As Paris prepares for a summer of sport and culture during the upcoming Olympic games, this past weekend, adidas Originals and Dazed teamed up for an intimate event in the heart of the city. The dinner celebrated the enduring influence of adidas Originals and the release of Dazed’s Summer 2024 issue, featuring cover star Noah Lyles.

Held on June 24 during Paris Men’s Fashion Week, the event was held at GC4+, an abandoned telephone centre in the 9th arrondissement, and was hosted by model Gabbriette and Dazed’s Fashion Director Imruh Asha.

The gathering brought together key figures from fashion, film, music, and sport, including the likes of Ib Kamara, Paloma Elsesser, Jeremy Scott, Mia Khalifa, Alex Consani, Kai-Isaiah Jamal, Michèle Lamy, Edison Chen, ASAP Nast, Mustafa, Lila Moss, Carlijn Jacobs, Hugo Comte, Teezo Touchdown, and Willy Chavarria.

The venue made perfect use of natural light, enhanced by strategically placed white asteria tubes that added a moody glow to the dining and cocktail areas. The minimalist table setup featured blue accents in line with adidas Originals, creating a striking contrast against the raw, industrial backdrop.

The intimate dinner was imagined with culinary studio We Are Ona and the menu curated by chef Zélikha Dinga of Caro Diario and complemented the venue’s aesthetic, featuring vibrant touches through furniture and table decorations. This blend of industrial chic and subtle elegance made for a visually captivating dining experience. A dessert imagined by Gabbriette was also served at the end of the meal.

Drinks were provided courtesy of Tico and Penfolds, which featured cocktails including Tico Tommy’s Margarita, Picante, Tico Espresso Martini, and Palomita, alongside Heineken beer and Penfolds Champagne Blanc de Noirs. After dinner, the party continued late into the evening with DJ sets by Vegyn and Bambii.

Before leaving guests received customised adidas Superstars with commemorative details and copies of the latest Noah Lyles Dazed issue.
