Saasha Burns' Paris Guide

For Saasha Burns, Paris is more than a Fashion Week destination. A creative director and mother of three who divides her time between Melbourne and Paris, she knows the city beyond the runways — the cafés worth lingering in and the addresses she shares with friends.

This season, Saasha turned to GRACE for a wardrobe to see her through Paris Fashion Week, feeling as good as she looked. Here, she shares her personal guide to the city, from the shows that stayed with her to the neighbourhood favourites she returns to between appointments.

Paris, through an eye we trust.

Saasha's Paris Address Book

Best spot for a coffee and croissant?
Berry in the Marais. Their cinnamon buns are always incredible. Go early, there will definitely be a queue. Otherwise Fauna for a double espresso.

Your go-to boutique?
I always make time for Le Bon Marché. I adore their children’s section - it’s impossible to leave empty handed. I also bought a pair of zebra calf hair heels (get the look here).

Dinner spot?
My favourite local spot at the moment is Aux Deux Amis in the 11e arrondissement. Or you’ll find me getting takeaway at Dumbo for one of my favourite smash burgers in Paris. 8.

What about for an after dinner drink?
To be honest, PFW is such a full week, with 10pm brand dinners that end well after midnight and early morning shoots. I didn’t drink all week. But I do always love a negroni at Hôtel Costes ... I’ll be back soon!
