What's the deal with Paris Fashion Week? And what should you wear on your visit to Paris? And how do Parisian women get their hair to look like that?

All these questions and much more are answered this week by Monica de La Villardière. She is a Canadian in Paris, who works as a fashion and culture journalist. She is the co-host of the fashion podcast Fashion no Filter, and runs the hugely popular Instagram account @monicaainleydlv.

And the idiot in this show, of course, is me. Enjoy the episode and subscribe for more of the same every single week.
