Givenchy A-Go-Go

The Design House's Post-Show Bash

Givenchy's Wednesday-night dinner at the Elysée Montmartre was a throwback to old-world elegance. The lighting was an artful manipulation of candlelight and shadows. A string quartet played skillfully as guests like Emmanuelle Alt and Dita Von Teese filed into their seats at the orchid-filled tables. But no sooner had the dessert plates been cleared than the door scene turned into a frenzied mosh pit, with after-party invitees jostling to squeeze inside. Even Chloë Sevigny had a hard time getting found in the shuffle. "That wasn't easy," she sighed, catching her breath at the top of the stairs. "But it was worth it." Revelers like Liya Kebede flooded the dance floor. Dancing to the musical stylings of 2 Many DJ's, the soft-spoken mother of two giggled, "When I'm not in New York, I get a little wild."
