The Samaritaine is celebrating the Paris fashion season by transforming the store into a gigantic design studio through May 17. From display windows to the heart of the store, all the different fashion métiers are featured in a great lineup of special events, plus an exhibition of work by renowned fashion photographer Erwin Blumenfeld.

The go-to hub for fashion and a true Parisian institution, the Samaritaine continues to delight visitors since reopening in June 2021. Display windows on rue du Pont-Neuf and rue de Rivoli recount the creative processes behind an array of fashion and luxury métiers and savoir-faire. Stylists, draping specialists, model makers, jewelers and more all invite visitors on a fun-filled inside look at the secrets of creativity. Inside the store, an immersive journey includes "Fashion is a Game", an exhibition that celebrates one of the great fashion photographers, Erwin Blumenfeld. Photos by the avant-garde American artist, who died in 1969, are displayed in the heart of the department store, melding art and fashion. With striking staging that creates transparent effects and optical illusions, the playful installation pays tribute to the influential photographer.
