Farewell dinner

Fashion Week ended on a high note last night with LVMH / Louis Vuitton hosting a candlelit multi-course celebrity sit-down dinner beginning with champagne and hors d'oeuvres at Michelin-starred Hexagone.
 

Talented chef-de-cuisine Mathieu Pacaud formerly of L'Ambroisie was on hand to greet guests upon arrival.

Once again Fashion Week will descend on Paris in September with endless parties, poseurs and Pretty People. Here, luxury bag brand Louis Vuitton struts samples from its shoe collection. That's right. Shoes.
