Notes on Paris, So Far

by Britt Aboutaleb

1. Everyone here wears fur. Seriously, it’s incorporated into almost every outfit.

2. The only champagne I’ve seen was an empty bottle on the Boulevard Saint-Germain last night. 1-0 London.

3. I’ve been captivated by the politics of seating this season. In Paris, the Carines and Anna Della Russos sit in front, naturally, but I’ve seen Derek Blasberg and Glenn O’Brien sit second row while Kate Lanphear’s in the third.

4. Not fashion related, but they have pancakes at Starbucks. (I had to, it’s the only place I’m not embarrassed to order a coffee to take away).

5. A friend saw Charlotte Gainsbourg in the Shell (yes, gas station) mini-mart. She was browsing crackers.

6. The photo pits are huge.

7. There was a Fashion Week Daily reporter at Nina Ricci - but if they’re here where is the Parisian Daily???

In Milan, Kate Lanphear was a second-row regular, and at the men's shows I have seen Giovanna Battaglia (stylist for L'Uomo Vogue) second row.

Wanna hear a funny story: in London, at Aquascutum, I was left out with this Italian Vanity Fair stylist, who was standing at Aquascutum (barely made it through the door), front Row at Paul Smith, and various different seatings (or standings) at all other shows.

I wish I could spend a day in a PR's head. It must be entertaining!

first of all, who the f**k cares about derek blasberg? the fact that you would even bother to include him (no matter where he's seated) is ridiculous. he is the definition of a social predator and has no place being at any fashion show. he's a total leech.

That's an awfully hateful comment about Derek Blasberg. Which leads me to believe the poster is either a). a fat, hideous girl that Derek won't hang out with because they obviously have social issues; or b). a jealous, queeny gay that wishes he was Derek. Cause there must be something nice or endearing about the guy to have so many friends.
PS. Let's keep the comments a little more friendly, no? Hateful anonymous bashing is so pre-recession.
