The new creative scene of French jewelry
Held under the High Patronage of Mr. Emmanuel MACRON, President of the French Republic, LE RENDEZ-VOUS aims to showcase the creativity and craftsmanship of the jewelry industry during Fashion Week by creating a major, collaborative event that brings together French and international players in the sector.
Conceived as a unique, immersive experience, this event brings together designers, brands, buyers, influencers, journalists, and partners around a shared ambition: to give French jewelry the visibility it deserves and to firmly establish jewelry at the heart of contemporary creative industries.
Five curated spaces for an immersive experience
Le Rendez-Vous is organized around five complementary spaces, each offering a distinct perspective on jewelry. From shadow to light, the exhibition design invites visitors to discover the collections through a carefully choreographed interplay of materials, volumes, and transparency. Creative agencies Meutes Hyperstudio and Breigstorm developed the art direction and produced an immersive journey conceived as a gradual unveiling.
The Central Stage
- The Central Stage features 24 jewelry and fashion jewelry brands selected for their creativity, distinctive style, and ability to represent contemporary French design. Together, they embody the diversity and vitality of a thriving industry.

The Jewelry Monograph
The Jewelry Monograph unfolds as an immersive exhibition. In collaboration with Baptiste Desjardin, artistic director and paper artist, the installation takes the form of a suspended landscape composed of monumental sheets of paper inspired by the natural world: gardens, flowers, foliage, and tree silhouettes.
Bathed in light, the cutouts create a play of shadows, reflections, and transparencies. The space becomes an abstract, living, and almost immaterial garden, within which visitors gradually discover the jewelry creations.

The Photographs

Style
Adorn the flesh,
envelop it in
glowing red, icy blue,
deep black. Behind
the purity of the glass, the radiance
of the skin shines through, every
pore pulsing with beauty.
The sublime materials
echo one another. And time
stands still.
The Bookstore
A carefully curated bookstore will offer a selection of specialized publications, magazines, and reference works dedicated to jewelry and creative culture.
