Eye swide shot: Farewell fashion week
We're not exactly sure where fashionistas head off to when the final catwalk curtains go down. St.Tropez? St.Bart's? Or perhaps Shoreditch & Brooklyn. As they pack their designer cases we'd like to pay tribute to the fun sights they left behind.
What happens during fashion week - stays at fashion week, or so it was until Swide got it's cheeky paws on our contributor, Melanie Crétè's pictures.
Direct from Paris' menswear fashion week - we bring you the sights we'll miss, the looks we won't see anymore in our local coffee shop and the parties we may never see again - that it until September of course.
Happy summer dear fashionistas!

Life outside the runway/edgy location.
After sitting on front-row benches for the best part of a month, how does one re-adapt to a "chair"?
Men in skirts. Sir, we salute you.
Ah, the perennial fashion week sight. Tuesday night, and fashion's finest queuing for their daily dose of gin/vodka/hard liquor.
During fashion week - money of course doesn't exist. Transport is free (driver), hotels are paid for (thank-you publisher), dinners & drinks taken care of (thank-you P.R's) - even a night out can be cleverly covered with plastic tokens.
'Till we meet again dear fashionistas - it's been a pleasure.
