Paris Fashion Celebration Night

The second annual Fashion Celebration Night hosted by Vogue Paris and Condé Nast commences 7 September 2010 at 6 p.m. International editions of Vogue in 16 cities have organized events to celebrate fashion together on various nights around the globe for this special affair. Carine Roitfeld has an exclusive treat for Parisian partygoers...

In France, the Vogue Paris event occurs in the boutiques of Paris' golden triangle composed of avenue Montaigne, rue François 1er, and avenue George V. Then [shiver of joy] I quote the Vogue Paris web site: "Guests will have the chance to meet with Carine Roitfeld, editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris and the editors of the magazine that will give their advice on fashion and design for a shopping experience unique and unforgettable." Quelle nuit. What are your plans for Fashion Celebration Night?

For your convenience, here is a text version of the program for Vogue Fashion Celebration Night 2010 in Paris.

Paris Dans La Peau

Accompanying selected September issues of Vogue Paris is a video filmed behind the scenes of a VP editorial titled "Paris dans la peau" highlighting the work of make up artist Tom Pecheux, creative director for Estée Lauder. It focuses on priceless footage of Pecheux, the photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, the model Constance Jablonski, and of course the super stylist Carine Roitfeld on board a boat on the Seine. At 2:17 La Roitfeld dances and at 5:05 she takes control of the shoot. Ooo la la! Make it work, Carine.

Review: Vogue Paris September Issue

Vogue Paris enthusiast Milla from the blog Not Just Another Milla has lent her passionate voice to these pages for a review of the September issue of Vogue Paris. Fortune smiled upon her this morning by bringing her the exciting new issue along with her beautiful breakfast and then beamed upon us when she agreed to share her experience. Enjoy!

My husband popped out to the boulangerie to pick up breakfast this morning, and returned with our post including September’s Vogue. Freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade café au lait, pain au chocolat, and my September issue of Vogue Paris. Could this morning get any better? Well, actually yes, and it just did. Like many people, I didn’t recognize the delightful Marion Cotillard on the cover so hurried through the magazine to find her. Lo and behold, just who is featured in the pages preceding Marion’s editorial? Kate Moss, people, KATE MOSS!!! At this point, I’m like “Marion who?!”!

Kate stars in an editorial aptly named “Kate dans la peau,” a 13-page black & white editorial styled by Emmanuelle Alt, in which Miss Moss rocks nothing but black leather and gorgeous curly hair. Gorgeous!! I am particularly fond of the image of Kate in the short Dior bustier dress, and those Christian Louboutin Pigalle heels have always been on my “These heels will kill me but I still want them” list. Perfection!!

Turn the page, et voilà, “Marion dans les yeux” styled by Carine Roitfeld. I don’t know what it is; she resembles herself, but is different. Her hair is utter perfection. In my next life, I will have that exact hairstyle, but I digress… There’s something quite hard about the photographs, which is softened by the contrasting pink roses. A very nice touch indeed. Marion rolls on the bed in Dior haute couture and bracelets from Tiffany and Chopard. Nice but I don’t love it, but then again following Kate is a hard act.

A few pages down, August’s cover model Freja Beha Erichsen stars in "Néo Belphégor;" another black & white editorial shot on the grounds of the Louvre and styled by Anastasia Barbieri. Freja roams around in the most fabulous black dresses, and despite having a panther close by, manages to look ultra feminine. I love the contrast of textures between the animal fur to leather Bottega Veneta boots to the stunning velvet Giorgio Armani suit to the silk/satin Dolce & Gabbana dress. Milla loves!

Also, the photo of Kate Moss on page 354 is utter perfection. So much more to write… I want to do a scan, but I just cannot risk damaging the magazine! My June/July copy — also known as the best cover this year — is still in the plastic!!

Carine, I salute you!! 2010′s September issue is nothing short of a masterpiece. Merci beaucoup!

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld: It Girl

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld appears in an article titled "Fashion's New It Girls" by Derek Blasberg for the September issue of Harper's Bazaar. Though I do not think any of these girls are actually "new" to the scene, it is an interesting read nonetheless. Also on the list of "young, single, excitable, sexually liberated women" (to paraphrase Blasberg) filling the front row at fashion shows: Giovanna Battaglia, Lou Doillon, Bianca and Coco Brandolini d'Adda, Gaia Repossi, Margherita Missoni, Eugénie Niarchos, Charlotte Dellal, Delfina Delettrez Fendi, Shala Monroque, Caroline Sieber, Sophia Hesketh, Joséphine de La Baume, Natalia Vodianova, Dasha Zhukova, Lauren and Tatiana Santo Domingo, Alexia Niedzielski, Clémence Poésy, and Joana Preiss.
