a little black dress, an immaculate trench, perfectly fitting jeans. Embrace a neutral color palette with pops of colour. Disciplined classics but add sass - less make-up but a strong lip. Polished clothes but a carefree demeanour - roll up the sleeves of your blazer, ditch the blowdry for dry shampoo. Think of unexpected elements - high and low is a fool proof combo! Heeled boots with cargos, a Chanel-inspired jacket with jeans, a tailored blazer accessorised with a simple basket bag.

Take this outfit we styled straight from the window on our dear friend Kate - tres chic n'est-ce pas?
