While Monday everyone was still busy talking about last week’s Demolition Party, (where yes, Jude Law participated in the destruction of a French hotel, and no I was in Corsica and didn’t go) tomorrow no doubt everyone will be talking about last night’s Lacoste-Visionaire party, held on the Paquebot on the River Seine. The party was to celebrate Lacoste’s 75th anniversary, and to sneak a peak at Visionaire 54 Sport, a collaboration between the two brands.

Thanks to a pretty lax schedule I go to my fair share of parties in Paris, often under the guise of whatever party being the best party in Paris (or else why go, right?). My friend Taylor (aka Joy@institutedubonheur) claims her parties in the Jardin Bagatelle top the list; friends of Andre (no last name) say Le Baron on any night of the week is the best in town (though don’t ask me how a superlative can span a full week at a time; that seems wrong, right?) But if Joy can unite Paris’ best and brightest (and ultimately have a tiresome blue-blooded mix) and the Baron’s doormen can filter out who’s hot from who’s not (until the club becomes almost frigid from coolness, despite having the best music in town) last night demonstrated that a party can be hot, AND exclusive, AND at the same time really fuckin’ fun!

Amidst the fanfare of swimming pools and water gun fights, Lacoste kindly provided bathing suits and pool toys for those inclined to take a dip, such as Christian Louboutin, Mark Ronson, and Ellen Von Unwerth. Meanwhile, on deck Margherita Missoni and Karl Lagerfeld took shelter from the debauchery in the VIP section of the helm in deck chairs adorned with the beautiful images we appreciate so much from Visionaire. While getting in was not so easy, (a special thanks to the lovely Melissa Little over at Lacoste for her persistence in getting myself and Pucci-designer-gone-photographer for the evening, Devika Dass, into the party) once in, there was something for everyone. The party boys got to party, (half naked in pools and on the dance floor) the fashionistas got to be fashion-ey, the drinks were cold, the music: awesome, the see-and be seen-ers both got their rocks off, and we had a blast! We can’t wait for the book in the fall.
