Overview
Get a behind-the-scenes look at Paris through the community of artisans making their mark on the city. Every day, more and more shops and studios are opening in Paris's winding, charming streets and alleys. Their owners are part of a new wave of entrepreneurial craftsmanship that's as exciting as it is varied and interconnected. This behind-the-scenes guide to that creative community introduces you to thirty-five individuals who are making their mark on the city. It takes you inside their businesses to show you how they craft, market, and sell their wares, and it provides an inside look at how these communities thrive and grow. In beautifully illustrated spreads, you'll get to know each maker--their tools, practices, passions, histories, inspirations, and work environments. Makers include fashion designer Isabel Marant, the baker Apollonia Poil ne, whose sourdough loaves are the toast of the city, and Jeanne Signoles, maker of elegant tote bags. From there we meet the founders of the Adieu shoe line, Benjamin Caron and Isabelle Guedon; ice cream savant Muriel Delpuech; Etienne de Swardt, perfumer extraordinaire and enfant terrible; mixologist Hyacinthe Lesco t; lingerie designer Yasmine Eslami; and a host of chocolatiers, hoteliers, and coffee roasters--who have tapped into their city's hunger for quality, style, and substance. Whether you're planning a trip to Paris, looking for inspiration, or just wondering what's hot in the City of Lights, this thrilling tour will leave you inspired, satisfied . . . and hungry for more.
