The former couturier is back with a new boutique in Paris, where a small but opulent collection of accessories and housewares is displayed in a minimalist decor: colorful totes and silk scarves, Jackie O-style sunglasses and over-the-top necklaces, throw pillows, carafe-and-goblet sets and scented candles. No plans for a women's clothing label yet, but a raffish menswear line occupies a corner of the shop. 1/2013Patrick Roger
