It&#8217;s no secret that Parisians have serious style
and the women south of the Seine are in a clique all on their own
where I stayed with friends in a chic apartment in the heart of St Germain des Pres on Le Rive Gauche

who was wearing a tiny spaghetti-strap romper beneath an ivory fringe kimono
cinched at the waist with a black leather wraparound belt
