Marc Jacobs opens Joy pop up in Galeries Lafayette, Paris
Published

Marc Jacobs on Thursday opened a fresh Joy pop up in Galeries Lafayette within its Haussmann flagship in Paris, presenting the latest instalment of an innovative rolling capsule project.
Customers entering the famed department store are immediately greeted by the bold, blue circular Joy space, finished off with large petals. Inside the 30-square-meter bud retail space, one finds a bright and bouncy Fall 2025 limited-edition capsule collection that plays on the intersection of art and fashion through visual storytelling and expressive design.
Underlining Marc Jacobs’ brand power: Galeries Lafayette devoted 12 windows and 42 flags on its façade to celebrate the four-week pop-up, which runs through to November 11.
This new space continues the season-long celebration of Joy, which includes collaborations with renowned artists David Shrigley, Derrick Adams, and Hattie Stewart.
Jacobs has a long and rich tradition of culture-defining creative collaborations- such as Murakami and Richard Prince during his tenure at Louis Vuitton – linkups that extend beyond the world of fashion. He continues this with Joy, as three distinctive voices in contemporary art delve into ready-to-wear, accessories, and signature bags.
Shrigley’s satirical wit channels an absurdity that sparks laughter; like his Joy version of the famous Marc Jacobs Tote, on which he writes: “Please don’t spoil the Joy by Making Stupid Comments.” Other totes are made of canvas covered the same bold floral blues and priced at €275.
Adams’ vibrant geometries celebrate colour and rhythm with some natty sweatshirts and T-shirts, priced at €155 and €55 respectively.
Stewart’s pop-surrealist florals and characters offer a burst of optimism, seen in skateboards and very cool psychedelic Converse sneakers. Footwear priced very competitively, like the whole capsule, at €130.
Extending Joy beyond the brand, Marc invited a circle of like-minded brands to interpret the campaign through their own iconic products. Besides Converse, participants include SHUT skateboards; Moleskine journals, with collectible box sets of premium Crayola adult creative tools; and Maxbone, with a range of luxe pet accessories. Upstairs in Galeries Lafayette, there is even a further second floor Joy pop up that includes a gumball machine.
Joy pop-ups have already popped up in New York, Tokyo, London, and Athens. After Paris, the next destination will be Düsseldorf.

Recognised as a protected geographical indication in France, Dentelle de Calais-Caudry says it has begun the process of becoming a European geographical indication to better protect its identity against low-grade counterfeits.
From December 1, the European Union will introduce a simplified procedure under Regulation 2024/1143, which now governs geographical indications and protected designations of origin across its Member States.
Crucially, Europe is now extending a protection regime to artisanal, manufactured, and industrial products, which was previously reserved for agricultural produce, foodstuffs, and spirits.
“The Dentelliers de Calais-Caudry have already applied to the INPI, which is responsible for forwarding their application to the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office), so that their geographical indication can be recognised throughout the European Union”, say the Calais and Caudry lacemakers.
Dentelle de Calais-Caudry became a regulated geographical indication in France at the beginning of 2024. It took the local industry’s representatives five years to achieve this goal, which aims to distinguish and protect know-how that is more than two centuries old, and relies on the use of imposing, complex Leavers looms, which lend their name to the lace they produce. In 1958, the “Dentelle de Calais” label was launched, and in 2015 it became “Dentelle de Calais-Caudry”, to include manufacturers from the Caudry area.
“Regularly confronted with very poor-quality counterfeits that damage their image and sales, the lacemakers of Calais-Caudry will, by obtaining this European geographical indication, benefit from legal protection across the 27 countries of the Union”, says the label, which hopes that “this guarantee of authenticity and quality, which will reassure all designers, stylists and lovers of Calais-Caudry lace, will help safeguard this know-how, these ‘passion’ trades, and accelerate international development.”
Today, Calais-Caudry lace is produced in Calais by Codentel, Cosetex, Noyon (Darquer), and Sophie Hallette / Riechers Marescot, which also operates in Caudry. The town is also home to Beauvillain Davoine, Darquer & Méry, Dentelles André Laude, Dentelles MC, Jean Bracq, and Solstiss.

The new directive aims to cut waste, reduce environmental damage, and strengthen the EU’s economic resilience by driving sustainable innovation and decreasing reliance on raw materials. It aligns with the EU’s Competitiveness Compass and Strategic Agenda for 2024–29, European Commission said in a press release.
The European Union’s revised Waste Framework Directive came into effect yesterday, establishing unified rules for EPR in textiles and setting binding targets to reduce food waste.
Aimed at cutting waste and boosting circularity, it requires Member States to set up EPR schemes, reduce food waste by up to 30 per cent by 2030, and promote eco-modulated fees, and sustainable design.
The EU’s textile and clothing industry remains an economic powerhouse, generating €170 billion (~$198.9 billion) in 2023 and employing 1.3 million people across nearly 197,000 companies. Yet, it is also one of the most resource-intensive sectors, ranking third in water and land use impact and fifth in raw material use and greenhouse gas emissions. In 2019 alone, the EU generated 12.6 million tonnes of textile waste, with only one-fifth separately collected for reuse or recycling.
To address these challenges, the revised directive introduces two major sets of measures to promote circularity and competitiveness:
- Under mandatory EPR schemes, each Member State must establish a system requiring producers of textiles and footwear to pay fees for every product placed on the market. These funds will finance collection, reuse, recycling, and disposal operations. The fees will also support consumer awareness campaigns and R&D in sustainable design and waste prevention. EPR fees will vary according to sustainability criteria under the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)—a principle known as eco-modulation. Producers will pay less for durable, recyclable, and eco-friendly products, incentivising circular design.
- The directive also sets new rules for managing used textiles, ensuring that all separately collected textiles are classified as waste to prevent false reuse labelling and illegal exports. Unsorted textile waste will fall under the Waste Shipment Regulation.
Member States have 20 months to transpose the directive into national law and 30 months to set up their textile and footwear EPR schemes. Competent authorities must be designated by January 17, 2026, and updated food waste prevention plans finalised by October 17, 2027.
