French musician Serge Gainsbourg’s Paris home
Located on the Rue de Verneuil, the exterior of Gainsbourg’s home has become a place where fans come to celebrate his greatness, hence the graffiti. Although the neighbours once tried to paint over the ‘mess’ it was quickly restored by Serge fanatics and daughter Charlotte has apparently been trying to turn it into a museum as everything remains intact as it was the day he died.
The brand behind the original ballet flat, which was made popular by Brigitte Bardot (she was trained as a dancer before becoming an actress), celebrated its sixtieth year in action this past year. To commemorate the date celebrities such as Vanessa Paradis and Catherine Deneuve designed their own pair of shoes for Repetto. (click through for more)
