Capturing the Daily Lives of Parisian Women with Humor and Poetry

The "LES PARISIENS" exhibition is an open-air event featuring approximately 50 illustrated posters by KANAKO displayed on 1,000 public advertising columns throughout Paris. These illustrations, which capture everyday moments of Parisian life with humor and poetry, depict the staff of "MY LITTLE PARIS" and readers who responded to a public call, showcasing their imagined Parisians. The artworks will be displayed in various locations across the city.

Launched a few years ago in Paris, the newsletter "MY LITTLE PARIS" is an information site for Parisian women, packed with the latest trends, hidden boutiques, and stylish restaurants. With a distinctly Parisian sensibility, the site's content, such as "Why not nap under the oldest tree in Paris?" or "How about dinner at a restaurant with only one table?", gained word-of-mouth popularity and now boasts over a million registered members.

Furthermore, MY LITTLE BOX, a monthly subscription service delivered to select members, is set to launch in Japan this October, with pre-orders beginning in early September.

KANAKO's illustrations, which have captured the hearts of Parisian women, are now displayed across Paris on various billboards. The exhibition runs until the end of this month, so be sure to check it out if you visit Paris.
