One of my favorite activities in Paris is to window shop on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. The street is noted for the high end stores and while you may not want to actually shop in any of the stores, it is worth wandering the street just to see what’s the latest trends are coming out of the Paris fashion houses. This was not a shopping trip but I thought my daughter should experience the street first hand and we were not disappointed.
The Lanvin Paris windows could not have stood out more, not only for the 2013 Winter looks but also for the striking mannequins and their outsized heads.
I definitely recommended wandering Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and it’s not out of the way since it’s close to the Champs-Élysées and Place de la Concorde. And don’t be afraid to actually go in a look around? I find that the French sales people are nicer than sales people on Madison but the key is to say acknowledge them as they walk in by saying “Bonjour”, and don’t ignore them if they approach you like you would in the U.S. You may actually want to buy something.
Are you fan of window shopping at high end stores?

I love these mannequins, hilarious faces.
Well I have never seen mannequins like that before …the head are so big hilarious 🙂
Have a mannequintastic week 😉
They are quite scary. The mannequin with the necklace that says HELP makes me wonder what’s going on behind the scenes.
Love ’em!
Wow, that’s really creepy actually!
Those are some really interesting mannequins. Only in France 🙂

I’m with Tammi – got the ‘heebie jeebies’ looking at these!! Love the reflection of your girl in the second last though. Whether by design or accident, you got a great memory there!!! YAM xx
Those giant heads are really kind of creepy! But that is a nice area, I’ve walked it before.
Those are the weirdest looking mannequins that I have ever seen. I agree with the others that those heads are creepy. Look like they should be in some scary Halloween movie.
I love Paris, but those heads are just creepy – they’d definitely put me off shopping at Lanvin!!!
Very interesting seeing these types of mannequins. Thanks for hosting.
Beautiful fashion!! Ah to be in Paris!!
Those are creepy as hell!!
Gosh I can’t get pass the face to look at the clothes. haha
If those are models, they don’t need the head.
