OPENING PARTY – LA VUE
“A view to kill, a crowd to die for” Thats the opening statement that probably enhances best the exeprience offered on the Opening Party at La Vue. The crowd was on fire, The bar murdered us, and the Music brought us back to life. Probably one of the most epic of my young and fresh new year start. The all was orchestrated by my friends from La Clique, and the coolest social media agency on this side of the pond: Influence Digital

Interview: Carine Roitfeld
Although Carine Roitfeld is no longer the editor of French Vogue, she remains steadily at the perch of the fashion world, standing atop those super-high bondage-referencing heels that she partly made a staple of Parisian style (along with close-fitting pencil skirts, black leather, cinch-waist toppers, and if any woman dared follow her dictates, a little nipple). But la femme parisienne, which Roitfeld very much is, makes her own ground wherever she walks.
