French luxury retail designer collaborations

Overview

French luxury and contemporary retail brands are increasingly utilizing exhibitions and collaborations to showcase designer talent.

In mid-September, Galeries Lafayette in Paris launched the ‘Maison des Créateurs’ exhibition. The showcase features a blend of established fashion houses and emerging designers, including 2026 ANDAM Grand Prix winner Marie Adam-Leenaerdt and recent graduates from the Institut Français de la Mode.

By late September, other Parisian retailers expanded on these collaborative models. Le Bon Marché converted its Salon Aristide into a design space featuring the work of Edgar Jayet, offering customizable furniture and lighting. Additionally, the brand Gérard Darel partnered with the Merci concept store for a residency involving archival pieces and exclusive new products.
