Located between the Military academy and the Mound–Picquet in the 15th district of Paris, the Swiss Village is a space dedicated to art and antiquities. One finds there contemporary art, art déco and design like tapestries, sculptures, jewelry, paintings, weapons old and other objects without forgetting contemporary parts.
This weekend, for the first time, the medium of the mode mixed with that of art in this mythical space which is the Swiss Village since its creation at the end of the World Fair of 1900.
The World Fair of 1900 was most important that the hexagon knew with the appearance of the first especially open line of the subway of Paris for the exposure, various stations like the Gare de Lyon, the Station of Orsay or the Invalids, the construction of Small and the Large palace, the large wheel installed which occurred of Suffren as well as an enormous celestial sphere and the Swiss Village, house of Switzerland which was a reconstitution of a true Swiss village with the rock which is currently with the zoo of Vincennes, a cascade and a lake; after its destruction in 1937, ragpickers settle there by using the nacelles of the horse–gears like gravers.
Gradually the antique dealers replace the gravers which in 1960 are replaced by buildings. This place gathers antique dealers and art galleries but its frequentation decreases following competition. In order to give him one second life, of animations are organized since 2016 like the presence of the Republican guard with 35 horses or that of the firemen of Paris with pumps with horse and this year a fashion show.

Its collections are addressed to the women and to the men and are influenced by American Rick Owens, Korean Songzio and Demobaza.

It is in forest that Nouf went to draw the inspiration of its new creations. Fauna and flora have nourishes its imaginary. The wooded extent and its natural elements became the dominant topics of its draped embroideries. From this alchemy was born “Black Forest”.
Trees and foliages, sensual cuts, cat–like lines, effects of matters and transparency, the choice of black fine and delicate fabrics, all worked with the hand with refinement, butterflies, mysterious flowers, stars, pearls and other symbols take life to be melted with rapture in lace, silk, the organza and tulle. The short dresses mix with the long ones in a perfect harmony. With Nouf Seams, the women are sure themselves while being trend, class and sexy.
You really make it seem really easy with your presentation but I to find this topic to be actually one thing which I think I might by no means understand. It seems too complicated and extremely wide for me. I’m looking ahead for your next put up, I will try to get the hang of it!
