Eastern Promises

Alex Kiselev and Maia Tarkhan-Mouravi, the London-based, Russian-Georgian team behind the Kisa label, are pretty excited that their wares are now being stocked in Moscow as well as across Europe and the United States, and on Sunday night in Paris they celebrated their Russian expansion in appropriate fashion: i.e., with cocktails and caviar at perennial hot spot Caviar Kaspia. "I'm not at all hungry," said model Lily Donaldson as she scooped up an oligarch's ransom in beluga. "But who says no to caviar?" Given the occasion and the venue, talk inevitably turned to Mother Russia. "I like the efficiency of their drinking," said stylist Charlotte Stockdale. "Just a bottle of vodka on the table, no mixers, no carbs, no sugar. Just the good stuff." At the end of the night, eco-minded Kiselev dispersed tiny USB hubs containing this season's lookbook to guests like Barbara Bush, Olympia Scarry, and Eugenie Niarchos. Doubtful anyone was rushing home to log on to their laptops, however. It's Paris fashion week, after all.
