Every year since it was first organized by Ophélie Renouard in 1992, families from all over the world, known for their contributions to the arts, politics, and business, have come together dressed in couture to celebrate their daughters’ (aged 16-22) debut into society. The fashion event also raises funds in support of charitable causes Enfants d’Asie, which provides education for girls in Southeast Asia, and Seleni, which finances research in healthcare for adolescent mothers. . #lebal #lebaldesdebutantes #debutantes #debutanteball #paris #avaphilippe #loriharvey #royalty #debs #thepeninsulaparis #maharajapadmanabhsingh #giambattistavalli
