Fashion and sport meet at Place Vendôme for the next edition of Vogue World!
As Vogue magazine reports, when Vogue World launched in 2022, it unspooled in downtown New York City as a street-fair-slash-fashion-show with all the makings of a legendary night. Models graced an openair runway, Lil Nas X performed while flanked by the Hadid sisters, and hot pastrami sandwiches were served courtesy of Michael Kors and Katz’s Deli.
When the event hopped the pond for Vogue World: London in 2023, an opening night in the West End was reimagined at the historic Theatre Royal Drury Lane: Annie Lennox serenaded the crowd with “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” FKA Twigs sang alongside Rambert dancers, and “The Supers“—Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turlington—took a surprise walk down the runway. The star-studded event featured a stirring red carpet and raised £2 million for various British arts organizations.
This year, Paris makes trois! The fashion and revelry continues, with Vogue World coming to life in Paris on the legendary Place Vendôme, surrounded by haute couture ateliers at the center of the First Arrondissement. Under the spotlight, this global event, broadcast live, promises a plunge into the exhilarating world of French fashion, featuring the emblematic fashion houses and designers of the City of Light, all in an electric atmosphere.
And as Sortir a Paris reports, it was none other than the empress of fashion, Anna Wintour, who announced the news! The editor-in-chief of Condé Nast took advantage of her visit to Paris Fashion Week Autumn-Winter 2024-2025 to reveal a few details about the new edition of Vogue World. The event will feature stylists Carine Roitfeld and Ib Kamara (Off-White), make-up artist Pat McGrath and will be orchestrated by Parris Goebel, the renowned choreographer behind Rihanna’s spectacular shows.
Vogue World Paris coincides with Olympic Day and the start of Haute Couture Fashion Week, barely a month before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In a burst of glamour and passion, the event will mix runway shows, live concerts and performances to pay tribute to the Games’ opening ceremonies, while celebrating 100 years of fashion, sport, and Paris. This third edition will put the spotlight on ten sporting disciplines, each closely linked to a French fashion theme since 1924, the last date of the Olympic Games in Paris, from athletics to breakdance, fencing and equestrian sports.
While some have already spent their budget to attend the Olympic Games opening ceremony, others may well prefer to reserve that sum for Vogue World Paris. Whatever the case, you’ll need to be able to afford it! If so, you’d better hurry, because tickets are literally and figuratively expensive, and very limited.
Beyond the glitz and glamour of the catwalks, Vogue is committed to donating part of the proceeds from ticket sales to the Paris 2024 solidarity ticketing program, in partnership with Secours Populaire, giving everyone the chance to experience the magic of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
