Apparently, Carine Roitfeld decided to come out and play when Anna Wintour visited Paris during couture week to meet with French Minister, Christian Estrosi, to discuss funding young Paris designers. Oh, and Hamish Bowles was there too.

What came out of the meeting, you ask?

Estrosi recaps on Anna's fashion doings in NYC:

"Everyone knows the role Anna plays in making New York a great fashion capital. My objective was to benefit from her experience.

I want Paris to remain the world's capital of fashion. Today, we need people to share the risks.”

Estrosi plans to offer financing through state-owned banks to fashion start-ups, alongside partnering up with Anna to create a relaxed workweek for fashion house employees who need to work double-time for fashion week prep. In addition, a masters degree program is being developed for French students who need to be more competitive against fellow students attending outstanding schools. Think Central Saint Martins.

By the way, both Anna and Carine are smiling together.
