This season, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM)’s Sphere showroom welcomes two emerging labels for the first time. Gardouch and Rkivecity join five labels already well established in the French capital: C.R.É.O.L.E, Cachí, La Cage, Ouest Paris, and Lazoschmidl.
Rémy Guerra explores memories and nostalgia linked to childhood – Gardouch
Hosted at the Palais de Tokyo during Paris Fashion Week Homme from January 21 to 25, the two brands were selected for their distinctive visions. Gardouch is a French label named after a village in south-west France. Founded in 2024 by Rémy Guerra, a graduate of Amsterdam’s Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Gardouch is guided by a central idea: memory fades if we cease to hold on to it.
Two labels exploring time
With collections entitled “Le loup au fond du couloir” and “Jouer à faire semblant,” multidisciplinary artist Rémy Guerra draws directly on his childhood memories, reframing them through themes that continue to resonate with adults. His colourful, eclectic hats, tops, dungarees, and tutus evoke a birthday-party wardrobe, poised between naïve craftsmanship, anachronisms, and deadstock materials. With his “Les ombres” line, the designer strips the pieces of colour, rendering them entirely black and leaving only their essence.

Alongside Gardouch, Sphere welcomes Rkivecity. The label crafts a wardrobe inspired by a host of elements gleaned from the everyday by its designer, Ritwirk Khanna. A graduate of New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, where he immersed himself in material histories, vintage, and archives, he came to believe that garments bear the imprint of time. On his return to India, he worked in Gujarat’s Special Economic Zones on textile waste management projects, an experience that revealed the scale of overconsumption and marked a turning point in his career.
In the early 2020s, the designer founded Rkivecity, a brand conceived as a research and design laboratory dedicated to circularity. Drawing on traditional techniques such as boro and raffoo, the brand develops zero-waste remanufacturing systems. Each piece is repaired, reconstructed and reinterpreted to give it new life, in a process that saw Ritwirk Khanna take the top prize at the R|Elan Circular Design Challenge, a United Nations-supported award centred on circularity.

Bringing together two British brands “united by a shared love of beauty and storytelling”, the collaboration will see Dalloway Terrace transformed into an immersive space “celebrating love, nature and artistry”. It’s a trend we’re seeing more and more often with brands linking up with complementary destinations in a way that benefits both partners.
Inspired by Elizabeth Scarlett’s signature wildflower motifs – the terrace will feature a specially commissioned floral installation, “drawing guests into the brand’s romantic, nature-led world”.
At the heart of the partnership is a limited-edition Afternoon Tea, specially created to celebrate the partnership with a special menu (pastries and sweets inspired by the brand’s signature storytelling).
To mark the event, every guest who books a space on the day will receive a complimentary limited-edition Elizabeth Scarlett love heart stripe pouch (RRP £38), created for the collaboration. Some of the proceeds will also be donated to wildlife conservation.
Elizabeth Petrides, founder of Elizabeth Scarlett said: “We wanted to create a moment where guests can slow down, look closer, and feel immersed in the natural world – even in the heart of the city. From the wildflowers that surround you to the wildlife artwork at the core of our brand, it honours the magic that happens when artistry and nature meet.”
The CGT labour union at LVMH‘s champagne units called for new strike action next Thursday, as it seeks to pressure management to compensate workers for lost bonuses.

CGT labour representatives from the Moet&Chandon and Veuve Clicquot champagne houses said in a video addressed to workers on Friday that they should drop their tasks for “at least three hours.” The union launched protests last month against a cut in annual bonuses and other benefits at the world’s largest luxury group, even as it keeps The group hasn’t yet publicly commented on the labour dispute. LVMH’s Moet Hennessy alcohol division had no immediate comment when contacted by Reuters on Friday.
Management at the unit had offered to pay a one-off 1,000 euros ($1,162.20) payment to workers after it said it would not pay usual annual bonuses amid a decline in sales, said the CGT, an offer “not at the height of our expectations.”
“It is really important to continue to put pressure on the company,” a CGT official said in the video message, adding that further talks are planned for Wednesday. So far, no strike action has been announced at LVMH’s other drinks businesses, including the Hennessy cognac brand.
