Garage editor-in-chief Dasha Zhukova and gadabout Derek Blasberg made their international D.J. debut on Saturday night at the bar in Le Bristol, a hotel in central Paris where the fashion crowd typically takes up residence for the week. Though technical problems prevented the duo from playing nineties gangster rap as planned, the party was a major hit. From Karlie Kloss to Patrick Demarchalier, the space was packed with those who came to celebrate the magazine’s radio station — “We’re possibly going to take [it] to Miami Basel,” Zhukova told the Cut.

Dello Russo: Of course I do. I love Dasha; I love the Garage magazine. She's so chic in a certain way but also so modern and open-mind. I like so much what's she's doing.
What's in your bag?
Dello Russo: There's just lipstick [Labello tinted lip balm], then I have some nuts [walnuts] and I have a credit card because you never know if you do shopping! Then you can buy. That's it.
No business cards.
Dello Russo: I don't have a business card because I don't like to carry the business card. It's old-fashioned. You do contact, you do e-mail; it's more quickly, it's more direct.
Battaglia: Don't tell me the question is going to be "What are you wearing," right?
Okay, I won't ask that. What have you been up to today?
Battaglia: Shows since 9:30. I go to everything.
Are you serious?
Battaglia: Of course. Are you kidding me? I'm a fashion girl, not a party girl. I mean, I party at night, but I work in the day, which makes me a strong party girl. I party not so much in Fashion Week. But when I do party, I party hard. But I work harder. This morning, it was Watanabe, so I was happy to go. Actually, I was in bed at midnight last night.
What fun Fashion Week parties have you been to?
Battaglia: Anna Dello Russo's party, amazing for H&M. It was fantastic; it was incredible to see how fun and ironic and this kind of pop moment for fashion. That's the only party I've been.
That's it?
Battaglia: Well, I've been to my own party for W in Milan. That's it. When I go out, I make a statement. Everybody thinks I'm going out every night, but it's not true. Photo: Joe Schildhornnyc.com/BFA

Arizona Muse I look like a witch tonight for some reason. It's a beautiful dress. It's just ... on the hanger, it looks a bit different than on me, but I didn't realize that until I put it on.
Why do you think you look like a witch?
I don't know. I think it's because my hair's too messy.
It's Paris — you're supposed to have messy hair!
My brother said, "Oh, where's your broomstick?"
So, your brother's here?
Yes, he just arrived. He's coming to visit me here. He's 21. He's amazing, a snowboarder, filmmaker. He's incredible;I'm so proud of my brother.
He's a pro snowboarder?
He's filming the pros and snowboarding for pleasure.
I saw you at Le Baron the other night. Do you have any beauty secrets to hide fatigue?
Curl your eyelashes. It's so simple, and everyone can do it, and it can help.
Where do you stay while in Paris?
I'm staying here, at the Bristol. I love it.

Home cuddling with Romy. I'm staying at home a lot with my baby, so I'm just being very picky where I go. It's so nice to have so many of my friends here tonight. It's a nice outing.
Are you excited for the ball in a few days celebrating your mom's collaboration with M.A.C.?
So excited. She always manages to pull off the most amazing parties, the most glamorous, with the best music. It's always a good time.
Her photos for the campaign are pretty sexy.
I think she looks amazing. She puts the bar pretty high.
I see you're wearing a Cartier Love bracelet.
It was a Christmas present from my family. They locked it maybe three, four, five years ago, I forgot. It's just very annoying when I pass security at the airport. I can't remove it, so I need to get scanned.
Do you have the key?
I do have the key, but I don't know where it is.
So it's never coming off.

Zhukova: We did D.J. a little bit, but unfortunately the equipment we brought is not compatible.
Blasberg: This is our D.J. debut. It's like a first marriage. There are a lot of difficulties. So we're still struggling.
Zhukova: Growing pains.
Blasberg: But D.J. Double D, I think it's good name for our D.J. partnership. We were actually very good. We downloaded all our favorite nineties gangster rap. So we have all these amazing tunes and they're right on this computer, but it's been very difficult to get them into the machine. Photo: Joe Schildhornnyc.com/BFA

Skyler Berman and Rachel ZoeHave you bought your baby any French clothes?
Not yet. I still have a lot of time left to do that.
What are you ...Skyler Berman and Rachel ZoeHave you bought your baby any French clothes?
Not yet. I still have a lot of time left to do that.
What are you dressing him in?
I've got everything. Burberry, Gucci, everything, everything you can imagine. I don't shop for myself anymore; I only shop for him.
Are you filming at all while you're here?
We are. We're actually going to be filming the next couple of days.
What are you doing?
I don't know yet. I think we're just going to film and see what happens. We're in Paris, so only good things can happen, right? This is my favorite city.
What projects do you have in the works?
I have another book coming out this spring. I'm working on pre-fall and fall right now with my collection. I'm going to shows. A bunch of my clients are doing premieres and film festivals and all that stuff right now. I'm prepping for awards season; I have a bunch of fashion editorials I'm styling in the next six weeks. That's what I'm up to.
Who'd you come here with?
I came with my husband, my baby, my sister, and my best friend in the world and my makeup artist and hairstylist, Joey Maalouf.
And how many suitcases?
Eleven. No, eleven between me and the baby and my husband. Not eleven for me.
Still a lot. How many for the baby?
