Perfume you can sip, wedding dresses for work-bitches & Japan pops-up! A Week in Paris
We’re back with a new selection of stuff to see, do and love in Paris this week. Celebrating Paris Makers and the strange, new, true & beautiful, forever!
🫧Experience the unseen at ‘Perfume, Sculpture of the Invisible’ at the Palais de Tokyo, celebrating Paris-born perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, and Dior’s creative director since 2021. Highlights include collabs with Sophie Calle (‘The Smell of Money’) and our favorite, L’Or Bleu – a drinkable perfume created in 2012 with artist Yann Toma.
🌵 The Distillerie de Paris presents a new take on Agave – neither tequila nor mezcal – sourced straight from Mexico and aged in their Parisian cellars for complexity. Limited quantities, selling fast!
🇯🇵 One of our fave sake bars in Paris, Stand Tora, teams up with local Japanese chef duo Bien for a 3-day pop-up pairing champagne, wine and sake with exquisite yakuzen tapas, all set to a jazz kissa vibe. Opens tomorrow! Just a short walk away, Beams Japan pops up at Irasshai with over 200 curated items, from handmade tableware to stationery. Until 13 Nov, 40 rue du Louvre, 75001
🪺 Pioneering photography gallery Les Douches la Galerie has moved out of its historic Canal Saint-Martin site to inaugurate a new Marais space with a show by Spanish duo Albarran Cabrera, ‘Chromatic Dreams’, exploring memory, time and perception itself. Vernissage tomorrow! 54 rue Chapon, 75003
🍊 Currently on view at the Musée de l’Orangerie : the first exhibition dedicated to pioneering art dealer Berthe Weill, who from 1901 championed the avant-garde – from Picasso to Modigliani – under the slogan Place aux jeunes! (Make way for the young!), alongside more celebrated contemporaries Kahnweiler, Vollard and Paul Guillaume.
👰🏾♀️ Local artist Maroussia Rebecq (Andrea Crews) has upcycled second-hand wedding dresses into playful, empowering pieces for work-bitches. One day only: Friday at 2pm, over 200 pieces plus accessories will be given away at 79 rue de Turbigo, to mark the Paris launch of Hulu’s new series ‘All’s Fair’. Don’t miss !
