A Living Runway of Flowers

Inspired by London's Chelsea Flower Show, Blooming Montaigne is curated by the Comité Montaigne, blending botanical beauty with the timeless sophistication of Paris's Golden Triangle. Over five days, the avenue, home to legendary fashion houses like Dior, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton, will host an outdoor exhibition of over 50 monumental silk flower installations, designed by the renowned scenographer Monsieur Flower.

These large-scale, whimsical blooms will adorn the façades and sidewalks, creating a surreal yet elegant atmosphere where high fashion meets horticulture through excpetional craftmanship. It's not just a stroll, it's a runway in bloom!

Couture Meets Creativity

More than a floral display, Blooming Montaigne is a celebration of luxury, craftsmanship, and artistic expression. Participating boutiques will join the festivities by dressing their windows with floral compositions, many inspired by the signature aesthetic of their maisons. Exclusive in-store experiences and themed décor will offer an immersive blend of fashion and nature, timed perfectly for Mother’s Day shopping in Paris.

Interactive photo booths placed along the avenue will let visitors capture the moment, turning this ephemeral installation into a shareable art experience.
