What’s the deal with Paris Fashion Week? And what should you wear as a tourist in the City of Light? And just how do Parisian women get their hair to look like that?
All these questions and many more are answered on The Earful Tower podcast this week by Monica de La Villardière. She’s a Canadian in Paris who works as a fashion and culture journalist.
She is also the co-host of the fashion podcast Fashion no Filter, and she runs the hugely popular Instagram account @monicaainleydlv, where she takes over 100,000 people behind the scenes of the Paris fashion world…. and far beyond!
Look, there she is below!
Listen to the podcast
Monica and I (the idiot mentioned in the title of this post) sat down in the lovely Treize au Jardin cafe for this chat on a rainy autumnal day. You may even be able to hear the rain in the background.
Enjoy the episode and follow for more of the same every single week.
More from Monica
Of course, the best way to see more from Monica is to follow her on Instagram. But here are a few more of her street style snaps.
Mentioned in the show
Monica’s article in Vogue UK about Emily in Paris. The secretive street style account Parisiens in Paris. And Treize au Jardin, the cafe where we recorded the episode.
Meanwhile, here’s the clip of The Earful Tower’s shoutout in the US game show last week.
And below, as promised, is my new TikTok account featuring just one video: Monica and me, doing a limerick. I have 3 followers. Can you help?
