  1. Out of all the legacies of French culture, it is perhaps French fashion which is the most enduring and far reaching, with centuries of innovation, bold designs and a taste for the elegant, the decadent and the daring shaping the world of clothes and catwalk culture.

    Walk down any boulevard in Paris, and you can't help but be impressed by the seemingly effortless elegance and style displayed by the local men, and the breezy yet striking chic of French women of all ages. France is synonymous with fashion, fine taste and style, and Paris continues to hold its own as the fashion capital of world, beating competition from Milan, London and New York hands down.

  2. Women appear to become far more free to wear cross-gender clothing and to act outside their proven gender function.
    Contemplate how the media portrays women and men.
    It seems men are both the stereotypical macho guy or the bumbling fool.
    Men are less cost-free to present their feelings. Girls may be competent, intelligent,
    and athletic.
