French Fashion Fever
8th June 2023
Hold onto your hats and buckle up for a fashion extravaganza as you are whisked away to the enchanting world of France's iconic runways—the pulsating heart of fashion! Let the Year 4 children guide you through the glitz and glamour of 'The Paris Fashion Week,' where supermodels sashay, sophisticated ensembles take centre-stage and the magic of 'La Mode' unfolds before your eyes. Can you guess what this article is all about? Bien sûr, it’s fashion, but with a French twist!
Our young fashionistas have been delving into the captivating theme of the 'catwalk'. Have you ever wondered where the term originated? Well, in 1880, it was coined to capture the elegant and precise way a cat moves—a quality that models have strived to emulate ever since.
In their exploration, the children dove headfirst into the world of fashion, discovering various clothing items and adorning them with a vibrant palette of colourful adjectives. Oh la la! But here's a fascinating twist: did you know that colours in French have gender? It may sound peculiar, but colours can be masculine or feminine, depending on the gender of the noun they are describing. Let's not forget, they also adapt to numbers: whether singular or plural. C'est magnifique (and complicated)!
Equipped with the verb 'porter - to wear,' our aspiring fashionistas confidently showcased their personal styles. The excitement was contagious as they passionately designed and described their dream outfits or even their wildest, most audacious fashion creations in French. The catwalks of their imaginations came alive!
