Which super refused to do Balenciaga because she found out that part of her hair would need to be shaved off to fit the runway look aesthetic? C'est vrai---but we'll never tell...

Yes, Maison Martin Margiela started exactly 49 minutes late. And yes, half the audience was damp (to put it mildly). But upon exiting the tent below Pont Alexandre III,the crowd encountered a full brass band playing a live version of the music that signaled the end of the show---perfectly timed so those exiting didn't miss a second. Bien fait!

What better way to celebrate Grazia France's first anniversary than with...balloons? The mag enlisted a coterie of chicsters (interns, peut-être?) to hand out balloons proclaiming "Grazia, un an deja?" on one side and "chic!" on the other. Frida Gustavsson was just one beauty who grabbed one en route to Lanvin.

Because Fendi doesn't party halfway. (Remember the Amy Winehouse performance? What about Beth Ditto?) This time around, make sure your schedule for Sunday night is kept wide open: Duran Duran will be performing at Fendi O', the traveling private club run just for the fashion house. Expect a set of classics, but the band will also play one as-yet-unreleased tune that will be on an upcoming David Bowie tribute album. Expect Karl, slews of supers, and more than one generation of Le Bons...
