Paris, Le Soir! Inside the Chicest Fashion Parties of the Season

PARIS, FRANCE, 6 OCTOBER 2026 —

You hardly thought everyone went home after the runway wraps, did you? Beyond the collection unveilings, the Spring 2027 season has seen no shortage of parties popping off across Paris.

Indulging in Caviar Kaspia and taking turns on the karaoke mic were the likes of Princess Olympia of Greece, Lila Moss, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Isabella Massenet, Pixie Geldof, Connor Ives, and Chung’s partner Tom Sturridge, who all hung out until late as the soirée spilled onto the side walk. Rounding out the transatlantic guest list were former Ref collaborators Camille Rowe and Camille Charrière, too. As for the dress code?

The new collection, naturally—which is available to get your hands on now. —Freya Drohan Simkhai “Paris Fashion Week is almost like summer camp in a way,” Jonathan Simkhai told Vogue at the intimate dinner he hosted at Red Katz for his nearest and dearest.

“It’s always so exciting, seeing everyone, what they’re wearing and what people are excited about.” For the Los Angeles-based designer, there was lots of excitement in the air this week—not least his pop-up boutique at Galeries Lafayette, open through October 15, which he calls a real pinch-me moment.

“It’s always been the center of my universe in terms of retail,” said Simkhai.“To finally have a store there, and in Paris, is surreal.” The evening also felt like an opportunity to celebrate Taylor Swift wearing one of his creations on Saturday Night Live hours earlier. “I’m a huge Taylor fan,” the designer said.

“Her stylist, Joseph Cassell, was one of the first people that really supported the brand, and very, very early on Taylor wore the brand. We’ve been working together since.” Simkhai raised a toast to the “love, support, and friendship,” of those in the room, which included Law Roach, Paris Jackson, Brooks Nader, Fai Khadra, and The White Lotus alumni Lukas Gage and Simona Tabasco.

Gathering around the tables for a family-style meal, the constant chatter over dim sum, Peking duck, and other delicious shareables stopped only for an impromptu sing-along of Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own.” By the time the pavlovas were served, most guests were already moving toward the door, whether for Champagne, cocktails, or cigarettes.

No longer separated by a table, Gage and Nader exchanged a warm hug, while new friends—but each a long-term supporter of the designer—Ganesh and Tabasco bid farewell. For Simkhai, who mid-dinner planted a big kiss on Roach’s cheek, it all felt very much like home. “I just love to celebrate community,” he told Vogue.

“I feel like Simkhai is what it is because of the people that have shown up for me time after time and I wanted to do something to celebrate them and bring people together that I love.” —Carita Rizzo Roger Vivier If there was ever a good time to let your archive fully bloom, it’s Paris Fashion Week.

Ergo, Roger Vivier invited friends of the maison to get an up-close look at how the past informs the present while unveiling the Spring 2027 collection. To celebrate the latest fantasy-fueled offering, aptly titled Vivier en Fleur, and give a tour of the awe-inspiring archives, creative director Gherardo Felloni was joined by muses and familiar faces alike. Among them, actress Supriya Ganesh, stepping out in the time-honored curved Choc heel.

“I just found out they called it ‘choc’ because of ‘le choc’—and how it shocked people when it was first released,” she told Vogue. Within the new collection, the Belle Vivier paved the way. Felloni reworked the house’s signature into a daytime-ready style set on a spool heel pulled from the archive, with a wider buckled vamp that makes it feel wearable for a woman on the move, in mustard suede and glossy patent.

Elsewhere, the classic Belle Vivier appeared in denim—a first in RV history—jazzed up with precious embellishment, as demonstrated by an artisan who created one live on site. Lace, a fixture of Monsieur Vivier’s own 1960s designs, has also found its way onto sneakers in satin and embroidered versions, while the butterfly, first seen in the house’s Pièce Unique couture collection in July, fluttered onto satin jewel bags, pointed mules, and shoes worth dreaming about.

—Freya Drohan DVF Friday night during Paris Fashion Week is always bound to be an eventful one, and this time around, the place to be was at Sant Ambroeus in Saint-Germain-des-Prés on the city’s Left Bank. The fashion set–Marisa Berenson, Chloe King, Suzy Menkes, and Vogue’s Chloe Malle among them–joined Diane von Furstenberg’s artistic director Henry Zankov to fête his debut collection since taking the reins at the label.

The dînatoire offered a reprieve for guests arriving straight from the evening’s runway shows, with the restaurant’s dark wood paneling and velvet banquettes providing a welcome and warm setting on the first chilly night of autumn. Traditional risotto allo zafferano and chicken Milanese were served among small bites and plenty of flowing Champagne (a necessary food group during PFW, mais oui!).

Large-scale floral arrangements and sculptural lighting anchored the room as attendees mixed and mingled, chatting about the week’s biggest moments and the ever-changing designer landscape of the fashion capital. But the hottest topic, of course, was Zankov’s new offering for DVF.

Last month’s New York Fashion Week show was the first for the brand in a decade, during which time Zankov was the knitwear director for the label before starting his own namesake line in 2020.
