With designers like Pierre Hardy, Alber Elbaz, & stores like Colette, Paris is the definition of cool. Some may argue over New York or Paris acting as the fashion capital of the world, but let’s just get along for now to talk about the Parisian equivalent to our downtown chic, Surface 2 Air. S2A is a must have for every LES grungy scenester. With a men’s and women’s collection, there’s fashion for everyone. The designers of Surface 2 Air aren’t afraid to mix textures and let simplistic colors speak for themselves. And I’m not one to gossip but I hear that there may be a lil collabo with a Ms. Tory Burch. Leigh Lezark of the Misshapes has a closet stocked with Surface 2 Air and now you can too. Shop S2A at 68, rue Charlot 75003 PARIS + 33 1 44 61 76 27 or log onto surface2airparis.com.
