When I first visited Paris in the late 90s what caught my eye the most
was the vagrants sense of style and how they dressed. It was
completely uninfluenced by any trend, for obvious reasons. It came
from necessity.  Once I observed a man standing inside the door of the
restaurant; I thought he had an amazing presence while he waited for
the leftovers. It was winter and he was head-to-toe in tailored
garments combined in the most amazing patterns. This was not shabby
chic; quite the opposite, this man looked his best. I dont dress like
a French vagrant, but their sense of style inspired me greatly.
