“This is the rythm of my life, the night, oh yeah The rythm of the night
This is the rythm of my life, the night, oh yeah”
In 1993 Corona sang The Rhythm of the Night, a motif that becomes (over the years) a fad and a symbol of crazy nights and parties until dawn.
CORONAVIRUS and the global restrictions implemented to stem the spread of the pandemic have limited (often canceled) nightlife.
Public events and obviously fashion weeks have inevitably suffered the heavy situation.
For over a year, post-show events have been a sweet memory of moments that each of us longed to savor again.
SS23 gave us that intense flavor, again. For almost ten days, Paris was animated by a ferment that smacked of rebirth, despite the weight of sad international socio-political developments.
Vernissage, cocktails, dinners, and anniversaries have filled the fashion calendar.
However, it is on the after-show parties that we wanted to focus our attention by choosing the eight (in our opinion) best in town…
ENJOY the countdown!
8 – Isabel Marant
Old School. The evening organized by Isabel Marant in the historic Showroom made me travel back in time and brought (my mind) back to the last event before the dramatic COVID-19 parenthesis. The formula is the same: good food, excellent cocktails, and DJs I love (Ariel Wizman, Honey Dijon, Matthias Geerts – just to say).
7 – Givenchy
Spectacular. Arriving on the sixteenth floor of the Hotel So / Paris, you cannot fail to be captured by the 360 ° view of the city.
Bonnie, this is the name of the place, is one of the top places in Paris, and the choice of Matthew Williams (also there during the night) and the Givenchy Team was made ad hoc to amaze and pamper the guests, many celebrities.
6 – Miu Miu
Chill. GIGI in 15 Avenue Montaigne is the ideal location for the post-fashion show of “La Signora di Milano”, Miuccia Prada. The outdoor terrace is perfect for chatting with friends. The cocktails are delicate, the champagne is from my favorite brand. There is also music that creates the right vibe: ideal for the last party of fashion week.
5 – Giorgio Armani
Italian. For one night Castel in rue Princesse is transformed into one of the famous 80s (sweet life) disco clubs in Italy, but the music is unscrupulously modern.
“Re Giorgio” gives us a fun evening: past and present together to build the future.
4 – Kenzo
Surprising. Doja Cat’s live performance surprised the audience, no doubt.
The evening unfolded at the stunning Cirque d’Hiver is a tribute to the festive spirit of Paris Fashion Week.
On this occasion, KENZO also created a WEB3 layer: guests were able to turn their invitation to the party into an NFT.
3 – Balenciaga
Underground. The big “rave” organized by Demna Gavsalia for the small world of fashion, we expected it.
The location is one of my favorite in Paris: La Station.
The atmosphere is that of a festival in Eastern Europe: sold out.
2 – Acne Studios
Pink. Palais de Tokyo is the (pink) set off a “king-size” party like the beds that filled the space.
The atmosphere is exaggerated, and unregulated … Only one is the rule: jumping on the mattresses.
1 – Chloé
Unexpected. Another “rave” organized in the noble atmosphere of Place-Vendôme by the Maison founded by Gaby Aghian is the event of the season: no photos were allowed.
