Savoir Faire is in love with the two photographs below that display all the joie de vie and savoir faire that existed in Paris in the 1950s and early 1960's.
Both photographs display different aspects of Paris nightlife with quite different effects. The first photo is full of glamour being set in one of Paris' fabulous cabarets such as the Lido or Moulin Rouge. Suzy Parker has been dressed by the legendary Madame Gres and her tuxedoed companion are caught up in the exuberance of the evening with lots of champagne!
Our next photo again displays a young couple out on the town in Paris. However in this case our couple are probably at the end of their evening and are patronizing a local neighbourhood bar or bistro, for what looks like some french onion soup. The couple are full of confidence and savoir faire and our local customers are not surprised at seeing such a wonderfully dressed couple on their territory!
Proves that if you have savoir faire you can fit in anywhere!
I would like at least a hour in Paris. I have yet to go.

ReplyDeletesuffice to say, i LOVE these images
The second photograph reminds me of a certain Edward Hopper painting. I love the young lady's rather self-conscious pose juxtaposed with the server's disinterest. Both are great photos!
