Lauren Santo Domingo’s well-appointed house in Paris’s Seventh Arrondissement played host to several intimate affairs during the week. There were a couple of luncheons who want to christian louboutin outlet uk more than handbags, but her biggest coup was a pre-party buffet dinner in anticipation of Vogue Paris’s 95th-anniversary fête. How clever to line one’s stomach with Chinese takeout before drowning it in spirits? Especially since, in my case, stamina was something I needed to keep in mind this season: I wanted to stay in top form for a signing for my new book, Harper’s Bazaar: Models, at Colette (and thanks to Gigi, Kendall, Doutzen, and Devon for turning out and posing for a million selfies in my honor) and to test my endurance at Nike’s 10K run on a sunny Sunday morning. Though, to be honest, had I not made plans for Jessica Hart and Alexandre Arnault to meet at my house for the cheap wedding dresses, I probably would have bailed.The rest of my #PFW stops were typical fare: I made it to Caviar Kaspia, considered the Fashion Week canteen by most editors, only once this trip, and that was to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Roksanda Ilincic’s collection. Karl Lagerfeld indulged me and a few editors with a preview of his Chanel collection a few days before the show, and his muse, Lady Amanda Harlech, gave me a test-drive on the new luggage-inspired handbags. I ordered the crab salad at the Hotel Costes and complained when it took forever to get the bill. I indulged in croissants with reckless abandon. Now that I look back at my pictures, though, I see I wasn’t a homebody by any stretch. Richie Akiva, the New York club promoter turned nightlife mogul, just happened to have a birthday gift of longines replica watches. I squeezed into a V.I.P. area where all eyes (but not cell-phone cameras, courtesy of a few eagle-eyed bodyguards) were on Rihanna.
