I was thrilled to receive an invitation to the On Aura Tout Vu couture collection for Spring 2013. The event was held at the Mairie de Paris in the 4th arrondissement, and was also sponsored on part by one of my favorite cosmetic brands, Caron, who offered to guests a little box of bath beads. And beading was certainly in the theme of the collection which was illustrated by the beatle, it’s shiny green shell, and a palette of it’s colorful hues, as well as plenty of black and patent fabrics to illustrate the essence of this creature.

The collection was one of the more exciting shows I saw at the 2013 Paris Haute Couture week. I was not only impressed with the savoir-faire of the brand, but I was also impressed with their acknowledgement of those that work for them, les petites mains, whom they brought out to take a bow on the catwalk, a gesture that I found to be nboth gracious and humble.
