IRK MAGAZINE’S FW & TECHNE LAUNCH PARTY AT SILENCIO
Silencio set the stage for one of the most electrifying events of Paris Fashion Week as IRK Magazine took over the iconic club for the launch of its latest issue, TECHNÉ. It was an intoxicating mix of high fashion, pulsing music, and an exclusive crowd. The event embodied everything Parisian nightlife and avant-garde fashion should be.
The night kicked off at 10 PM with a private gathering of editors, designers, models and fashion’s elite. They sipped cocktails and discussed the future of style under Silencio’s signature gold-leaf walls and retro-futuristic interiors. By 11 PM, the doors opened to the public, and the club erupted into a full-throttle sensory experience. A collision of art, music, and fashion pulsed into the early hours.
Silencio: The Underground Kingdom of Parisian Cool
For those who know, Silencio isn’t just a club—it’s a legend. Designed by David Lynch, this exclusive hideaway has hosted some of the most iconic fashion, music, and art events in Paris. It’s dark, it’s intimate, and it feels like stepping into a film scene where every detail drips with intrigue. The VIP lounges hum with quiet decadence, while the dance floor pulls everyone into its dimly lit, perfectly curated chaos.
On this night, IRK Magazine took over, infusing its signature avant-garde energy into the space. Magazine editors rubbed shoulders with runway models, designers, and underground creatives. All here to celebrate Techné, a deep dive into the intersection of art beauty fashion, and life with technology.
The Soundtrack: Three Women Who Owned the Night
Music wasn’t just background noise—it was the heartbeat of the party. IRK and Silencio’s lineup of all-female DJs—Kesh, URUMI, and Cornelia—turned the night into a full-throttle sonic experience.
- KESH, a creative powerhouse known for her multidisciplinary approach to art and music. She set the tone with a raw, eclectic sound that blurred the lines between fun and rebellion.
- URUMI, the rising star with a cult following, blended hypnotic beats with a powerful sound. She pulled the crowd into a trance-like groove.
- CORNELIA, a fearless force behind the decks, kept the energy climbing with bass-heavy. She had perfectly unpredictable transitions that had people losing themselves on the dance floor.
By midnight, champagne flutes clinked, conversations grew bolder, and the music took over completely. It was that perfect Fashion Week alchemy. The kind where the scene stops being about who’s in the room and becomes about the collective experience of something electric, something real.
IRK’s Future: Pushing the Limits of Fashion, Music, and Art
If this night proved anything, it’s that IRK Magazine isn’t just covering culture—it’s creating it. The Techné launch at Silencio was more than a party; it was a statement. A reminder that fashion isn’t just about the runway—it’s about the world around it, the people who shape it, and the energy that fuels it.
As Paris Fashion Week rolls on, IRK stays at the forefront—not just documenting the best of fashion, but actively shaping what comes next. If you were there, you felt it. If you weren’t? Well, you’ll just have to catch the next one. And trust us—you won’t want to miss it.

One day when I was barely two my mom let me push her out of her bedroom. She was curious so she ran outside the house so she could watch me through the window. I climbed up on a chair by her vanity and started putting on her makeup. I loved playing dress up as a kid. Putting on my mom's sequin tube tops and high heeled shoes and then putting on a dance show in the lobby or the restaurant of the hotel/residence we lived in. It was the best childhood ever. Dress-up, dancing, playing with barbies, and drawing were my favorite things to do. I have not changed one bit today. If I am creating I am happy.
Now I am in Paris for the second time in my life and I am having a ball playing with my partner in crime Julien Crouigneau. We founded IRK Magazine together in 2015 and we are proud to collaborate with some amazing artists, and influencers.
We are also a photography duo under the pseudonym French Cowboy. We love to tell stories and create poetic images that are impactful.
