Inside Fashion Month’s most secret party
During the making of our 7th print issue, we realized how easily the industry forgets those who aren’t Creative Directors at major design houses. The designers working behind the scenes at luxury or independent labels—the brains and hands that keep this industry together—are rarely talked about, let alone celebrated. That’s what inspired us last year to throw a party at the end of Paris Fashion Week, just for them. A night where they could come together, catch up with old friends, have a drink, and, most importantly, enjoy an evening dedicated to them.
After our first Designers’ Night, everyone asked us to do it again—so we did. We found a cozy spot, invited a friend to DJ (Shout out to Carlo), and hit our laptops to email every in-house designer we know, from Louis Vuitton to Balenciaga, and smaller emerging labels in our network.
