CHANEL @ Grand Palais, AW 2010 Paris March 9th 2010 Giving away COCO red lipstick / Freeeeezzzing
After Stella McCartney yesterday morning & Peter Doherty' s secret gig @ Joseph yesterday evening, ROCKERPARIS stays in the fashion world with the only one fashion show NOT to be missed : CHANEL
The production is massive ... again should I say ! Ice baby Ice. It's freezing in Paris for the last few days , so this show in Arctic territories feels like beeing at home. As you can see fur is back in force ( don't know if it's fake or real ).

There are always many interesting guests in the audience, many times including famous musicians, today apart from Vanessa Paradis I didn't spot any major celebrity ( Micky Green was there but it doesn't count).
Peter Doherty @ Joseph store Avenue Montaigne, Paris March 8th, 10:15 PM
We left Canal+ a bit late as DJ Mime wanted a pic with the bass player of Fanfarlo. So we arrived as Peter was singing the 4th song of his set ( "Can't stand me now"). Lucky to be there as it's a secret show for the Fashion week. It's taking place @ Joseph store just in front of the 5* hotel Plaza Athénée on the very posh Avenue Montaigne.
Lots of very sexy girls and the champagne is flowing but nothing to eat ( what a fucking waster Pete would say). Crisis ? The place is tiny but the shop is far from beeing packed maybe a 150 people. Peter is on his own on the acoustic guitar, the set is full of wellknown songs.played one after another like at the Fleche d'Or in January ( click for review,sertlist, Pics & video). No talking between songs, he's probably here to make some quick bucks. Not really the audience you'll see at rock gigs, very 'fashion'. The Plastiscines are here, french actress Emma De Caunes, Irina & Mlle Agnes as well.
The 2 French ballerinas are dancing on 2-3 songs. Cool set ( about an hour ) in perfect conditions but it seemed that a lot of people in the back didn't give a shit of what was going on on the stage. Anyway we enjoyed the show and that's the most important.
Setlist ( From Oliver Peel ) not in complete order check HERE for more Pics including sexy girls ( tomorrow ) - Last Of The English Roses - Arcady - Broken Love Song - Can't Stand Me Now (Libertines) - What A Waster (Libertines) - Music When The Lights Go Out (Libertines) - Beg, Steal Or Borrow (Babyshambles) - Don't Look Back Into The Sun (Libertines) - Albion (Babyshambles) - Delivery (Babyshambles) - Back From The Dead (Babyshambles) - Fuck Forever (Babyshambles) - What Katie Did (Libertines)

Fanfarlo @ L' Album de la Semaine Paris March 8th 2010 8:00 PM Setlist & bass player with DJ Mime
Fanfarlo are doing a bit of promo in Paris to support their latest album , we already saw them in January @ Maroquinerie ( click for review,Pics, setlist & video ). At the time I didn't know them at all and I thought that the show was impressive.
This short gig ( 35 min ) confirmed what I thought of them, they're just GREAT, melodies are very good, they're like a more relax version of Arcade Fire, they don't have their power ( only 5 musicians compare to a dozen ) but that's what I like about Fanfarlo.
They will be back @ Trabendo in April don't miss them.
Stella McCartney @ Opéra Garnier AW 2010, Paris March 8th 2010 Backstage Paul with his daughter and girlfriend.
Difficult to get up in the morning even for Stella McCartney's Autumn-Winter fashion Collection in the beautiful Opéra Garnier. No pics of models as Patrice missed the show , he was just on time to get a coffee backstage and take a few snaps of Paul.
I've been told Paul McCartney arrived yesterday night by Eurostar. After the show he stayed a bit to talk to a few people answer a couple of interviws before making a quick exit by the side door.
Don't forget to have a look on ROCKERPARIS for our coverage of Paul McCartney's gig @ Paris Bercy in december 2009 with full setlist, videos and DOZENS of great pictures
