Behind the Scenes in Paris With Glamour Accessories Director Gretchen Gunlocke Fenton



    Take a sneak peek behind-the-scenes at Paris Fashion Week—Glamour's Accessories Director Gretchen Gunlocke Fenton just got back from a whirlwind fashion cornucopia of gorgeous shoes, brilliant bags, and glamorous runway shows. Check out her personal snaps from Paris Fashion Week after the jump.
    The famous mirrored staircase where Coco Chanel used to sit and watch her fashion shows. She could see everything that was going on through the offices by the reflections in the mirrors:

    There are photographers outside every show trying to capture the looks of all the stylish people as they walk into shows. Some people really dress up in some crazy outfits trying to get their picture taken. Here is Glamour’s Style Director, Melissa Ventosa Martin, getting her photo taken. She was in a minimal casual chic look:

    Olympia Le Tan—who's known for her charming “book” bags—showed clothing for the first time. We all huddled in the kitchen of a gorgeous museum as models with Bettie Page wigs removed their layers until they were dressed only in 1940s style lingerie:

    I love this green shoe with mirrored heel from YSL. It's on my must-have list for Fall! Wish I didn’t have to wait so long for it.

    A few seasons ago Celine started the craze of clutches and pouches as everyday bags. Here is an updated version for Fall in white fur.
