Hi, and welcome to Line Sheet. Happy to be back on the clock ⏰, and happy to be in Paris, where the weather is fine and the trains run on time. It was quite the weekend here, and I didn’t even go to any parties. There was A$AP Rocky’s “surprise” show on Friday, Dries on Saturday, then Vogue World on Sunday. More on all that below, amid additional intel and observations from the center of the fashion world.
🚨🚨Programming note: Chris Black, the famous podcaster and Tory Burch’s No. 1 fan, joins me tomorrow on Fashion People to talk Men’s Fashion Week, Couture, Vogue World, being a brat, and more.

Stop embarrassing yourself and sign up for access to Puck immediately.

Mentioned in this issue: Vogue World, Anna Wintour, Condé Nast, Dries Van Noten, A$AP Rocky, the Antwerp Six, Gucci, Chitose Abe, Rihanna, Alexandre Arnault, Pharrell Williams, John Galliano, Josh Allen, Puig, LVMH, Gap Inc., Coperni, Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Roger Lynch, Steven Newhouse, Edward Enninful, Hermès, Cara Delevingne, and many more.

| All the fashion world’s power and malaise was concentrated in the Place Vendôme on Sunday night, where Anna Wintour’s third-annual Vogue World served as a veritable pre-Opening Ceremony for the forthcoming Paris Olympics, which owe their existence, in part, to LVMH, a principal sponsor of the Games and the second-largest company in Europe (after Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic). The event, itself, a sort of magazine spread come to life, featured a series of Parris Goebel-choreographed vignettes depicting a Parisian fantasy—there was a fencing team, equestrians on horseback (Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner), cater-waiters pirouetting with silver trays in hand, and flappers pseudo... |
