Hyeres 2008

The Sartorialist's last few posts have showcased some from the city of Hyeres in the South of France.

Curious as to what brought them to this locale, I went looking and found that there is an international fashion and photography weekend each year. I know its technically fashion week here in Cleveland, but somehow it doesn't speak to me in the same way as a village on the Med...

What can we do to make Cleveland have some of the charm of this village?
We have a number of the elements...
*access to water's edge
*sand beaches (not a word negative - they are beautiful regardless of your preconceived notion of 1970s pollution in an industrial town)
*creativity
*youth
*diversity
*artistic acumen

Why not a Hyeres here?
