Forget the Eiffel Tower: This Guide Reveals Paris’ Hidden APC Outlet Store and Rick Owens’ Secret Hangouts
Ever wonder where Rick Owens shops for socks, or where the staff of Colette hides away to work out? Go Go Paris, a fashion insider’s guide to the City of Lights, wants to tell you the city’s best secrets.
Started by transnational hipster and journalist Kate van den Boogert, the series of pamphlets aims to shed light on another, more relevant side of the city to people who are sick of hearing about the Eiffel Tower and the Mona Lisa.

Well, you’ll be happy to hear that I’m impressed with Go Go. An example of the goodness: In the latest issue, Guillaume Henry, new artistic director of Carven, reveals that he likes to rummage through vintage books in a tiny bookstore on the rue de Rivoli, and his favorite hangout is a taxidermy haunt on the Left Bank.

I noticed it a) because it’s simple, but girly and b) because it’s kind of fancy, but at a Marc by Marc Jacobs price point. If I’d been smart I’d have clicked on the “About Carven” tab, Read more →
