The carpet and walls were lined in zebra, the Queens of Noize were performing and attendees danced until the early hours. But it sounds like–more than anything–the Kate Moss for Longchamp party at Paris’ Club Ritz was all about the Benjamins. For those too young to get that reference, we’re talking about money.
