As Fashion Month winds down, V teamed up with Ray-Ban to keep the party going with a late-night takeover of the legendary Maxim’s de Paris. Hosted by supermodel Amelia Gray Hamlin amongst a star-studded crowd of tastemakers, musicians, and industry insiders from Nicola Formichetti, V of BTS, Nina Dobrev, Kit Butler, Barbara Palvin, Nicky Campbell, Alexander Roth, Inez & Vinoodh, Jordan Roth, Joy Sunday, Daphne Guinness, Guram Gvasalia, Ice Spice, Ellen von Unwerth, Corey Fogelmanis, Olivia Jade, Serge Ibaka, Natasha Poly, Karolina Kurkova, Meredith Duxbury, Natalia Bryant, Patti Wilson, and more, the night was one to remember.
The evening spotlighted Ray-Ban’s collaboration with French eyewear designer Alain Mikli. Against a backdrop of finely mixed tunes by DJ Courant and endless champagne courtesy of Moët & Chandon, guests mingled before a show-stopping live performance by Grammy-nominated R&B artist Jacob Lusk, which electrified the room.
The evening paid homage to the spirit of post-disco singer Sylvester, whose anthems like “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” overtook the San Francisco and New York City club scene and defined the artist as a beacon of self-expression. Nearly 40 years after his death, that retro essence was felt all the way in Paris, channeling a sense of artistry and individuality that both V and Ray-Ban uphold.
Special thanks to Moët & Chandon, Ali Kavoussi, Tommy Chiabra, and everyone who joined us amid a whirlwind week of shows!
