Paris Trip-Napoleon III Apartments

Napoleon III Apartment was a part of Louvre. that was the favourite part which i liked because i liked the luxury French style decorations and furnitires. because i felt it's very traditional and rommatic. Here were some photos of that.

 

 

 

 

Paris Trip-Premier Vision

Premier Vision was a great place, which was a fashion company exhibition. there were a lot of different types of companies which offered a variety of fashion stuffs such as leathers, fur, Yarns, fabrics, colors, accessories(botton, laces.....), latest technology that relevant to fashion. But i thought this was more useful for buyers and fashion designers to visit because they could pick up whatever materials they want and used in the brands or fashion design collections.
