If you love travel, a good photography exhibition and you're in Paris over the next few months, you need to check out this fabulous showcase of photographs in Paris's outlet shopping village, La Vallee Village.
Fashion meets travel at the retro art exhibition featuring the works of renowned fashion photographer Norman Parkinson.
The Travel In Style exhibition features 23 iconic fashion photographs showing 'timeless elegance' where you can see the chic humour, glamour and style of travel from the 1950s to the 1970s captured by Parkinson.
Norman Parkinson worked with leading fashion magazines Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, and was also the official photographer of the British royal family. He is known throughout the world for inventing modern fashion photography and revolutionising the genre.
The collection of photographs shows refined travel and iconic adventures, like the top image of women chatting in New York in a photo titled Young Velvets for a 1949 issue of Vogue. The second image, Cardin Hat Over Paris featured in a 1960 issue of Queen Magazine. The India photograph captures 1950s model Anne Gunning in a gorgeous pink coat walking through colourful Jaipur. It featured in a 1956 edition of Vogue. The last photo, title The Art of Travel, captured the true jet-setter and appeared in a 1951 issue of Vogue.
Want to see the rest of the exhibition? Head to Espace La Vallee at La Vallee Village from 15 September 2012 to 6 January 2013, from 10am to 7pm, for the free exhibition.
If you've been to La Vallee Village before, you'll know it’s a 35-minute journey outside the centre of Paris close to Disneyland, but this free exhibition is well-worth the travel, plus there are 90 outlet boutiques, like Diane von Furstenberg, Armani and Paul Smith for you to enjoy a whole day of shopping.
