Closed until April 2026 for renovation work, the iconic Hôtel Raphaël located in Paris organized a big party with many personalities from the small and big screen. Present with her daughter Esther (born in 2010), Sylvie Testud posed with her and Mélanie Page, who was accompanied by her husband Nagui. The mother of Ruben (born in 2005) and actress in the film Stupor and tremors paraded during a show organized by Véronique Beauvais-Crefcoeur, the only woman to own a chain of luxury hotels in Paris, and Nathalie Garçon, independent and daring fashion designer.
On stage, no traditional models: there were 55 iconic personalities – artists, friends… – who strolled around, each in outfits from decades of creation by Nathalie Garçon and now also her son Emile Garçon. It is not a simple parade, but an original show where the clothes, worn and worn over the years, tell their own story, immortalizing the passage of time and the strength of friendships that endure.
Many couples present
Among the personalities present, Audrey Crespo-Mara and Thierry Ardisson, always very tender towards each other, Catherine Ceylac and Claude Sérillon. Mathilda May and her husband Sly Johnson (who sang during the evening) also made the trip. Philippe Geluck, Laurent Ruquier, Christophe Willem, Catherine Jacob, Caroline Loeb, Véronique Jannot, Ariane Massenet, Chantal Ladesou and her husband Michel Ansault and Tonya Kinzinger all had fun. The evening ended very late, in a crazy atmosphere.
This November 19, 2024, the Hotel became the scene of a moment as astonishing as it was moving, mixing fashion and music in a joyous whirlwind. A celebration of the longevity of clothes, their ability to be reinterpreted again and again, to the point of defying time. A show which allowed us to see many couples parade, each more complicit than the other.
