Guests of Gina Sanders couldn’t have wished for a more pleasant Indian summer s evening in Paris to celebrate her new appointment as president of Condé Nast Global Development. Hosted by Jonathan Newhouse, Charles Townsend, and Anna Wintour on the terrace of the Shangri-La Hotel in the elegant 16th arrondissement, the event was a sunset affair of international proportions, and almost every major designer came out for the congratulatory toast. As chic Americans-in-Paris like Lauren Santo Domingo and Vanessa Traina Snow raised their glasses, the roll call of local heavy-hitters that came through the door was seemingly endless: Dries Van Noten, Karl Lagerfeld, and Peter Copping, who arrived fresh from showing his new collection for Nina Ricci at the Tuileries just hours earlier—not to mention a strong British contingent that included designers Erdem Moralioglu and Mary Katrantzou. Dressed in an elegant blush-pink look by Christian Dior, Sanders—the woman of the hour—was radiant and relaxed amidst the star-studded crowd of well-wishers.
