the clipboard blues outside the crillon

July 1, 2008  11:47 am

Elbaz

Alber Elbaz, that cuddly master of the silk dress, certainly drew a crowd for the party for his collaboration with Acne Jeans last night—or maybe that was due to the shirtless hunks in denim short shorts, but we’ll say it was Elbaz. Regardless, there was quite a hubbub outside the Crillon, where more than a hundred people were stranded on the pavement. And we’re not talking your average French party crashers either; some of the biggest names of couture week—including a prince, a famous DJ, a fashion heiress, the daughter of a French cinema icon, and two Paris-based couture-buying sisters—were forced to wait as publicists stamped their feet at the overzealous Crillon security. “They should invent some way to NOT forward Evites,” one peeved invitee said inside the fête. “No party is worth this.” Some would beg to differ, however. Especially when a birthday cake was brought out with sparklers that singed (ever so slightly) the backs of the beefcake boys. Although many thought it was for Elbaz himself—his birthday was just three weeks ago—it turned out the cake was for the birth of his collaboration with Acne Jeans.
