Sacai: The Main Guest in Fashion



For over 160 years, Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche has consistently unearthed and championed global cultures with its unique aesthetic sensibility. This year, marking the 90th anniversary of Franco-Japanese cultural cooperation, the department store presents an exhibition themed around Japan. The event is divided into two sections—fashion and culture—each featuring creators of world renown.

Among the more than 100 leading Japanese brands participating, Sacai takes center stage in the fashion segment. Alongside the Fall/Winter collections for Sacai, Sacai Luck, and Sacai Men, the brand will unveil a special women's capsule collection and exclusive items designed specifically for this exhibition. The capsule collection comprises five styles, including cardigans and parkas, characterized by their distinctive use of mixed materials and a packable design where pockets transform into carrying pouches. The limited-edition items include a variety of accessories and goods, created in collaboration with Tokyo-based artists and brands.
