The Paris SS 2011 fashion week from Tuesday September 28 to the October promises to be eventful. During this week in Paris, there will be 91 catwalks and an impressive number of official and un-official parties and aftershows. For these reasons the Ten Days in Paris team has decided to deliver you some good plans in order avoid getting lost in this week of debauchery.
Our favorite parties:

Maybe the party of the year: Happy birthday Uniqlo, comptoir des cotonniers and Princesse Tam Tam. Uniqlo has been in France for 1 year, Comptoir des Cotonniers is 15 yo and Princesse Tam Tam 25. The group Fast, retailing owner of these brands, has given the responsibility for the party to la Clique (the guys from le Baron, la Fidelite, Chez Moune…). This will take place in a Hotel Particulier in the 8th district.

The Grazia Masquerade Ball Party
A masked ball organized by Grazia and staged by the Club Sandwich Duo (Zaffuto & Emanuel D’Orazio) introducing I Blame Coco, Roisin Murphy, Dan Williams, Horse Meat Disco. All of this in a dream setting: l’Opera Garnier.
Where to go during fashion week
Le Baron: No need to be introduced, for the past five years the former bordello has been the place to gather for celebrities from fashion, music, cinema…
Le Montana: The Left Bank little brother of le Baron in size but not in crowd is one of the hotspots of the Parisian night, especially during fashion week. A high probability of seeinf Beigbeder or a Lagarfeld with a group of models. The door is a bit picky so be prepared.
Le Chacha : This is a hushed and intimate spot in les Halles area. During fashion week some prestigious aftershows will take place there (Sonia Rykiel, Gareth Pugh…)
Cointreau Privé : Pop up bar in a splendid place once owned by the Hermes family. Perfect to have a drink in good company before going to an after show or a fashion week party.
La Fidelite : This pretty brasserie owned by le Baron team has a small and cozy basement, perfect for enjoying a glass of cheap wine and dancing. Especially during this fashion week.
