Los Angeles-based influencer and Kylie Jenner’s BFF, Stas Caranicolaou, known online as “Stassibaby,” recently packed her bags and headed to Paris. Attending a few with Jenner and some exclusives, Karanikolaou Balenciaga (you can’t be in the Kardashian orbit without a Balenciaga connection these days), Copernicus, Valentino and Courages, and document them all to share. Below, Caranicola’s send-off from a busy and fashionable week.
You are now checked into the Ritz Paris. Fortunately, I was not jet-lagged since I came from Milan. I really like this hotel. I’m so glad to be back in Paris! “…
“I get glam for every show because hair and makeup really transforms a look into something more. I love seeing how other people choose to do their hair and makeup in different ways…it makes it so much more creative and plays a huge part in your own look.”
“PFW First Show: Darings. The design of the plane was absolutely insane. Nicolas and his team had a circular sandy runway where the models wore lots of denim and fabric. I love all the looks! “
“It’s always fun to be on the runway with friends. We loved seeing Olivier backstage [at Balmain] And telling us how much we love his collection. This is probably us telling him which look we want to wear outside the airport. Ha. He is very talented.”
“It’s a lot of running during the week. … But I always make time for Ferdy.” It is a must. It might be clichéd advice at this point, but Burger is too good for it.

“Excited to see Creative Director Ludovic de Saint Cerny at the event! I love how amazing the pieces are and how the new collection stands out. I was obsessed with the look they lent me for the show!”
“A day off… means shopping. Paris has some of the best shopping in the world. The border is dangerous! You have to stop yourself from wanting everything.”
“Coperni has always been one of my favorite shows. Arnaud and Sebastien are geniuses. I wear their clothes and bags a lot. This dress they chose for me to wear was one of my favorites – a bit daring, but very fun. Even that night I was tired.”
“Seeing them spray the dress on Bella is something I’ll never forget. This was wisdom. She was so beautiful and she was so simple and wonderful. She looks like an angel! And it was amazing when she walked down the runway in that last dress. I’m still speechless! I was shaking backstage congratulating everyone because it was so much fun.
“Me and Guiliano!!! We were together in Milan for the most exciting and outrageous GCDS show in Milan. He always exemplifies this crazy, fun energy and has the biggest heart of anyone I’ve ever met in fashion. We always have a good time together. His joy and happiness are contagious. “
“There’s nothing like a night out in Paris, especially when so many of my friends are here! Fai surprised me with a bottle of Sunny Vodka and I nearly cried. It was the best gift. This is us, a bottle of Sunny Vodka and 818 Reserve.
“Sun Vodka Takes Paris!”
“The Valentino Rose PP collection is everything! And so are these accessories. I recently had ankle surgery and part of my motivation during physical therapy was realizing how much I wanted to wear platforms from this collection.
“Balenciaga. A Demna show always makes a statement beyond the dress and the collection. You can feel it from the moment you get the invitation and walk into the show. It really takes your breath away. I also love how he brings back big toques and duffles. I love the big bag. My favorite piece is the one that goes through the arm. It was a Balenciaga glove bag.”
“On the way to the Valentino SS23 show. The traffic in Paris this season was crazy and I was so scared I was going to miss the show. Luckily I got there before the show started. Literally when Zendaya walked in, someone was about to get on my train and I had to make sure no one did.” She was too sweet to stop a man.
“That’s a package, Paris Fashion Week! Thank you so much for having me.”
