Thank you E., it was an amazing party.

Unfortunately couldn't make it to the party, folks were in Paris and just announced the engagement to them so didn't leave their hotel till midnight. We did spy Eugene and Arto at the Julius show though, we were just behind you guys to the left. ;)

Thank you E., it was an amazing party.

You are welcome! I thought the party was a great success! Never seen Silencio packed like this. And Niki Pauls rocked!

Next time, dii. And don't be shy - I love meeting forum members. One tribe.

[Dreavan]

Yes the music was just awesome and the Silencio so crowded ... but with a nice bunch of people. I met so many interesting people really looking forward to meeting other people to share some ideas and discuss about it.

Had the chance for a small talk with Boris and Uma Wang too so quite a great experience so far.

I hope to be there next season :)

Boris was quite open and not so private as before this season, pretty much a lot of people were able to have a small talk with him after his show, it was a great experience after visiting several shows and not meeting him, to finally meet him this season.

Wish I was the SZ party, I returned the day before.
Faust, Is the next one is in January? or also one in September?

Breakdown of what? I publish a summary of my impressions every season on the magazine's website. The article is in the fashion media section.

550, I don't go for women's, so, January.

Questions about Fashion Week Paris

Hello StyleZeitgeist Friends,

This is my 2nd Post here so if I'm doing something wrong please tell me .

I'm planing to go to Men's Fashion Week SS/17 September 27 2016 – October 5 2016 "Ready to wear" with my brother.
I have some Questions concerning it, because it will be my first time attending a Fashion Week.
I would be very thankful for any advice.

We would have invites, if we would go, to RICK OWENS, DRIES VAN NOTEN, VETEMENTS, YOHJI YAMAMOTO, ANN DEMEULEMEESTER, HAIDER ACKERMANN, SAINT LAURENT, BORIS BIDJAN SABERI and maybe some more. (Not bought)
I heard we should stay in close proximity within those Venues.
We're planning to go by car from Switzerland to Paris and leave it at the Hotel.

What is more interesting, "Ready to wear" or "Men's Fashion" Week?

I read, that when we want to visit other shows we must buy Tickets, right?
What content should be in the mail, when we contact the sellers?

Have we got enough time to move from one venue to the next?

How should we move? By foot right?

Do you wear outfits day for day or show to show? Is it OK if we're dressed in RO at (per example) DRIES VAN NOTEN if we haven't got time to change?

Is it a good Idea to drive to Paris or would you recommend us to travel per plane?

We would love to attend some Parties in the evenings, how do we get invites or do we have to "buy us in"? We would also love to attend the SteilZeitgeist Party posted by FAUST if there will be one.


Thank you in advance

Before you go too far with your planning and all your questions, you may need to get your dates right. Men's week for shows is in June. If you go to Paris in September-October you will be going to the Women's week not the Men's and all the shows taking place will be for women's collections. Also, the invitations to shows are not bought, you will need to be invited. Normally, you need to be in the trade or related to the interests of the firm (buyer, journalist, blogger, colleague, cool person, celebrity etc.), or know someone running the show well enough to get an invitation. Fashion students and fans often develop very innovative tricks and techniques. Have fun and good luck- but make sure you are going to the right week you want to see... cheers, Geoffrey

Hello StyleZeitgeist Friends,

This is my 2nd Post here so if I'm doing something wrong please tell me .

I can't tell if you're being serious or trolling, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.. I would recommend starting your adveture by googling "fashion week" to find out what it is.

"A fashion week is a fashion industry event, lasting approximately one week, wherein fashion designers, brands or "houses" display their latest collections in runway shows to buyers and the media."

While this is all true, it's also undeniably true that fashion weeks are sort of a playground for some people who want to loiter around shows, whose life goals are to be noticed and photographed or to feel "in". Perhaps this is what you are asking about? If so, sure you can do that, but you won't get to most shows - I'd say 0-1 out of the ones you mention unless you have an actual reason to be there (or good contacts).
