“Bonjour”….. No its not a 1930’s “Brassaï brogue” in Paris photo, but I must say I can only dream that I am living the Parisian life in my cherry red brogues (which matches my cherry red lipstick) worn with my opaque black tights, a blue and red striped tulle skirt that sits so cleverly at my knees. With my white ruffled oversized sleeved button up shirt tucked neatly into the many layers of tulle, and my felt bowler hat sits proudly on my blonde bob. I am happily smiling under the Eiffle tower and it’s all because of my cherry red brogues.
Gyula Halász went by the name "Brassaï," which means "from Brasso." As Brassaï, he captured the essence of Paris in his photographs, publishing his first book of photographs in 1933 titled "Paris de nuit" ("Paris by Night"). Brassaï wrote that photography allowed him to seize the Paris night and the beauty of the streets and gardens, in rain and mist. His efforts met with great success, resulting in his being called "the eye of Paris" in an essay by his friend Henry Miller.
