A love story begins at every turn, a continuous connection between eyes and heart that pushes you to move forward and discover. Love stories can take different forms. Entering someone’s life is like visiting their home, their intimate spaces. In Paris, where everything sparkles and transforms into enchanting landscapes, you can stay just where you are, sipping a glass of Chablis, waiting.

It’s your love story!
PARIS LOVES ME

In the 30 looks of Niccolò Pasqualetti’s Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection, tensions and deliberate imbalances walk us through an eclectic mix of outwear, knits, and evening gowns, playing with the contrasts between durable materials and delicate fabrics, with a focus on experimental layering.

This collection makes us reflect on the transience of beauty, which is fragile, temporary; strength is what is left behind afterwards.

L’XXL by JEANCOLONNA

An icon of Delvaux’s collection since 1958, the Brilliant is a subject of reinvention and its proportion and construction a source of playful surprise.

It’s newest iteration, the L’XXL, reflects the unorthodox instincts of JEANCOLONNA, a master of sly subversion, elegance and wit.
The designer challenges and honors the codes of the Maison creating a sublime tension rooted in deep respect for Delvaux’s canon of craftsmanship, luxury and refinement.

Impossible to confine to a gender binary, day or night, the L’XXL is a bag for endless purpose and possibility.

A Story /

Flex’it is the brand’s signature: if FOPE jewellery is known the world over, it is because of the mesh made flexible by a patented system of tiny 18-carat gold springs. Over the years, the Flex’it range has expanded and the mesh has been reinterpreted in both aesthetics and technology, with jewellery that offers new styles and unprecedented wearability. A masterpiece of both goldsmithing and engineering, Flex’it is a unique system: no other brand is able to produce flexible jewellery entirely and solely using 18-carat gold.
