The space 40 rue François Iᵉʳ reopens following on a renovation led by Belgian architect Bernard Dubois, with a vision honoring the memory of this historic Courrèges’ address paired with a contemporary architectural gesture.

Bernard Dubois’ project for Courrèges explores a series of historical codes of the brand, assembling and recomposing them in an unprecedented way. The historic flaghip store on rue François 1er has thus been completely redesigned in order to explore and enhance the spatial qualities of the place. A large perspective is created, directed towards the back space dedicated to the dressing rooms.

The atmosphere is monochrome, the sound is muffled by the carpet on the floor and the fabric that covers all the walls and ceilings. In response to the cozy atmosphere of the store, a mirror game inspired by the codes of clubbing was also created, representing a universe filled with codes dear to Nicolas Di Felice, named artistic director of Courrèges in September 2020.

Boutique Marais

Courrèges opens its new store in the heart of Paris.

Following the 2021 debut of its first Marais boutique, Courrèges inaugurates its second store in the heart of Paris at 27, rue des Francs-Bourgeois. This new location is both a satellite and an evolution of the historic François 1er address. This 235 m2 space celebrates the diverse community that defines the Marais district - a combination of historical landmarks, art venues and queer underground, the Marais embodies the contrasting identities of Parisian life and of Nicolas Di Felice’s Courrèges.

Belgian architect Bernard Dubois was behind the design of the heigh-ceilinged space which he conceived in accordance with legacy codes and Di Felice’s post-modern approach. Arched alcoves, white flooring, mirrored walls and club-inspired spotlights are the unmistakable features of a “New Courrèges“ interior. The layout of the Francs-Bourgeois space is articulated around an elongated gallery that opens onto rounded corners that are covered in mirrors, with one specially dedicated to accessories. Integrated shelving and furniture are a continuation of the vocabulary used in the New York store, complementing the codes established in previous Paris projects. In the spirit of House symmetry, both men’s and women’s collections take centerstage, invigorating Courrèges’ commitment to a universal wardrobe.

Boutique Soho

New York - September 2022 Courrèges to open a new store in New York’s Soho.
Located at North West Corner of Grand and Mercer Streets, this new store marks the brand’s return to the United States.

Since André and Coqueline Courrèges opened the fashion House in 1961, Courrèges has always been supported by the American press and buyers, who were the first to defend the revolutionary Courrèges’ style. In 1973, the first Courrèges boutique opened in Beverly Hills, California, and has been followed by many others across the US over the next decade, with New York beginning in 1974.

Today, for its return to New York and for the first time Downtown, Courrèges has once again called on the Belgian architect Bernard Dubois. This new store, located at 104 Grand Street, draws its inspiration from the codes established with Nicolas Di Felice for the historic flagship store Rue François Premier in Paris, which reopened in September 2020.

The New York store is divided into two spaces. Sharp geometric details in a white enveloping interior in the front, contrasting with the more subdued atmosphere of the all-mirrored fitting room area in the back. The mirrored ceilings dotted with club grade spotlights evoke a rave ambiance dear to Nicolas Di Felice, and respond to Courrèges’ emblematic white monochrome atmosphere.

Boutique Rive Gauche

Paris – October 2022

Courrèges opens its third Parisian store on the Left Bank.

Following the opening of the New York store in early September, Courrèges continues its expansion in Paris, after the renovation of the historic flagship store rue François 1er, and the opening of the store in the Marais rue Vieille du Temple.

The Courrèges Rive Gauche store results from a new collaboration with Belgian architect Bernard Dubois, following the codes set up with Nicolas Di Felice since September 2020.

Located at the Carrefour de la Croix-Rouge in the 6th arrondissement, the store is spread over two levels offering two spaces with contrasted atmospheres.

The entrance is formal, then a spiral staircase allows to access to the first floor, more comfortable, more enveloping, with a view on the activity of the crossroads. In contrast with the white monochrome atmosphere emblematic of Courrèges, the fitting room was designed as a lounge with a circular seat inviting to sit facing the mirrored booths. The spotlights, identical to those in the New York store, recall the clubbing ambiance dear to Nicolas Di Felice.

According to Adrien Da Maia, CEO of Courrèges, «The idea with this new store is to reconnect with Courrèges’ historic clients of the Left Bank by choosing a particularly strategic location for the lives of the inhabitants of this emblematic neighborhood. By signing at this address, on the very dynamic Carrefour de la Croix Rouge, this new store will act as a medium for the brand’s influence and reinforce its long-term presence in Paris.»

The Courrèges Rive Gauche store features all the iconic pieces of the Courrèges wardrobe, as well as the latest looks from the show winter 2022 collection.
