Fashion weaves a red thread that runs through the hotel from the entrance to the penthouse under the roof.
Upstairs, the corridors are adorned with large black and white prints, a veritable hymn to femininity. The muses of fashion draw the visitor in their wake, magnified by the biggest names in photography. The signatures of Horst P. Horst, Chaloner Woods and Irving Penn follow one another. This inspiring portfolio recalls the proximity of major fashion houses and the history of this exclusive address, which in the 1990s housed the editorial staff of Marie-Claire magazine.
Photographs of prom scenes by Cecil Beaton for Vogue set the tone in the rooms. In the Suites Collection, the famous photographs of Erwin Blumenfeld bring an enigmatic and surreal note. The decoration of the Prestige Suites seems straight out of a magazine while, on the top floor, in the Couture Apartment, the audacious aesthetic of Jean-Paul Gaultier unfolds in large sepia prints.
Cult images from magazines of the 60s and 70s featuring models by Pierre Cardin or Yves Saint-Laurent finally imbue the bar with an audaciously chic and Parisian atmosphere. The bar menu itself is teeming with nods to the world of Haute-Couture. The Faubourg Saint-Honoré clientele who like to meet there contributes even more to making the Bar du Faubourg a veritable temple of fashion.
Finally, throughout the year, to the rhythm of Fashion Weeks, exhibitions of couture creations follow one another in the lobby and the windows on the street. Produced in partnership with the Confederation of Crafts and Luxury Goods and the French Federation of Made-to-Measure Couture, these exhibitions provide an opportunity to admire creativity and the excellence of know-how. The opportunity for our customers to discover and meet exceptional designers and, why not, to create, during their stay, the dress of their dreams.
