La Samaritaine is testing out new fashion propositions in its spaces, and it’s the South Korean label that’s taking over the atrium to introduce its sleek, feminine looks to customers of the Parisian department store. The brand, born in 1993, has set up a 62-square-meter pop-up store on level -1, open from August 30 until October 30. Two months of experimentation in the French market, where Time began to parade in 2023 during Paris Fashion Week (starting at the Palais de Tokyo).
This temporary store is part of a global expansion plan for the brand, which intends to extend its footprint beyond its own borders. In a setting enhanced by metallic surfaces, an olive-green carpet and curvaceous furniture, the Fall-Winter 2025/26 collection features rounded jackets, muted knits and numerous shawls, “particularly popular in Korea,” according to the company.
Time, whose artistic director is Jung in Choi, will parade again in the French capital in a month’s time, to present its spring/summer 2026 collection. Afterwards, the company aims to open its first permanent boutique in Paris.
The Time brand belongs to the Korean Handsome group, launched in 1987, which owns or operates some forty ready-to-wear labels, cosmetics labels and lifestyle brands (in-house and under license). It has a network of 1,300 outlets and is itself owned by the Hyundai Department Store Group.

Wales Bonner has launched its lookbook for Autumn Winter 2026, shot by Malick Bodian. Exploring the romance of harmony, Wales Bonner reimagines classic uniforms through a sensuous, poetic lens.
Inspired by an elemental simplicity, Wales Bonner presents design classics including suits, polo silhouettes, top coats, and chore jackets, reimagined through the label’s signature European heritage meets Afro Atlantic lens, for its Autumn Winter 2026 collection ‘Morning Raga.’ Driven by the pursuit of harmony in modernist architectural traditions, both men’s and women’s looks feature nostalgic tailoring and a subtle blend of textures, from Italian wool and satin to leather and metal studs.
“From early design ideals of purity to the bold vision of figures like Indian architect Balkrishna Doshi, the collection presents a wardrobe between the practical and the sensual,” the brand announced in a press release.
The almost liminal set was designed by Jabez Bartlett and looks were styled by Tom Guinness. Jonny Lu Studio’s art direction continued the dreamy atmosphere of the campaign as models cast by Rachel Chandler pose in contemplative stances.
Grace Wales Bonner launched her eponymous label in 2014, following her graduation from Central Saint Martins in London, and she won the LVMH Young Designer Prize in 2016. Wales Bonner was named as Hermès’ creative director of menswear in October last year.

Gaurav Gupta has opened its first flagship store dedicated to menswear. Located in New Delhi’s DLF Emporio, the boutique measures around 2,300 square feet and establishes Gaurav Gupta Man as a core pillar of the Gaurav Gupta brand.
The store inside the premium mall was designed by architect Karanbir Duggal in close collaboration with Gaurav Gupta, the brand announced in a press release. Its bold interior resembles a fluid maze, guiding the shopper through curved corridors, past slightly surrealist sculptures, through to rooms filled with the label’s occasion wear in a move to encourage exploration and discovery.
“This space reflects how I think about menswear today,” commented Gaurav Gupta about the intent behind the space. “It is fluid, sculptural, and introspective. The store becomes an extension of the Gaurav Gupta Man, where architecture and clothing exist in quiet conversation with one another.”
Gaurav Gupta first introduced his men’s offering in 2017 at fashion event GQ Fashion Nights and has dressed celebrities including Ranveer Singh. The new store caters to the label’s growing national and global menswear clientele with a selection of its signature tuxedos, bandhgalas, and ceremonial dress as well as new verticals including kurtas and Nehru jackets, shirts, accessories, bow ties, footwear, and finishing pieces.
“The concept of Shunya informed the way we shaped the space,” said architect Karanbir Duggal. “Emptiness was treated as an active element, allowing the architecture to feel calm, intentional, and deeply immersive rather than visually dense.”
