What does Rive Gauche mean in fashion?
In fashion, Rive Gauche refers to the Left Bank area of Paris. The French phrase "Rive Gauche" literally translates to "left river" in English. Normally, Rive Gauche fashion is more trendy and casual compared to the more timeless and elegant Rive Droite or Right Bank.
