The Musée de la Marine has a new exhibition going on until July 26th, "Les marins font la Mode" ("Sailors chic in Paris"). It is shows ancient sailors uniforms, but it is more focused about how sailors fashion has influenced civilian fashion, from the 19th century little boys to Coco Chanel, Yves Saint-Laurent and of course Jean-Paul Gaultier, with quite a few haute couture clothes and accessories on display .

All the nice girls love a sailor,
All the nice girls love a tar;
For there's something about a sailor --
Well, you know what sailors are!

Bright and breezy, free and easy,
He's the ladies' pride and joy.
Falls in love with Kate and Jane,
Then he's off to sea again --

Ship Ahoy! Ship Ahoy!

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
