“I am delighted that Vogue World has found its third home here in Paris,” Anna Wintour, Chief Content Officer, Condé Nast, and Global Editorial Director, Vogue, announced today from the Ritz Paris. “If Vogue World: New York was a street fair, and Vogue World: London was a glamorous night at the theater—supporting arts and cultural organizations in London—Paris will be a kind of opening ceremony; one that celebrates 100 years of fashion and sport, as well as this extraordinary city.” Wintour was joined by an illustrious group: Bruno Pavlovsky, Executive President of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode; designers Simon Porte Jacquemus, Olivier Rousteing, Marine Serre, and Pharrell Williams; and a number of French Olympians, including fencer Enzo Lefort.
Williams, who relocated to Paris to take the helm at Louis Vuitton Menswear, followed Wintour’s remarks, noting his anticipation for Vogue’s arrival in the City of Light. “Vogue World: Paris will spotlight the best of what is truly French style; both what we see on our runways, and what appears on our avenues and boulevards.” Pharrell added, “It’s that inclusive spirit that has long made this city a haven for artists, and what continues to make Parisian fashion so extraordinary.”
