BELLA HADID HOSTS CHROME HEARTS PARTY

It’s always nice to have some good friends, especially in Paris (and if they happen to work in fashion at right positions, you love them even more - truth be told). I was about to sleep on Tuesday night in my hotel room after long and tiring flight (and few hours of walk) when one of my friends texted me that we could go to one very good party. I was ready in...30 seconds, went to Metro and the last stop was Le Carmen, where Bella Hadid, Virgil Abloh, Kendall Jenner & other close friends of mine were waiting me to arrive (hah)!

Chrome Hearts was the organizer behind the event at one of the most famous Parisian clubs Le Carmen. Bella Hadid (who has already collaborated with the brand previously) Virgil Abloh and Jesse Jo Stark were hosts of the VIP-crowded party. Virgil has been playing one of his many roles this night - DJ-ing from the wooden Off-White branded table with the sickest playlist I have witnessed recently, ranging from Travis Scott to Corey Hart. Kendall Jenner has been encouraging his bff Bella who actually stood with Virgil at the DJ table and looked absolutely immaculate wearing lace corset & tiny sunglasses. Here’s my video that I took before my phone went from 1% to 0, so I did not really snap a lot (no selfies, nothing, cause the phone did not have this party scheduled and was almost dead).

Such parties are usually great spot to hear all the latest rumors of the industry (and cocktails also reaaaally help) and that was no exception - most of them actually talked about upcoming Hedi Slimane’s CELINE debut show and I have heard some really optimistic (hoping that Hedi would pay homage to at least bit of brand’s heritage and won’t erase all like he did on CELINE’s Instagram) and others clearly were not happy with his recent collection previews and mentioned that Slimane could not really develop himself over the years and is stuck at one single (mostly black & white, skinny, leather, etc) vision and doubted it would work for CELINE. Some complained about Dior’s previous day’s runway show but all were stunned with Saint Laurent’s spectacle in front of the Eiffel (that actually took place minutes before the party started).

You could spot a lot familiar faces - Supermodel Cindy Crawford, Kaia Gerber, Dree Hemingway, Sara Sampaio, Jordan Barret, Caroline Vreeland, Jewellery Designer Loree Rodkin and more (besides, some really annoying Influencers were also present there) - you can check all the party guests and judge their looks here, and here.
