The secret of fashion - Paris fashion and Haute couture tour
Joined 2024
It has been centuries that Paris is the capital of fashion. This is a city who can still define beauty and taste. Those names, Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton...still stir dreams and emotions.
But why does Paris have this reputation? As a former lifestyle columnist, I had the chance to get into the heart of the fashion scene and learnt the amazing history of French fashion. I will share the most unexpected anecdotes of legendary designers and their ups and lows.

About Tour Guide Nikki W.
Hello world! I am Nikki, a Chinese-French girl grew up in an international environment and now living in Paris. I will be more than happy welcoming you in my beloved Paris!
After working in multinational companies for long years and travelling around the world for my job, I decided to give myself a break. I left office work and followed classes of art history. Since 2019 I became a freelance cultural travel expert and also a freelance contributor to lifestyle media's covering art, fashion and culture.
These various experiences lead me to the most privileged happenings in the City of Light and nurtured my strong desire to share my secret find of Paris and exchange with rest of the world.
I lived in all the hippest neighborhood in Paris, le Marais, Canal st martin, Parc Monceau and Belleville, with the time I accumulated good knowledge and network of artists, galleries, designers, food shops, concept stores, cocktail bars and other off-the-beaten-track address.
I love Paris as a local but also as a tourist, I have a strong passion to find the best-kept-secret and share my personal addresses to the ones who are curious to discover the hidden gems and sensitive to culture and human contacts.
