Join Susan amidst the Deyrolle taxidermy at the restaurant Lapérouse to see Catherine Baba‘s collection of pâte de verre jewelry for Gripoix. Continue to the LONDON show ROOMS for an intimate preview of Fall 2012 lines from designer David Koma and milliner Piers Atkinson–and, finally, attend a party chez L’Éclaireur, for the unveiling of a collaboration between rock & roll-oriented Simon Azoulay and a very talented newcomer, Aurélie Demel.

This was the third year for New York City’s Fashion’s Night Out, and it was certainly a happening event: our team covered the waterfront, from the new Michael Kors flagship in Rockefeller Center to Manolo Blahnik on 54th Street (where Sarah Jessica Parker was signing shoes) to Madison Avenue’s Bally, Barneys and Frette stores and a final wrap up down in Soho. It was amazing to see how many people poured out onto the streets and sidewalks. Thank goodness, it was a beautiful night, and a great time was had by all!

On July 4th, Independence Day (and the first day of the Haute Couture Fall 2011 shows), an American in Paris– c’est moi – launched her first fragrance at Quintessence, a small, charming candle boutique at 38, rue de l’Université.

Take a video journey with Susan and plunge into the Bal Noir, one of the hottest tickets during Men’s Fashion Week in Paris.

Join the glittering sea of partygoers, and dance until dawn breaks on the Place de la Concorde!
