บท 168: Chapter 153 Paris Fashion Week

March 11th, 5 p.m.

At the newly decorated Tuileries Palace, adorned with countless ribbons, oil paintings, and billboards, the whole of Europe is now watching as Paris Fashion Week is about to unfold.

The Tuileries Palace is a castle-like structure, its lofty halls surrounding a vast central square. Its initial design served as a last bastion for the King in times of emergency, the very square where troops were marshaled.

Now, however, this parade ground was filled with international visitors who had come for Fashion Week, with thousands in attendance.

Additionally, a considerable number of guests who were reluctant to purchase expensive seats stood in the gaps between the square and the buildings, craning their necks curiously towards the giant T-stage to the east. Of course, even standing-room tickets cost 6 livres.
