STARTING PRICE : 1€ GARÇONNIÈRE PARISIENNE PART III HERMÈS

Some collections are about taste. Others a way of life.

GARÇONNIÈRE PARISIENNE opens the doors to the world of a 33-year-old Parisian collector, an erudite epicurean, for whom fashion has never been a matter of gender but of allure, instinct and freedom. Here, wardrobes respond to each other and mingle with obvious fluidity: the masculine borrows from the feminine, the feminine from the masculine, styles converse freely.

Over the course of more than 1,000 LOTS, an intimate cartography of taste takes shape, nourished by curiosity, erudition and a deeply personal eye. Chanel, Givenchy, Prada, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Chanel, Ferré, Ralph Lauren and even Galliano and Marithé + François Girbaud cross paths without hierarchy (Part I & II sales). Hermès occupies a singular place here, notably through a rare collection of carrés, whose designs, stories and sometimes delightfully old-fashioned charm are given an unexpected modernity (sale Part III).

And then there’s the gesture. Radical, free, almost dizzying: each lot starts at €1.
“Today, I want to give back to the market what is the market,” confides the collector. Fifteen years of vision, selection and taste are being put back into circulation. It’s a way of opening up this collection to the free play of auctions, where anything can happen.

More than a sale, GARÇONNIÈRE PARISIENNE celebrates the dialogue between styles, customs and eras. An invitation to appropriate these pieces in the present and do exactly as we please, in the wake of this young collector who embodies a freedom of taste deeply rooted in his time.
