Vogue Paris Foundation Gala Dinner

Back in February, it was announced that a fund to benefit the contemporary collections of the Palais Galliera, Museum of Fashion would be created. Last night, a gala dinner showcased some of the museum’s recent acquisitions.

“This is a crucial place for the heritage of fashion,” explained Olivier Saillard, the museum’s director, in his introductory speech, adding: “Some create the clothes, others buy them, some others photograph them, and lastly, the museum welcomes the pieces to preserve their history.”

Before dinner, Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, Peter Brant II and Harry Brant, Charlotte Casiraghi, and Mario Testino enjoyed glasses of champagne under the pillared arcades of the museum’s exceptional round courtyard and admired the pieces by Balenciaga, Burberry, Céline, Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Prada, Versace, and others that were prominently on display.

After taking in the collection, everyone found their seats and settled in for a dinner of lobster salad followed by veau confit. Alexander Wang commented on the importance of putting together something special like this for the fashion industry and for those who appreciate these beautiful pieces. “There are good vibes all round,” he joked.
