Acclaimed New Zealand fashion label Paris Georgia has teamed up with British artist Joe Sweeney to redefine the essence of a “Career Girl” in a bold new collaboration. This launch features a line of T-shirts emblazoned with the playful moniker, capturing the limitless spirit of modern career paths and the fluid identities that embody them—whether parent, entrepreneur, chef, or trend forecaster. The collection’s London-based photo series, styled by Flora Huddart and captured by Letty Schimiterlow, exudes effortless elegance, pairing Paris Georgia’s refined aesthetics with statement jewellery by New Zealand’s own Naveya & Sloane.
So, what happens inside the It-circle when launching said collaboration halfway across the globe? Well, we wouldn’t know, we weren’t there. Which is why we tapped the shoulder of founder of Naveya & Sloane, and friend of FQ Rachel Sloane, who happened to stop by while on her own European tour to guide us through her curated list of must-visit Parisian spots.
“Obsessed with @paris__georgia’s CAREER GIRL vision alongside @sweeneytoddla ❤️ A call to embrace empowerment, inclusivity, and personal fulfilment.”

Rachel Sloane's guide to Paris
STAY
Hôtel Costes on Saint Honoré street is a fabulous stay with an incredible restaurant and outside courtyard which cultivates such a cool vibe with great music. The location is perfect with Musée de l’orangerie and Jardin des Tuileries a close walk away.
DINE
It’s hard to narrow down a favourite spot to dine in Paris; L’Emil is a chic, intimate brasserie offering a modern take on French cuisine. We had potentially the best meal of our lives at Les Caves Saint Gilles, a Spanish restaurant with a warm atmosphere and impeccable service —you must order the paella.
And you simply cannot visit Paris without a patisserie stop, Stohrer is one of the oldest patisseries and a great spot to pick up special gift.
SHOP
Rue des Francs Bourgeois in the Marais is a great area for shopping particularly for beautiful perfumes. With nearby Place des Vosges and Cour et Jardin de l’Hôtel de Sully to relax and take a break in. Book lovers must head to Librairie Galignani near the Jardin des Tuileries. It has a wonderful selection of jewellery books!
SEE
If you’re seeking artistic inspiration, head to the Musée de l’orangerie and the Picasso Museum—it’s incredible to view the philosophies and stories from these great artists. The French Crown Jewels at The Galerie d’Apollon are an out of this world experience, an absolute highlight for me as they had been on my Pinterest board for about 10 years. The many gardens in Paris are beautiful, allow time to wander through the parks that are surrounded by the most magical streets.
