Maybe you've seen a peek of this unusual two-story Parisian shop in Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" -- but if you didn't know the contents inside this establishment on rue du Bac, you wouldn't expect to walk into a world full of motionless, perfectly preserved animals of all shapes, sizes, and poses. Dating back to 1831, Deyrolle truly is a wonder far beyond the average taxidermy shop. Vassili Verrecchia, a native of Paris, tells us why this little shop is his favorite place in the entire city: More»

One half of the powerhouse team Verrecchia & Partners -- the two brothers responsible for producing some of the coolest restaurants (such as Café Gitane at the Jane Hotel), music (such as covers of Serge Gainsbourg's songs), magazines (such as L'Officiel Hommes), along with fashion and art out there -- Vassili Verrecchia has a lot to be happy about. He's getting married in June to his fiancé, Lara, his lifestyle allows him to travel the world, and he's got a bevvy of new projects in the works.

While his brother, Timothee, runs the NYC office, Vassili takes on the Paris-based side of things. To gain some insight to what inspires such a creative and entrepreneurial spirit, we asked Vass to show off some of his favorite worldly and sentimental possessions in his Paris home.

London is also spreading its wings with the long overdue Topshop landing in The Grove this fall, as well as Japan's Uniqlo, plus some other exciting ones we've heard whispers about. So without further ado, here's a roundup of the best boutiques and fashion outposts we know for sure will soon open the doors of their new L.A. digs, as well as some unconfirmed speculated arrivals we may soon be able to look forward to shopping at in the near future.

Paris Fashion Week left us with aching feet, bags under our eyes, and a vicious hang over -- but we decided to take a look back and reminisce on the best parties anyway. From off the catwalks and into the clubs, (and in Kanye's instance, go-karts), check out where all the models, designers, celebrities, socialites gathered at the best parties of Paris Fashion Week!

Le sigh, Paris Fashion Week is coming to an impossibly chic end.  A few things we've learned on our Fashion Week abroad: denim is back- whether it be ripped, boyfriend, or widelegged, leather jackets are still alive and well- the traditional black moto being a fave, and a coat should only be worn draped over the shoulders, deeming arm holes a mere ornament.  With that lesson out of the way, here are some awesome street style looks and how to make them yours.

We already provided you with a list of places to go before or after the shows to get a nice drink and relax, but if your idea of letting loose involves thumping music and dancing, we bring you this shortcut to the Paris nightlife scene.
