“I believe in the Yves Saint Laurent woman who either has her hands in the pockets of her pantsuit or is holding her lover’s hand. She doesn’t need a bag.”

Le Bal // Paris

Black Tie. Smoky Eye.

Just around the turn from the Arc de Triomphe behind a gated walled entrance was a glowing evening of artistic collaboration and celebration of M·A·C Cosmetics & fashion icon Carine Roitfeld at the dreamy Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild. It is no surprise that a woman who is known for her smoky eye and “violating the codes of bourgeois elegance” would find her way into the heart of M·A·C and bring a new collection of makeup to the world table so that we may all be that cool french chic.

The night was alive through the flashes of cameras as the soul crushing voice of Paloma Faith echoed through the historic french rooms with graceful ballet dancers twisting and turning among famous designers sipping champagne and super models taking the air out of the room. It was…

A night to remember.
