what are some of the newest , most avant garde boutiques in Paris? Is there a hot shopping area? I'm tired of all of the same designer names that you see in every town around the world. I would like to find some newer, less well known deigners of women's wear. I don't wast to look like everybody else, wearing the same labels. It gets boring and lacks individuality/
hmmm, check out maria luisa , it isnt new but you may find something there along with kokon to zai , and colette is always fun

I live in Paris. I don't know all the cool places, but...
Try in the 11th arrondissement : the whole rue de Charonne, and rue Keller. They're supposed to be one of the most "happening" places in Paris.
Also the rue Etienne Marcel (near Les Halles)
And a few consignement shops I like :
Chercheminippes in the rue du Cherche Midi (around number 100, 120) in the 6th arrondissement.
Réciproque is a huge one, but quite expensive, rue de la Pompe (metro rue de la Pompe) in the 16th.
Yes the shops im defently going to are
Cartier
Chloe
Christian Dior
Christian La Croix
Chanel
Emporio Armani
Et Vous
Givenchy
Gucci
Hermes
Yves St. Laurent Rive Gauche
Versace
Valentino
Louis Vuitton
Kenzo
Lolita Lempicka
Collette
Joseph
Escada
