Cinderella getting ready in her room at the Grand Hyatt hotel, to go to the Great Wall to see the fantabulous Fashion Show held by Fendi and hosted by Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Fendi, Bernard Arnault, LVMH CEO. (Well no picture of me as I am doing my own hair in my room. Nothing fabulous about it:)….

We are on our way in a beige Mercedes Benz. Each celebrity has her own car, also there is a long wagon of the same car, same color getting on the highway.

Voila la Grande Muraille!!! (here the Geat Wall!!!)

Also Fendi had so many beige bus taking VIP to the event, one hour drive from center Beijing.

From the inside of our car…. we arrived!

We are told to stay in the car so that Riyo could have her hair touched-up. (hum.. we did not even open the window!? anyway…)

I guess you did not know it takes so much energy and people to arrive on a red carpet…

is that safe???

 

Et voila 2 frozen ones…It was SO cold!! We are standing on one of the oldest stone-floor on earth.

Precious Rie san with Riyo, the 2 women celebrities from Japan.

Riyo enters this historic place with soccer star Hide Nakata and the Princess of Tibet. The Pricess normally wears the typical dress of her country and she was seen for the first time publicly wearing western clothes.

Follow me !

Finally arriving on the part of the wall which has been covered and lighted-up for the show. 80 meters of stiff runway, with the internatinal press at the end of the walk. Do not fall!!

 

My seat!

Our darling Editor in Chief of WWD, Yamamuro san. He was Judge when Riyo won in Japan.

Beautiful actresses, Hollywood blonde and brunette, Kate Bosworth and Zhan Zi Yi
