Printemps Haussmann Celebrates Love With École Duperré

Store news | May 15, 2021
Love has been having quite a time lately, which means that it's perhaps the best time to celebrate it. From February 2nd to 14th, the Printemps store on Boulevard Haussmann invites a host of promising young artists to share their vision. 

Self-love, polyamory, love on the internet and IRL: this mysterious emotion can take many different forms, and the students at École Duperré seem to agree. In honor of Valentine's Day, Printemps Haussmann will welcome students in the first and second years of the school's prestigious Superior Diploma of Applied Fashion Design, with a minor in Image, Media, and Editorial. The students will expose their diverse impressions on this vast subject. 

Seven students — Flore Lorenté, Anatole Rassu, Clara Ziegler, Philippe Rodrigues, Hugo Palayer, Salomé Perroton, and Armand Croisonnier — will create no fewer than eleven works, which will grace the store's famous display windows from February 2nd to 14th, 2021. Working alone and together, the students worked inventively with photography to create displays that attest to their personal visions and the collective consciousness more widely. 

Through this lens, love in the time of Covid-19 takes a turn for inclusivity: visitors will be treated to a closer look at small gestures in "Amour-e-s," at affect on the internet in "Digital Love," along with utterly contemporary pieces like "Ménages" ("Arrangements") and "Archivage" ("Archival"), plus a piece on the form the Greeks knew as philautia in "Self Care, Self Love." All in all, the impressive creativity and talent found in this Parisian establishment points to a sense of aesthetics that's as current as it is original. 

In a period of uncertainty, marked by lockdowns and curfews, these optimistic, bright-eyed works attest to a freshness that's young but never naive, offering us a space to relax and reflect. To the art of love, indeed!
