In Paris I spotted a new book on Italian-born "French" fashion illustrator René Gruau (1909-2004).

Did you watch the 2009 American Music Awards Last night. No color to speak of. Even crazy Lady didn't put her red on...

In the '50s and 60's Rene Gruau waved his red wand and did wonders for Dior, Balmain, Lanvin, the Lido, Moulin Rouge, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar..

Fabulous line drawing with touches of red were his signature...

The touch of red/rouge is Paris' signature too in my opinion...

It's omnipresent...

What other town features red the way Paris does?

Set me right puleeze.

Not New York, that's for sure...

Even if purple is the color of the month...

Red is never out in Paris...

Is it just me seeing all this red..?

Red bustier - who does lingerie better than the French?

BONJOUR PARIS ROUGE!
