Aime Inspiration FW09

Last March, Aime showed its Seasonless 09/10 and Holiday collection at LG Fashion Week in Toronto. The collection was inspired by my travels to Paris where one of my favourite things to do in the City of Lights was to eat!! Not only to taste the delicious delicacies, but the bistros, cafes, and markets had such a buzz where friends, families, and lovers would enjoy each other's company for hours on end. It reminded me how important face-to-face communication is during the current phenomenon of online social outlets (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). The Parisiennes have got it right - the lifestyle of loving and living life!
The idea of sharing and gaining knowledge is reminiscent of Post-war Paris where intellectuals would meet and ponder life's unanswered questions a la Sartre and de Beauvoir.

Going to Paris? Popular places include Cafe de Flore and Angelina's Tearoom, but also read NYT's list of new bistros.
