We can't go through any fashion week without a little front row chatter with Elle's always-delightful Joe Zee. At Chloé, we discovered the activity he always finds time for while in town. Quelle shocker!

Where's Anne Slowey?
She's back in New York. We've all been splitting up, conquering and dividing.

What have you seen that's stuck out?
I only got here on Saturday, but Givenchy was so pristine and elegant. It was really pure and so gorgeous. I missed Dior, so Saint Laurent is my most anticipated.

What do you do for fun in Paris?
I go to dance class.

Seriously?
I take hip hop classes. There's a dance studio called Studio Harmonic where professional dancers go. I usually go at the end, but I try to sneak in my moment here.

Having trouble finding hip hop classes in Manhattan?
No, I go all the time in New York and Los Angeles!

What's your favorite hip hop song?
It changes all the time, but right now the Nicki Minaj song "The Boys" featuring Cassie.

Back to mag matters...Who's the friendliest editor you see at the shows?
Robbie Meyers! I get to sit next to her all the time and talk to her the most. She's very open and easygoing. But an editor from a competitor?

We'll call them your industry colleagues...
Linda Wells. She's so fun. I ran into her at Alexander Wang's party, and we got to hip hop [dance] together.

Where do you stay here?
We stay at the Park Hyatt. The Ritz was a little too Marie Antoinette, powder puff, cosmetic box for me, but it's iconic. I would never complain. And now that it's under renovation, I won't get to have a drink at the bar!
