When Vogue World: Paris The world had never seen an event like this before, which took place on June 23. Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner were seen riding horses at the first bootleg show at Place Vendôme. Hermès from head to toeSabrina Carpenter red-white Jacquemusand Serena Williams honors Virgil Abloh by wearing Ib Kamara for Off-White— represents only four 132 models, celebrities and athletes They walked in a once-in-a-lifetime style in the magnificent century of fashion and sports.

How exactly did it happen? Vogue and did production company Bureau Buteak pull it off? A new video from Westin Hotels and Resorts offers a look behind the scenes. Nine days before the event, cameras followed everyone from stylist Carine Roitfeld to choreographer Parris Goebel. VogueAnna Wintour, global editor-in-chief of , worked day and night to make Vogue World a reality.

Most of the action takes place just steps away from Place Vendôme at The Westin Paris, whose roots date back to the 19th century. Acting as the unofficial hub of the entire event, the hotel transformed its lobby, ballroom, and countless other spaces into a flurry of models, fashion editors, moodboarders, and clothing racks. (Sensing the increasing stress, staff distributed survival kits that included massagers.) Meanwhile, Goebel and her 69 dancers practiced tirelessly at a local French high school.

The images also feature the talented tailors and seamstresses of major French fashion houses who worked on the look for the catwalk. It was an exciting moment for many: At Chanel, for example, a team redesigned dresses originally designed by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. “Usually you see these dresses in museums, but for once we could do it ourselves,” says Chanel tailor Brice Leblac. It’s no wonder model Amelia Gray got a little emotional while trying on a beaded dress at The Westin Paris: “Pinch me everywhere, please and thank you.”
