Elle Style Director Kate Lanphear and stylist Keegan Singh both exude that New York cool that every enviable man and woman would die to look like.

THE STOMPING GROUNDS
BY TOMMY TON
Placing host to some of the biggest fashion shows, the Jardin Tuileries is considered the unofficial runway for all the fashion week attendees during Paris fashion week. Each season, fashion editors, buyers, stylists and models stomp along the sandy terrains in their stilettos, through the trenches of photographers to be knowingly photographed. It is here that some of the best outfits and most incredible footwear will be spotted. It's people watching at its best, almost like watching gazelles in their natural habitat.
