Inside the Hottest Paris Fashion Week Parties

Balenciaga x Subculture Afters at La Java

The beloved queer party from LA, Subculture, teamed up with BFRND to throw a hot and smokey after party for the Balenciaga Fall 2025 show. This was an electric last hurrah for the creative director before announcing he was leaving the brand to go to Gucci. The party took place at La Java, a club built out in an Art Deco space dating back to 1925, now turned into a modern music venue. The crowd was treated to a number of hard hitting DJ sets and a live performance by ethereal pop princess, Alice Longyu Gao. The party made for a sexy, cigarette-filled, debaucherous send off to celebrate the end of the Demna-led Balenciaga era.

The 1989 Party at Pigalle Country Club

The 1989 brought out all the international cool kids of Europe and the US to get together at the beloved dive bar ironically named Pigalle Country Club. At what is essentially the Clandestino of Paris, the fashion week fun-seeking, Euro-sleaze crowd of models, stylists, groupies, artists, designers, photographers, lovers, writers and con artists gathered together to drink, smoke and celebrate the tytm9 x Chita Collab. The room was packed to the brim and a large crowd amassed outside the venue hoping to get in. Ultimately, there were more people hanging outside than inside. Smashing bottles, ripping cigs, sipping wine, making out, chatting it up and love all around — everyone was having a time. Milanese heartthrobs Riccardo Bozza and Niccolo Michielin, founders of the The 1989, sure know how to throw a party. Notable attendees included The Hellp, Meruert Tolegen, The Cobrasnake, Morgan Maher, ZEZENOTEXIST and Izzy Camina.

Casablanca Party at The Louvre

Casablanca took over The Louvre. Following their new collection that debuted earlier in the day, the brand celebrated with a party right on the runway. Situated in a corner of the Louvre right under the Place du Carousel, the party was nothing short of iconic. Filled with the models from the Fall 2025 show, friends of the brand and a sea of jetset fashionistas, everyone was having fun! Even the Casablanca mascots popped out for a dance. DJ sets by Carlita, Salome Le Chat and Ahmed Spins kept the rooming popping. Notable attendees included Cardi B, JID, Memphy, James Goldstein, Alec Monopoly and Anok Yai.

LVMH Prize Party at the Louis Vuitton Flagship

Delphine Arnault invited guests to a party at the LVMH Prize semi-final showroom to meet the designers and celebrate their collections. With cocktails flowing and hors d'oeuvres being passed around, the room was filled with excitement. People seemed to be particularly thrilled about the collections by Alainpaul, All-In, Meruert Tolegen and Yasmin Mansour. The room was filled with chatter and gossip as people discussed everything from how the shows had been so far that week, to speculations about who might win the LVMH Prize. Notable attendees included Anna Wintour, Ivy Getty, Jaden Smith, Guram Gvasalia and a number of other industry players.

Indie Salaire Party at Hotel Grand Amour

Paris is so Indie Salaire ("salaire" is French for "sleaze"). As a last hurrah to cap off the end of fashion week, an international crowd of models, fashion lovers, cool kids, degenerates and publicists gathered to hang out at the Hotel Grand Amour. DJ sets by ZEZENOTEXIST, Izzy Camina, Flirty800, Memphy and LIBERTANGO set the tone of the room, making the party a perfect send off for the week. With a 150-person capacity, a crowd formed outside waiting to get in. The smoking room was packed. It was a stylish crowd that had wholesome vibes with lots of wine, cigarettes and smiles. The party was co-hosted by me and The Cobrasnake. I’m a bit biased, but I had a great time. Notable attendees included everyone, because everyone is a superstar in the Weinberger x Cobrasnake universe! All love. Au revoir, Paris.
