Christian Dior Post-Show Cocktail Party

“It’s my eighteenth birthday today, so I feel like I’m on a high right now,” said front-row attendee Hailee Steinfeld. “I love Tokyo, it’s the one place in the world where I feel like I’m on another planet.” As lounge chairs and banquettes were set up on the vast runway, and the screen rolled back on the neon-lit bar, the celebratory atmosphere couldn’t have been more otherworldly at Kokugikan stadium.

Located in the Sumida district, the space usually plays host to sumo wrestling tournaments, but tonight, clearly fashion was the main event, with the city’s best-dressers out in full regalia.

Dior’s artistic director and man of the hour, Raf Simons, floated amongst a crowd that included Audrey Tautou, Leandra Medine, and Hanneli Mustaparta. “It was very chic, I love the line of the coats,” said the French actress who was pretty in an embellished pink jacket from the house’s spring 2015 collection.

As well-wishers raised their glasses of sake for a toast, editors Alexia Niedzielski and Elizabeth von Guttman compared notes. “It was my favorite show so far I think,” said von Guttman. “All the knits, all the sparkles. I want it all!” added Niedzielski. Thankfully you won’t have to wait a season to get your hands on their other new obsession the selfie stick. “It’s my first time in Tokyo and I’ve been using it everywhere,” said Niedzielski. With the likes of Olympia Scarry and Kiko Mizuhara partying into the evening, the opportunities for chic photo ops were plenty.
