Fendi fashion party in Paris
This is the first time I’m not attending the Fashion Week in Paris for two years and God how many crazy memories do I not have from the Fashion Weeks in Paris? Usually I’m busy 24 hours during the Fashion Weeks, on daytime I try to cover up most of the shows, taking streetstyle photos outside and catwalk photos inside….later in the afternoon I try to upload my photos, on my blog and send it to magazines and websites I collaborate with. After the work it’s dinner time and the best part of it all…fashion parties all over the city!!! You don’t want to miss any of them…and this is the time for party hoppin’ :-) The great parties are held during the Fashion Weeks and this is also the time were you do extremly well networking with people from all around the world that has one thing incommon – a passion for fashion and party ;-)
Me on my way to yet another fashion week party in Paris
As they say “the more the merrier”…the fashion week parties are more fun if you bring a partner in crime with you… I’ll never forget how much fun I had with my friend Linda Romanazzi (aka the Queen of Champagne) and my friend Jo (aka the Dancing Queen) during the Men’s fashion week in Paris last year. We started pretty early with cocktail at Roland Mourets cocktail evening and fashion show…then we went for some cocktails at the Murano KUBE Hotel…before we set of to the hotel Shangri-La where the GQ Magazine were having a private party where they had the election of the Man of the Year. It was like going to a party with only eye-candies if you know what I mean….fun,fun and Champagne Piper Heidsieck Brut was served accompanied by delicious chocolate and just imagine the combination of that and the rest…..And then…it was not over…there is always an after-party so we went straight to le Baron were we partied until 5-6 in the morning. Had to go home and have some beauty sleep before I had to wake up around 9 to go to the fashion shows…You see, not much sleep was taken during the Fashion Weeks ;-) Another great party I went to was the Fendi party at VIP Room. The party was crowded with top supermodels, Duran Duran were playing live and Karl Lagerfeld and Lou Doillon were some of the guests who were there. One hour past midnight we set off to Montana were we were invited to Maison Michel‘s party where Laetitia Crahay had an opening ceremony for a special collection. Montana was crowded and it was nearly impossible to make through to the dance floor downstairs….people were dancing all over the place..on tables, the couches you name it. Olivier Zahm from Purple Magazine was there among the guests and so were Lou Doillon, Ania Rubik, James Goldstein…and then I met the Swedish designer and founder of J.Lindeberg, Johan Lindeberg straight from NY. Many people are coming from NY during the Fashion Week in Paris and that’s really fun and I get to meet some of my friends from NY during those occasions and they are really ready to party non-stop. I will never forget my friend and a designer from NY who brought is luggage to Baron where we were going to party until 5-6 in the morning…then he left straight to the airport back to the States. You see…no time for sleep ;-)
Fashion Week in Paris
Me and my friend Vanessa had a great time at Dsquareds flagship store opening party and their after part at Le Ritz..Dean and Dan Caten (the founders of the brand) throw an excellent party that you can read more about here. My friend Thierry Lasry (a French sunglass designer) was also a great fashion week party organizer…his birthday/end of fashion week party at Schmuck was great and so was the party he held at L’Arc last year. What can I say? The people in Paris really knows how to party and there is no ending…only new beginnings :-) The most fun and crazy parts I will keep for myself and between me and my partner in crimes…nothing I can share with you on my blog..unfortunately…but lets say that the best, funny and crazy memories I have from my life in Paris are from the Fashion Weeks…where anything…really anything can happen. And when you think it can’t get better and you won’t have an experience such as the one you’ve just had…well, get prepared for some new adventures because it just gets better and better ;-)

The FASHION WEEK started in Paris yesterday and I’ve recieved some invitations to shows and my mailbox has been bombed with invitations to fashion week parties….. You all know how devoted I’ve been to the Fashion Weeks in Paris…what a pity I’m not there this time. Due to some travelling I won’t be attending this time. BUT I’ve done a guide where I share my hot spots for the Fashion Week in Paris.
Barba Bui fashion show in Paris 2011
Before the Fashion Week begins you need to get a hold on the bible – the Fashion Week agenda. There you will have all the schedules for all the fashionshows that are taken place during the week. Also there is information about all the hype fahion parties!
fashion week agenda
I usually go to the fashion shows a bit earlier, just so that I have the time to take streetstyle photos on the people who are invited to the shows. People are coming from all around the world and it’s a fashion show in itself watching how these people are dresssed. On the photo below you see me and James Goldstein, also a devoted fashion week fan ;-)

How to run from one fashion show to another? Forget about the metro or taxis….take a bike ;-) This Ducati Sport 1000 never let me down ;-)

After been running from one fashionshow to another during a whole day you need a break, the best place is to go to Le Bar VOGUE that is held at the hotel Crillon. Have a nice cocktail and rest your legs, you need a well deserved break ;-)

Dinner, dinner – we all need to eat :-) During the fashionweeks I usually went to L’Avenue for dinner. Delicious food and the restaurant is situated in the golden V. Great position to continue and go to the fashion parties later that are all taken place in that area or close to it….

The fashion parties are a great place to do networking – you will meet people from all over the world that are into fashion, usually there is an open bar, a super DJ is always invited to play great tracks and you will definately have FUN! On the first photo below you see my friend Linda Romanazzi ( Swedish DJ in Paris), me and my friend Thierry Lasry ( French sunglass designer) at the private nightclub Baron on a Lolita Lempicka party that was held during the fashion week in Paris 2011. On the next photo below you see Thierry Lasry, me and Ludovic Messager on the Thierry Lasry & Quintessence Playground party at L’Arc in Paris 2011.

The fashion week parties are usually until 23h or midnight…after that I usually went straight to Montana for some wild after party and after Montana there was always an after-after party at Baron…even wilder.

Those are my favourite hot spots during the fashion weeks in Paris….if you are there – enjoy to the fullest! Me, I’m just charging my batteries for the later fashion weeks ;-)

New Years Eve in Singapore
After our New Years Eve dinner at the Italian restaurant InContro in Singapore we had a walk along Clark Quay and reached the bridge at Riverside Point. It was crowded with people and everyone were waiting for the fireworks. The ambiance was crazy, people were there from all over the world…some guys had big loudspeakers pumping out songs from Rihanna.At midnight we all were dissapointed though, no fireworks around the Clarke Quay area…we should have been at Marina Bay Sands watching the fireworks instead. But it didn’t acctually matter, what mattered was that me, my sister and dad were joined and having fun. After midnight our dad went back to his hotel while me and my sister continued our evening…
Me and my sister went on to the centre of Clark Quay where there was a big outdoor NYC party. The DJ was awesome…he was playing the best hits from Rihanna, David Guetta and other awesome partytracks…people were just happy..dancing and enjoying the New Years Eve. And even though it was the first time in my life that I didn’t watch any fireworks I had enjoyed my evening :-)

Vivienne Westwood party at L'ARC
So many parties to choose between during the fashionweek…but after been shooting a whole day outside the fashionshows it’s almost impossible to go party hardcore. I passed by the Vivienne Westwood Gold Label after show party that was held at L’Arc in Paris. Crowded with partypeople :-) Had a drink and got a pair of cool partyglasses that you can see on the photo below:

The cocktail store-opening of DSQUARED² flagship store in Paris was followed by a big party at the piscine du Ritz where some of the invited guests were Ciara, James Goldstein, Anna Dello Russo, Bryan Adams, Bob Sinclair, Natasha Poly and Renzo Rosso. DJ Ruckus was shu-shu-shu-shuffling and NE-YO made a live-performance and in between male go-go dancers were testing the resistance of the poles! It was an amazing party and I had a great time :-)

My sweet friend Hana and me @ Orangeriet, Stockholm
I really appreciate that my friend Hana takes me out to new opened places in Stockholm everytime I’m here. Last night we went to the bar Orangeriet. I loved it! Very nice interior with industrial details, delicious cocktails and beautiful view over the sea. Had a great time with Hana. God knows how much I’ve been laughing since I got to her place and last night was no exception. We burst into laughter several times at the bar ;-)

@ Carmen in Paris, photo taken by my friend Vanessa
The beautiful dark color that my hairdresser dyed my hair with 2 months ago is stucked as glue. I thought it would, like other haircolors, be a bit lightened by the sun and by time…but no, it’s still the same as for two months ago. Means it must have been a really good haircolor my hairdresser used ;-) Now I’m used to the color and I love it :-)

Birthday party á la 80's
Last week my friend Vanessa invited me to her friends birthday party and the theme was the 80′s. The host of the party had decorated the apartment in flashy 80′s colors, people were dressed in neon colors and sun-glasses and the DJ played typical 80′s music such as hits from Madonna, Michael Jackson etc…. Had a great time at the party dancing till past midnight on the dancefloor they had created in their livingroom :-)

Linda Romanazzi DJing @ MAC soirée
My friend Linda invited me to a MAC make-up soirée this week at the MAC boutique at 324 rue St Honoré. She was DJing on the event and she was awesome as always mixing good oldies with new hits… She also let me try DJing which was pretty cool! Would love to learn me more :-) One of MACs make-up artists made smokey-eyes-make-up on me (see the result on the next photo) which I loved! Had a nice time, checking in their make-up, listening to good music, gossiping with my friend Linda while having champagne and appetizers….

@ The Ritz Bar in Paris
Last week I meetup my dear friend Jo at the Ritz Bar. Seated in red-velvet armchairs inspired from the Victorian Era, electro music in the background and drinks on or table we had some girl-talk till late night :-)
Next time I go to Ritz I will try the Hemingway Bar where Ernest Hemingway, Marcel Proust and Scott Fitzgerald once upon a time used hang around at and it was also there where Bloody Mary was invented, for Hemingway! A pretty intresting story behind the drink that I’ll write about later ;-) The Hemingway bar has been ranked as the best bar in the world by Forbes magazine so it’s definately worth to discover and I have to try their Bloody Mary ;-)
