Paris Fashion Week — house invitations: press offices & VIC

How to get in

Each house (Dior, Chanel, Saint Laurent, LV, Hermès, Loewe, Givenchy…) through its own press office or PR agency

Two paths. PRESS: obtain the free FHCM accreditation (accreditation@fhcm.paris), then write to the press office of the house you are targeting to request the show invitation — the contacts above are the published professional channels. VIC CLIENT (the route without being press): become a client of a house, stay loyal to one same sales advisor in the boutique and express the wish to be invited; a significant purchase history qualifies you for VIC status, which opens show invitations and the front row. No seat at the show is "bought": it is earned through the relationship. Free in both cases — it is the relationship (press or client) that grants access.

The turnkey stay

From 28 September to 6 October 2026, Paris unfolds the official spring-summer 2027 ready-to-wear calendar, and the essential happens away from the runways: in the salons of the headquarters, the press offices and the boutiques that run from avenue Montaigne to the faubourg Saint-Honoré. Nothing here can be bought: an invitation is earned, through the houses' press officers or through that Very Important Client status which boutique directors cultivate by appointment. Our stay places you at the heart of the golden triangle, between private fittings, after-show dinners and confidential visits, to live the week exactly as the front row lives it.

Where to stay

• Hôtel Plaza Athénée (Dorchester Collection) — The palace hotel of avenue Montaigne since 1913, a few steps from 30 Montaigne, Dior's historic address: boutiques and press appointments are reached without crossing Paris. Dior Spa within the hotel, garden courtyard and rooms opening onto the avenue — the ideal vantage point over the week's comings and goings.
• Le Bristol Paris (Oetker Collection) — The first hotel in France to receive the Palace distinction, at 112 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré — the very artery of the houses and their press offices. Interior garden of more than 1,000 m², Le Bristol by La Prairie spa, rooftop pool and the three-starred Epicure under the same roof.

Where to dine

• Epicure, Le Bristol Paris — Three Michelin stars at the heart of Le Bristol, now signed by Arnaud Faye, Meilleur Ouvrier de France and successor to Éric Frechon. A dining room opening onto the palace hotel's garden, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré: the great table of the week, without ever leaving the axis of the houses.
• Caviar Kaspia — An institution founded in 1927 at 17 place de la Madeleine, minutes from the faubourg Saint-Honoré, and the late-night canteen of the houses during Fashion Week: its caviar-topped potato is the most sought-after after-show ritual in Paris.

What to experience

• La Galerie Dior, visite au 30 avenue Montaigne — The museum of the house of Dior, in the mansion where Christian Dior presented the New Look in 1947, at the heart of the golden triangle: recreated haute couture salons and archive gowns, with timed-entry booking via the official website — the very spirit of the headquarters where invitations are decided.
• Croisière privée sur la Seine, Yachts de Paris — A yacht from the fleet chartered exclusively, among them the Don Juan II and its gastronomic table orchestrated by chef Frédéric Anton: an after-show dinner drifting past the Louvre, the Grand Palais and the Eiffel Tower, in complete privacy.
