At the jewel-box restaurant Vesper in Paris, floral-papered corners and midcentury-modern–inspired art framed a well-dressed crush of some of America’s brightest fashion talents. The occasion? CFDA’s Americans in Paris cocktail—celebrating the cadre of designers the organization brought to the City of Light. Hosts Chloe Malle, Eva Chen, Aurora James, Amelia Gray, Christopher John Rogers, and Rachel Scott threaded through the room, greeting designers and old friends with warm embraces.
