Postcards from Paris Fashion Week
A visual diary of Saie in The City of Light.
Our team just got back from the dreamiest trip to Paris—and the city’s je ne sais quoi truly stays with you, even after you’ve left. It’s no secret that France’s capital is overflowing with charm—the café terraces lining the streets, the Eiffel Tower sparkling in the night, the slower pace of life (compared to our hometown of New York City). There’s such a profound appreciation for beauty in the architecture, the gardens all around, and the effortlessly chic Parisian style. And during Fashion Week, inspiration and glamour were in full force, both at the shows and beyond.
Take a peek…
ON THE RUNWAY
The latest collections from Saint Laurent, Chloé, and Victoria Beckham caught our eye.
Our founder, Laney Crowell, attended The Row’s fall 2025 show—and no phones or photos were allowed. It was a welcome reminder to be present and fully take in the moment—rather than watching through a screen. What we can tell you: The collection was impossibly elegant, as expected. Crowell says, “It was art.” One of her favorite looks was a soft white coat with a curved, oversized collar and she loved all the cozy tights.
The show took place at “The Egyptian Room” just off of Rue des Capucines, decorated with florals by Castor Fleuriste. Coincidentally, they’ve been on our mood board forever, and we finally had the chance to partner with them for the arrangements at…
SUITE SAIE AT CHÂTEAU VOLTAIRE
ON OUR VANITY
We hosted friends at Château Voltaire, offering Saie makeup touch-ups, and, yes, pastries too. And apparently, the beautiful hotel—located right in the heart of Paris— attracts lots of beautiful people: “We had so many impromptu run-ins in the lobby with friends who were also in town for fashion week,” says our events and marketing manager Misha Lasoff.
Sophia Roe stopped by the suite and had her makeup done by makeup artist Mantis Lepretre one day and makeup artist Filomena Natoli the next. Roe wore SuperSuede™ Blush in Mia, layered with a touch of Bella along her cheekbones.
Château Voltaire was designed by Festen, a Paris-based architecture firm known for creating some of our favorite hotels, including Hotel Du Couvent in Nice, France, and Les Roches Rouges, which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. They are also behind the Reformation Flagship store in Beverly Hills. If you've visited any of these locations, you’re already familiar with the exquisite attention to detail that defines their properties.
ON THE MENU
Escargot, crêpes, and onion soup are offered on just about every corner. But we couldn’t resist saying oui to steak frites for dinner… every single night… and we enjoyed every single bite.
These are our favorites, listed in order:
1. Le Petit Chaise was divine. Claiming to be the oldest restaurant in Paris, "according to the record books," it dates back to 1680 when Georges Rameau, a wine merchant, began serving wine and light fare. Over centuries, their recipes have evolved, yet they have remarkably stood the test of time. In fact, we would say they have the best steak frites in the city.
2. Le Bistrot Paul Bert is “a beloved and perfect example of a Parisian bistrot,” says Lasoff. Honorable mention: The sauce au poivre (peppercorn sauce) was the richest and most buttery we tried.
3. Chez Georges is Julia Child's favorite restaurant in Paris—and officially one of ours.
ON THE MAP
We popped into the newly-opened Preclothed store designed by Camille Vergnes, and were delighted to find a curated selection of designer vintage pieces from brands like Hermès, YSL, Jil Sander, Chloé, and many more of our favorites.
Lasoff and our director of creative Erin Starkweather strolled through the 16th Arrondissement and they recommend venturing to this district for a glimpse into history and design.
Here, a few gems they visited:
Galerie 54
Located on Rue Mallet-Stevens, a street named in honor of architect Robert Mallet-Stevens, this furniture gallery is housed within L'hôtel Reifenberg (one of the six distinctive homes designed by Mallet-Stevens that line the street). As you step through an original Jean Prouvé gate, you are transported to a world of incredible craftsmanship.
Villa La Roche
This historic house—also known as Maison La Roche—was designed by Le Corbusier and his cousin Pierre Jeanneret between 1923 and 1925. They built it for Raoul La Roche, a Swiss banker from Basel who collected avant-garde art. These days, the house is a museum where you can see Le Corbusier’s work up close.
Résidence de la Muette
You can find this early modernist building (designed by architects Jean Ginsberg and Georges Massé in 1953) on Rue du Docteur-Blanche. It’s known for its sleek balconies, but we have to say, the swimming pool really makes a splash.
We’d love to hear about your favorite spots in The City of Light—share them with us in the comments!
