Paris at night in 1962

Ahhh, I wish I could type in a French accent. Look at these amazing photos of Paris cafes and nightlife in 1962. Ze gorgeous women! Ze smokey eyes! Ze glamorous leeps! Ze chic sunglasses! Ze poodle wis ze brie! Ohhh lala!

These images were taken the same week as Yves St. Laurent's runway show that launched the house of Dior to new and glittering heights. Double oooh lalala!!

The photographer was Tom Palumbo who also shot for Vogue and Bazaar in the 50s and 60s. You can see more of his work on his Flickr page.
