AMIR
Avocado
Our eyes met by chance, in front of a counter at the Enfants Rouges market. But in reality, it was his pants that first caught our attention: a camouflage pattern but “upgraded” with gold threads.
When Amir, who is a lawyer, was asked about his style, he said: “For me, fashion is about expressing who you are; it is not a way of affirming belonging to this or that tribe. I want to escape the normal and the everyday,” says Amir, who only follows one rule: never wear jeans!
What inspires him is exoticism. The Orient in general and Japan in particular. A country whose silk fabrics enchant him. As for shoes, he likes sleepers “because they’re as comfortable as slippers”.
As for the favorite brands of this Parisian, recently returned from New York, it is that of Haider Ackermann, the god of sensual purity, followed by Rick Owens whose minimalism Amir appreciates.
A recent Marais resident, he feels good in the Marais which reminds him a little of Greenwich Village in New York, intimate and cosmopolitan at the same time. “Despite the crowds, people know each other, greet each other, smile at each other” Yes, the Marais is a village!

THE MOOD MARSH
Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.
Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.
Jazz at 38Riv: The highlights of May
The only jazz club in the Marais, 38Riv is the temple of cool and swing. Rue de Rivoli, between Saint-Paul and Hôtel de Ville, its vaulted cellars are the home base of the new jazz scene. Every evening, the magic happens.
