Since January 2020, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, French fashion’s governing body, has operated the Sphere Paris Fashion Week @ Showroom, with the support of DEFI and L’Oréal Paris.

Sphere is part of its mission to support emerging designers. It brings together a group of brands selected for their creativity and development potential. For each brand, the project includes mentoring and training on legal and financial issues, like fundraising, to help them grow professionally.
The initiative takes place four times a year, in tandem with men’s and women's ready-to-wear, at the Palais de Tokyo.
