The latest hobby of many fashion designers is to ask plus-sized models to introduce their clothes at a fashion show. This time Paris Fashion Week’s guests were surprised to see Beth Ditto appearing at the catwalk in tight dresses and costumes created by grand couturier Jean Paul Gaultier. Unlike the usual 'plus-sized models' - who are size 14 or 16 - Beth is around a size 28.
According to Gaultier, Paris Fashion Week 2010 demonstrates the contrast difference between the worlds of XXL and XXS.
These retro photos of Paris are beautiful and amazing. They were taken in the beginning of the 20th century. They were black and white at first. But color was added to them later on.
Paris subway stations amaze metro passengers by a furniture collection and interiors they can view and even try out while waiting for the train. This unusual promotion will last till March 24. Till then all people can check out the new IKEA products and experience a new subway “interior” with comfortable atmosphere.
The Tours Aillaud (also known as Tours Nuage) is a group of residential buildings located in Nanterre, in the inner suburbs of Paris, France.
They were built in 1977 at the outskirts of La Défense business district.
I don’t know, maybe for the 70’s it was beautiful, but as for me they are awful from esthetic point of view. Though, I admit this is a very interesting architectural project.
Great pictures from Alexandre Duret-Lutz.

We posted a video with Garibaldi yesterday, now we have a story. The same video is below the pictures.
Garibaldi is a military stallion during a routine patrol guarding President Nicolas Sarkozy at the Elysee Palace, shook off his Republican Guard rider and ran away. A LTC Rousseau said that when a horse panics, “it whether stays among the other horses that near it or takes off to its stables”. Garibaldi seemed to choose the second option. He ran on Paris roads along the Seine and was caught 5 kilometers later.
Robert Doisneau, one of France's most popular and prolific reportage photographers, is known for his modest, playful, and ironic images of amusing juxtapositions, mingling social classes, and eccentrics in contemporary Paris streets and cafes.
Among his most recognizable work is ‘Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville’ (Kiss by the Hôtel de Ville)
Yesterday we posted an article with some of his photos. I put some time to find another of his works and made a selection of his best photos as for me.
