L’Ingénieur Chevallier traces its roots back to 1740, when Jean Gabriel’s grandfather Augustin Chevallier became an optician to King Louis XV of France. Chevallier went on to invent the microscope and opera glasses, and his company eventually became an official supplier to the French military. Now owned by family-owned eyewear specialist Maison Bonnet, their Rue des Pyramides store, first opened in the 1920s, has been given a makeover by noted designer Pierre Bonnefille. It will offer limited edition models handcrafted in Burgundy by a master craftsman alongside selections from high-end niche labels.
Long live the queen of fabrics and stripes. Sonia Rykiel opened a pop-up store Monday on tony Rue Royale, distilling the late French designer’s colorful and graphic universe into a 1,300-square-foot space, where bright hues are juxtaposed with brushed metal, mirrors and mesh decor, and there’s also references to Rykiel’s love of books. Like her New York counterparts, Parisian shoppers will be able to get their hands on signature knitwear from Rykiel Forever, dazzling styles from Velvet Strauss, and the fall 2022 “Mai ’68” collection.
From Thursday to Sunday, Kitsuné’s flagship store on Rue de Richelieu will be transformed into “Kitsuné Market”, a retro pop-up inspired by Korean culture and 1980s convenience stores, focusing on the work of the artist and illustrator Tree13, who created an anime-inflected illustrated campaign for the French label. And for anyone who wants to get a taste of Kitsuné’s Korean adventures further, their Louvre outpost, just steps away, will offer an exclusive menu with Paris-based Korean pastry chef, Monsieur Caramel, from Thursday through June 31. october.
Arive has arrived in Paris and partners with Vestiaire Collective just in time for fashion week.
