Bienvenue! Inside GQ’s Mega Paris Fashion Week Bash

Paris Fashion Week Men’s is basically summer camp for menswear enthusiasts from around the world. There are household-name designers and buzzy emerging talents. There are planeloads of celebrities—so many that it makes Coachella look like a barnyard square dance. And, of course, there are the stylists and photographers and models and influencers and writers that make the fashion world go round.

Season in and season out, there’s one campfire around which the whole vibrant scene gathers: the biannual GQ party at L’Avenue. Presented by Levi’s, the latest edition kicked off with DJ Honey on the ones and twos. The dance floor was thumping in no time as a fashion week wrecking crew pulled up: chart-toppers like Quavo, Miguel, and Troye Sivan; actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Natasha Lyonne, Jeremy O. Harris, and Taylor Zakhar Perez; hoopers like Damian Lillard, football pros like Stefon Diggs, tennis stars like Reilly Opelka; and many, many more. As guests sipped Belvedere martinis and Woodford Reserve cocktails, Zack Bia took the aux cord and kept the party going late into the night.
