Party, of course.At least that’s what French Vogue did to celebrate its 95th anniversary on Saturday night as seemingly all of fashion descended on a private mansion just south of the Arc de Triomphe.“Drinks!” bellowed Kanye West when asked what he was looking forward to most.
The rapper and designer, who attended several Paris shows last week, had completely ignored the black-tie dress code and arrived with his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner.“Drinks, drinks and more drinks,” he said. “That’s what I’m feeling tonight. Let’s get on with it. It’s time to get this party started.”. Carol Lim and Humberto Leon of Opening Ceremony first made names for themselves as harbingers of cool with their concept store. On Tuesday night, the duo held a dinner with Samsung at the L'Atelier des Artistes, and reinforced those credentials by flying over the rising star Angela Dimayuga, executive chef of Mission Chinese, to cook for a small group of fashion insiders.'

The crowd at Valentino was excitable on Tuesday afternoon as Paris Fashion Week - and the spring 2016 season - hit the home stretch.

I've never been to Paris Fashion Week before - so here I am!And what shows have you seen so far?I was at Stella McCartney yesterday, then Chanel earlier this morning. This will be my last show.Does attending these sorts of shows affect your decisions on what you wear, either on or off the court?Of course! That said, my state of mind varies quite drastically depending on where I am and what I'm doing. When I'm playing, I always go for clean lines and distinctive silhouettes.

Van Herpen’s studio.During the show, the robots 3D-printed woven root-like lacings around the actress Gwendoline Christie, who plays Brienne of Tarth in 'Game of Thrones' and who was lying silently on a plinth-like structure in their midst.Ms. Christie met Ms Van Herpen in Amsterdam in April of this year after discovering her work on the Internet, and they hatched the plan. She said she was interested in the way Ms. Van Herpen “explores ideas of design that go beyond clothing to what makes up our human structure,” and had always thought it was only a matter of time before Ms. Van Herpen made something that actually was alive.
