Code red!


After yesterday's lady in red here is the lady on a red background! And the background in question belongs to Uniqlo, a Japonese clothing company, similar to H&M or Zara. They opened their second store near the Galerie Lafayette in October 2009 and that is precisely from the 1st floor of one of their outlet (the Lafayette Maison one) that I took this photo. I just loved the game of shadows that was offered to my eyes - and to my camera lense!

  3. We have Uniqlo here in NYC as well, and I find it more similar to the Gap in quality (the clothes are very well made and classically casual) while being very reasonably priced.

  4. Very interesting shot...really interesting; however if it is anything like the Gap as Katie K said...I'll take a pass.

  5. The shot is great, it has a "science fiction" quality, i think!

  6. I remember when the new store across from the Opera Garnier first opened...the lines of people waiting to enter wrapped around the block. Jil Sander's line of cashmere, wool & leather goods are very popular. What a wonderful photo, Eric! Thank you kindly.

  7. Great effect Eric. Very well spotted! I'll try to remember to visit, if I can remember the name. Those Japanese - I wonder how they came up with that one. Probably cost millions though.

  8. The mention of Zara and GAP reminded of the time 5 or 6 years ago when my suitcase got lost at CDG.
    I bought some replacement clothes at both on Rue de Rivoli as I didn't think the insurance company would stump up for a couple of Armani suits!

    They could have called it JAP.

  9. Very seductive. You draw us right in with this and ask us to stop and study a moment.

  10. In a red mood, Eric? This is really visually stunning. My fashion "sense" is really not much for the Gap, but I would check it out. Shopping is always fun!

  12. F. Y. I. Tout Le Monde: the name comes from an amalgam of Unique Clothing....Uniqlo!

  13. Lovely! I wish there were 8,481 benches in my town, but then again, unfortunately my town is not a walking/shmoozing/flaneur kind of town. Right now, my area of town is begging for more sidewalks. Rats!
