Paris SS27

Every season, Paris becomes a meeting point for our industry. Designers, makers, buyers and friends return to continue conversations that rarely feel finished, picking up where the previous season left off. For one week, the city becomes a place where ideas are shared, relationships are strengthened, and future collections begin to take shape.

Amid one of the hottest weeks Paris has experienced in recent memory, we presented our HAVEN Spring/Summer 2027 collection while spending time with many of the brands and people who continue to shape our perspective. Alongside a preview of the season ahead, we wanted to share a glimpse behind the scenes from our own showroom to a selection of spaces that inspired us throughout the week.

Hidden just off Rue de Turenne in the Marais, our showroom returned for a second season in the same space. Familiarity allowed us to refine the experience, creating an environment that reflected the principles behind the collection itself.

Built around modular Douglas fir platforms, locally sourced stone, and photography captured along the coastline of Vancouver Island, the installation referenced the landscapes that informed SS27. Furniture by our friend Frederic Pellenq and restrained floral arrangements from Yurika Moriya softened the space while reinforcing the collection's dialogue between modernity, natural materials, utility and everyday living.

More than a place to present clothing, the showroom became a space for conversation as we welcomed buyers, collaborators and long-time friends throughout the week.

Midway through the week we welcomed friends, collaborators and wholesale partners for a relaxed evening at the showroom. Fashion Week often moves at an overwhelming pace, making these more intimate moments some of the most meaningful.

Sharing maple syrup ice cream, hors d’oeuvres, drinks and conversation reminded us that the relationships built over many seasons remain at the centre of what we do.

Thank you to Folderol, Dreaming Man, Christopher and Sophia for helping make the evening possible.

Between appointments, we always make time to step outside the pace of Fashion Week. Museums, galleries and architecture have become as much a part of our Paris routine as the showroom schedule itself.

These moments provide perspective. Removing ourselves from the constant noise often leads to the ideas that stay with us long after the week ends.

Fashion Week is as much about reconnecting with long-standing partners as it is discovering new relationships. Throughout the week we visited showrooms across the city, previewing upcoming collections while continuing conversations around craftsmanship, materials and future collaboration.

Among the highlights were new developments from Tarvas, whose evolving footwear collection continues to balance simplicity with function, alongside introductions to new partners that share our commitment to considered manufacturing and enduring design. Several of these projects will arrive throughout the coming seasons.

Beyond the collections and showroom visits, sharing meals with our team, collaborators, and partners remains one of our favourite parts of the week. The fashion industry has always been built on relationships, and some of the best conversations happen around the dinner table.

Paris provides the perfect setting for these moments. Neighbourhood cafés, and late dinners become welcome breaks. While every meal has its own character, our continuous search for the best ‘steak au poivre’ has become a tradition we rarely miss.

One of our favourite parts of Paris each season is seeing how different brands choose to present their collections. Every showroom reflects a unique point of view, not only through their collections, but through architecture, furniture, florals, sound and atmosphere.

From Veilance's restrained botanical installations to the warmth of A.PRESSE's vintage furnishings and ON's contemporary spatial design, each environment becomes an extension of the brands itself. These details continually remind us that presentation and environment is never separate from product.

Thank you to everyone who visited us in Paris this season, and all the partners who continue to support us.

We look forward to sharing our Spring/Summer 2027 collection and selections from new and existing brands in the months ahead.
