THE RETURN OF SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE

20 February 2025 by Flora

After a year of renovation, Saint Laurent Rive Droite reopens its doors to the public with a brand new design.

Anthony Vaccarello, artistic director of Saint Laurent, worked with the Judd Foundation to completely re-imagine the design of the Paris flagship. Inspired by art galleries, this collaboration created a new space with a warm, raw and minimalist style. A place where art is expressed in all its forms, where a varied selection of clothes, books, records, furniture and accessories coexist harmoniously. Design is the name of the game, as much in the architecture of the shop as in the fashion on display.

The trendy Saint Laurent Rive Droite boutique perfectly reflects the house’s DNA. Here, spaces are dedicated to culture, luxury, fashion, architecture, collaborations and even the culinary arts. Saint Laurent Rive Droite marks 2025 with a bold new collaboration with chef Peter Park. The first Sushi Park located in Los Angeles, is now setting up its second restaurant at 8 rue du 29 juillet in the 1st arrondissement, next door to the boutique.

One of the most awaited fashion exhibits has come to Paris, and the Lemens & Partners team was eager to discover the incredible world of Dolce & Gabbana.

Pulling back velvet curtains, visitors travel through this exhibit, discovering each theme as a theatrical act to a hypnotic play.

LE CARTEL, THE BOUTIQUE THAT COMBINES ART AND FASHION

13 November 2024 by Flora

Discover THE Marais boutique that combines art and fashion in one place.

Montreal-based Frenchman Pierre Sauvage founded Le Cartel in 2015. It was his passion for art and love of fashion that motivated him to create his textile brand. His speciality? Collaborating with different artists to offer a variety of universes. Drawing, painting, street art, graphic design, photography and tattooing… Le Cartel defines itself as an artistic collective that brings together talent and creativity of all kinds.

It was on a sunny afternoon that the Lemens & Partners team stumbled across this address. Opened in April 2024 in the Marais district, it is the first for the brand to be based internationally. To celebrate, Le Cartel is offering its visitors a collection called ‘PARIS EST UNE FÊTE’, a collaboration between 24 Parisian artists.

Big and bright, the shop quickly caught our eye. With posters displayed throughout the space, a large corner sofa on the 2nd floor and a shelf filled with bottles of wine designed by artists… We immediately felt at home.

Part clothing shop, part urban art gallery, Le Cartel’s retail space is simple and uncluttered. The colours of the paintings and clothes decorate the shop. The atmosphere is modern with the simple furniture, fresh with the white walls and pop with the urban art creations. We recommend a visit!
