Burberry Paris Flagship Opening

Christopher Bailey, too, was on-site at the 10,000-square-foot flagship — which spans four floors and is located at 56 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré — and had plans to eat steak-frites while in town. After the store cocktail, the crowd decamped to the British ambassador's residence nearby, where British pop band The Feeling gave a live performance and Chung DJed.
