If you’ve worn shoes by Robert Clergerie, Chanel, Charles Jourdan or Stéphane Kélian in the last 20 years, chances are you’ve worn Avril Gau's handiwork. Her new boutique in Saint Germain des Prés is the first dedicated to her own label of shoes, bags and gloves, and it’s earning rave reviews from Parisian fashion mavens. Her sleek pumps, sandals and ballerina flats in top-quality leather, reptile and lambskin are a welcome departure from currently ubiquitous platform stilettos.Notsobig
