I saw these funny clothes hangers with illustrations of iconic French fashion designers in a shop window near St. Sulpice last week. I can figure out who most of them are but there are a few that I am not sure of. Can you fashion mavens tell me who the missing ones are?
The second series of photos are from am eyeglass boutique on rue de Sevigne in the Marais depicting old Hollywood stars with new sunglasses. The last photo is a satiric political comment on the different governing policies of Obama and Sarkozy.

The third photo is Nicolas Ghesquière, with Lagerfeld and Rykiel.

Yes, it's Marc Jacobs and NIcholas Ghesquiere. I saw this window a couple of months ago and blogged about it. http://areweinparisyet.blogspot.com/2009/09/kids-dogs-and-fashion-designers.html
Scared myself that I actually recognized them!
