It was so cold this day, so thank goodness I had my Dhela shearling coat and these amazing white Salvatore Ferragamo boots to keep me warm! Sunnies from Cutler and Gross.

I owe my whole Paris experience to my dear friend and client Bebe Morati, from Redemption. The Redemption show was absolutely spectacular! Bebe is a rebel at heart in only the best of ways. His chic rock ’n’ roll style creates clothes that women feel great in. There is a big heart at the core of his business model. He donates an unbelievable 50 percent of Redemption’s profits to charity! We need more companies like this in the world.

I got to meet a young aspiring fan, whom I encouraged to always follow her dreams.

Balmain has always been a show I love. When you need a little sparkle in your life, there is no one better than Olivier Rousteing to bring it! I love his humble background, and his rise to the top of the fashion world is an amazing story. Such a great talent!

Paris really is the city of LOVE! My man and I took a little break to walk through one of my favorite neighborhoods, Saint-Germain.

We had a beautiful lunch and paid homage to the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, one of the oldest churches in Paris, built around 1000 AD. It happened to be the perfect time of day when the light shines through the stained glass in the most magnificent way.
Adeam—thank you for this beautiful burgundy coat to keep me cozy in Paris!

This night brings me back to the fabulousness of fashion with Love magazine’s Katie Grand and Marc Jacobs Beauty. It was a night of color and celebration of every shade of man and woman and style to celebrate Marc Jacobs’s new foundation.

The best part was getting to know the new generation of models, relating to their stories, and sharing a little wisdom of my own.

Perfect night to shine in this look from A.L.C., clutch from On Aura Tout Vu, and shoes by Stuart Weitzman.

I chose to go to Valentino because I love the work of Pierpaolo Piccioli. This show may have been one of the most spectacular shows I’ve ever seen in my whole career!

The women embodied the true meaning of grace. We need more of this in the world. The color palette was to die for, and the clothes moved on the body like gentle waves at sea. I absolutely loved everything and cannot wait to wear these beautiful designs!

This night I was out feeling the divine feminine energy of Paris, wearing this beautiful white dress by Kamilla Purshie, to celebrate the launch of Von magazine. Truly an inspiration of strong, sexy women! It was held at the Lapérouse, a building with such history that if walls could talk our jaws would drop!

Paris is not Paris without Chanel and the legendary Karl Lagerfeld! I love this man so much! He is an inspiration to inspiration. It was a joy to see him after so long.

What a pleasure and surprise to reconnect backstage at Chanel with the beautiful, talented Carla Bruni! She is a woman of presence and grace! Her music is to die for!

Last pit stop to say goodbye and pick out a new pair of Newbarks! Designed by my friend and CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund designer class of 2017 Maryam Malakpour. Maryam is the founder of Newbark Los Angeles.

Angela Lindvall knows what it’s like to have a jam-packed Paris Fashion Week. In her catwalk days, the supermodel spent PFW running from one backstage to another, walking the best shows and going at a breakneck pace. These days, Lindvall takes in the shows from the front row, a change she doesn’t mind one bit. “It has been some time since I walked the runway. Those days were endless hours of work,” shared Lindvall post-season. “This week I got to experience the other side”—a trip to the City of Light to view the latest collections from some of her favorite designers, take in a little nightlife, and spend time with her partner, Bryan Ingram.
Stopping by Balmain, Chanel, Redemption, and Valentino, in addition to hitting up parties for Vogue Arabia and Marc Jacobs, Lindvall savored the nonstop glamour while still making time for a little trip to the Louvre, a brasserie pit stop, and some romantic sightseeing. Truly getting the best of both worlds, Lindvall had no complaints about the week’s itinerary: “[I got to] enjoy Paris with my love, attend fabulous dinners and parties, and fully enjoy the wonderful world of fashion.” Here she shares her full travel diary and a glimpse at how to experience Paris like a supermodel.
