Blogger infiltrates the Crillon Ball
| posted Dec 2, 2009
It's only fitting that the year bloggers hit the front row seats at
womenswear fashion week a blogger would be one of the 24 lucky debutantes at the Crillon Ball. Plus Swide takes a closer look at the creation of a fairytale dress for
Clint Eastwood's daughter, Francesca Eastwood.
The 24 debutantes at Bal Crillon des Debutantes in Paris.
Although we were secretly hoping he'd pay a visit - the rugged star of the
silver screen Clint Eastwood stayed away from
Bal Crillon des Debutantes in Paris held Saturday night as his daughter Francesca Fisher Eastwood, and wife
actress Frances Fisher joined 24 debutantes
and their gowns for the 9th annual event at the Crillon Hotel.
Like a scene from
Gossip Girl - we can almost hear the coo-ing, as a veritable who's who from the the fashion world dressed the lucky twenty-four chosen ones. Francesca Eastwood and Frances fisher opted for
Dolce & Gabbana, Angelica Hicks wore vintage
Lanvin, Carinthia Pearson an archive piece of
Alexander McQueen whilst Autumn Whitaker (daughter of Forest) wore a
Jason Wu gown. The moral of the story? Perhaps it's not always wise to opt for vintage or archive pieces.
I
t's reported the evening created its own set of real-life Cinderellas – debutantes who couldn’t hold onto their vintage couture dresses - reportedly having to return their show-stopping numbers to the designer’s archive.
