On July 3, Fendi celebrated the 15th anniversary of the creation of the Baguette bag by hosting a memorable party at the iconic Colette store in Paris. Hosted by Silvia Venturini and Karl Lagerfeld, the party offered its guests an opportunity to socialize as well as a look into the Baguette’s storied archives. Venturini was on hand to sign copies of the new Fendi Baguette book published by Rizzoli, while Lagerfeld’s limited edition t-shirts for Colette sold out that evening. The fashion world’s style stars came out in droves for the party with Olivia Palermo, Poppy Delevingne, and even Haider Ackermann in attendance.

Also on July 3, Louis Vuitton opened the doors to its brand new boutique in Paris. The first of its kind for the brand, the store carries only fine jewelry and watches, and includes an adjacent fine-jewelry workshop. It is located only meters away from the first Louis Vuitton store established in 1854 on rue Neuve-des-Capucines. Vuitton’s most loyal patrons, including Natalia Vodianova, Sofia Coppola, and Kirsten Dunst, were in attendance at the grand opening.

On July 1, Atelier Versace hosted one of the most talked-about pre-collection dinners of the season. The dinner took place at the Ritz hotel in Paris and was attended by Versace’s front row guests, such as Jessica Alba and Milla Jovovich. It doesn’t get much more exclusive than this.
