Fashion week tips

My wife and I arrive on October 1st. Fashion week will be going on while we%26#39;re there. Aside from attending shows (we couldn%26#39;t get in anyway), are there any fun things to see during that week? I%26#39;m sure the people watching will be fascinating. Are there any places in particular to hang out and watch?

You know, this is strictly a guess. I wonder if there would be a lot of activity on Ave. Montaigne and r. Faubourg St. Honoré. A lot of the couture houses are there. The Chanel studio is on r. Cambon just of r. de Rivoli. Maybe there too? Really just guessing. The shows aren%26#39;t at the fashion houses so maybe I%26#39;m all wrong...

I work in the middle of the %26quot;Golden Triangle%26quot; and the various fashions weeks go completely unnoticed, except when passing some of the chic bars of the neighborhood. You will sometimes see a table or two of impossibly good looking young people -- fashion models on a break.

The fashion shows themselves are held in the most original places that can be unearthed at the moment. Such places have ranged from abandoned metro stations to the Louvre pyramid to art deco swimming pools. Only people with invitations are informed of the venue, for obvious reasons, and even so there is an ultra strict control due to all of the attempted gate crashing.
