Karl Lagerfeld is the man for many reasons. This is further evidenced by the fact that the 70-year-old fashion designer held not one, but two, parties during the Paris Fashion Week festivities — after also having presented his new Karl Lagerfeld Fall/Winter 2009 Ready-to-Wear Collection on March 10, 2009.
The first party — to celebrate the launch of Another Fashion Book — was hosted by the German-born designer at the Chanel boutique on rue Cambon in Paris’ first arrondissement. Lagerfeld also opened up Coco Chanel’s famous private apartment for the star-studded affair.
Co-hosting the event was publisher Jefferson Hack, also known for being Kate Moss’ ex and the father of her daughter. Also in attendance were Moss herself, along with her current boyfriend, Jamie Hince, Milla Jovovich, Lily Allen, Marc Ronson, Freida Pinto, Pam Hogg, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, photographer Ellen von Unwerth, and lots of model-types.
The second of Lagerfeld’s parties took place the following night. The famous fashion designer hosted tihs party for Fendi, the other fashion house for which he designs. Music for the event was performed by Beth Ditto and her band, The Gossip. Ditto was requested by Karl Lagerfeld himself to play at the Fendi party at the VIP Club on rue de Rivoli in Paris.
She was wearing an outfit designed by Lagerfeld — though it was mostly off of her by the end of the evening — which consisted of a black feathery tunic, black sequined bra, black mini-skirt, and black platform shoes — all of which matched her jet black hair and heavy eyeliner. After performing with her band, Beth Ditto proceeded to stage dive, wearing little else than her underwear and fishnet stockings. Talk about a party!
Also in attendance were Marc Ronson, Ellen von Unwerth, Alexa Chung, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, co-host Silvia Fendi, and, of course, Kate Moss and her boyfriend.
Elle UK noted that while Moss could have easily gone rocker chic for the Fendi party, — especially given the vibe — “in appropriate Parisian style she eschewed her trade mark skinny jeans for a shimmering, silver full length gown and matching coat from Fendi, and also made sure boyfriend Jamie Hince perfectly coordinated with her look in head-to -toe grey.”
