On the Street: April Can Wait - Cunningham shows us how Fashion is really worn in Paris

Bill Cunningham of The New York Times does a audio & picture montage of Paris Ready to Wear shows or rather the people on the street who attend the Paris Ready to Wear show.
Critiquing the style spectacle seen from a sidewalk cafe in Paris

intense series of designer shows that ended earlier this month. Women —
and a few men — who dress as an art form mixed in with models wearing
exotic hairstyles rushing from show to show. Celebrities either passed
nearly unnoticed (can you spot one here?) or were chased by paparazzi.
Known for her exotic hats is the Italian Vogue editor, Anna Piaggi. The
latest twist: skirts shortened to expose lacy undergarments. And that
celebrity?
