You always hear about "haute couture," but what is it? Well, first of all, you may be shocked (like we were) to find out it's not pronounced "hawtt couture," thought that would have been hot indeed. No, in that characteristically French way of eliding whole halves of words, it's pronounced "o". Nowadays they probably could get away with just spelling it "o," because -- let's face it my friends -- it would save some typing.  
Aanyway, "haute" means "high," and it used to be the only kind of couture that existed. Then some genius decided maybe regular people might like to look nice, too, so regrettably they started making nice clothes for us, too. "Regrettably" because now we have to go out and spend money on cool-looking watches and pants and belt buckles, whereas back in the day we could all wear potato sacks, and that was fine for everyone except the Queen of England, King of France, Minister of Portugal, Regent of Spain and whatnot. And boy we saved a lot of money that we could spend on truly important things, like gruel. Why must things change??

There are nice hotels on the Left Bank, Right Bank, in the 7th district (they call them "arrondissements," even though "district" would be shorter to write), Latin Quarter, and other places more or less. You may want tickets to the Louvre, though you probably shouldn't waste your time in Paris in line. Really Paris is best for food and time wasting, like sitting at a sidewalk cafe, going into boutiques on the Avenue Montaigne pretending you can afford something, sitting for long periods on a park bench, which is only acceptable in Paris, and looking for antiques, fashionable designer clothing and giant sunglasses, shopping at BHV or the farmer's market or buying gourmet gifts at Fauchon, and eating a bunch of stuff you'd be killed for by your friends back home. You may also want fancy cheeses and wine. Okay, we admit we like Paris, even if it is small, old and sort of dirty in places. It just works, darn it. Oh, and dear Parisians: ban spray paint, citywide. Seriously.

Fashion Week begins with New York, then goes to London, Milan, Paris, Los Angeles then Tokyo. We hope to add to this information with events and a full calendar as they develop. Note: For future seasons we use New York dates (which are already decided) to create a "most likely" estimate based on past history. This is a fancy way of saying the other cities tend to follow one another. W00t.
Egregious errata?
