Spend this afternoon imagining what Paris feels like, through French songs, French hip-hop and a French fashion show. This is the five-hour music party organized by Paris Huang, who refuses to reveal his Chinese name and guarantees 100 percent pure French theme for the afternoon.
Called Paris Vogue, it's a laid back lounge party at Deep from 2pm to 7pm. Huang is a DJ at Power 98.9 radio station, hosting a French theme music show for two years, and introduces European music for BMG, Warner music labels. He even has his own e-newsletter at http://come.to/parish. His romantic fervor about all things French has made him one of the few professional DJs in Taiwan specializing in French music.

In order to visualize his Parisian fantasy, the entrance of Deep will be decorated with old black and white photos. And there will be 20 models treading the boards in a seven-segment fashion show, including 1950s vogue, the embrace of femininity, and 18th century costumes. Lou Concepture Design is in charge of the fashion show.
However the most important part is the music. From 2pm to 4pm Huang will spin retro chansons, a music that reflects post-war Paris, including popular singer Enzo Enzo. From 4pm to 5:30pm will be groove time, composed of French reggae, hip-hop and the unique, North-African influenced Rai music, featuring rap singers such as MC Solaar. And from 5:30pm to 7pm will be time for the feet, with house music and Latin dance music, including dance diva Mylene Farmer. Call it romanticism, but the music and shows will only cost NT $300.
