Les Deux Cafes, redux

Leave it to Michele Lamy and her partner, designer Rick Owens, to draw one of Paris' motliest—and wildest—party crowds to Paris' straitlaced 7th arrondissement. Designers, tattoo artists, drag queens, socialites, goth kids and even a pro rugby player or two packed Chez Francoise on Friday for Lamy's one-night revival of Les Deux Cafes, the famed L.A. nightclub she launched in the Nineties (click HERE for last week's interview with Lamy). As Greek artist Konstantin Kakanias watched Lamy take the stage to croon a few moody cabaret numbers, backed by Bobby Woods' band, he enthused, "This is just like the old Les Deux. Only better."
