Arts in autumn

What is luxury without culture?
I believe that without creative forces at hand the luxury industry runs the risk of going stale. This is why I regularly post cultural and design events happening in Paris.

Here we are, beginning of October and at the eve of the Nuit Blanche (night of the 7-8th October)- a night where the Paris streets are open to all contemporary arts. The city as backdrop to culture, all you really have to do is walk around... and you have the whole night to do this.
Some events can be discovered on the official website. Some neighbourhoods, like the marais, try to keep track of the more obscure happenings.

I will try not to miss the project Yves Klein never saw realised during his lifetime, at the obelisk of the concord - sposored by LVMH.
Another one on my list is "Boucle" a giant human mobile created by Xavier Veilhan on a skating rink with music by Sebastien Tellier.

So, if traipsing around in Paris by night is not your thing here are a couple of other ideas to keep up to date on the arts scene:

Major event of the season : the re-opening of the musée des arts décoratifs (15th of September)


101 years after its initial opening, and 10 years after its closing for renovation, this institution housed in the Marsan wing of the Louvre showcases thousands of objects on 6000 square metres.

ICONIC-At the Espace Louis Vuitton, nine designers celebrate the Vuitton bag.
