For spring 2027, Vincent Garnier Pressiat transformed a floor of the recently reopened Bus Palladium — where stars like Serge Gainsbourg and Mick Jagger stayed in the 1970s — into an intimate stage for a woman in the messy aftermath of a breakup.
Guests were invited behind room doors to discover scenes of morning-after disorder: one model struggled to light a cigarette in front of a fan, another got a tattoo on a bed and a third stood beside the sofa holding a chainsaw. On a room-service trolley, a vibrator sat on a dirty plate.
The experience was every bit as chaotic as the designer intended. “I feel like she hates her boyfriend. Doesn’t know what to do with it. She’s crying. But when she checks out, she’s ready to be fierce and pretty again,” he said.
Beneath the hotel-room theatrics, corsetry shaped the clothes: dresses laced at the sides, bold shoulders reinforced with fishbone structure. Pressiat also played with laser-worked fabrics, silk, beads and feathers, and distorted animal prints, lending the collection a distinct groupie feel.
