Rock En Seine (26-28 August '11, Paris) // Words: Simon Opie

On Sundays, Parisians dress down, so today’s fashion index was noticeably lower and consequently it was a bit harder to spot the Brits, of whom there were plenty in attendance.

Rock En Seine: Friday 26 August 2011 [Festival Review]

Rock En Seine (26-28 August '11, Paris) // Words: Simon Opie

Zut alors! – For the first time in four years it’s wet and relatively cold for Rock En Seine, which, by the way, is not your usual music festival but a cross between the standard fare and a chic Parisian end-of-holiday party. Fashion conscious Parisians would of course rather die than look dowdy so they dress to impress even in the mud and rain. Great for the spectacle, but I did feel a bit out of place being the only person in thirty thousand sporting a fluorescent yellow waterproof jacket.
