Since January 2020, the FHCM has operated 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 invited to the official calendar or fashion prize winner, selected for their creativity and development potential.

The Menswear Fall/Winter 2025-2026 showroom session will take place at the Palais de Tokyo from Wednesday, January 22 to Saturday, January 26, 2025. A digital version will also be available by invitation with the help of Le New Black and Grand Shooting from January 22, 2025.

The Sphere Paris Fashion Week Showroom will feature Bianca Saunders, Cachí, C.R.E.O.L.E, La Cage, Lagos Space Programme, Lazoschmidl, Les Fleurs Studio, and Ouest Paris this season.

Bianca Saunders
A graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, Bianca Saunders founded her eponymous brand in 2017. Her collections are influenced by questioning identity, movement, and music. Drawing on her dual British and Jamaican heritage, the designer harmoniously fuses masculine and feminine references in today’s wardrobe. In 2021, she won the Andam Prize and, the following year, joined the Official Calendar of Paris Fashion Week.

Cachí
Winner of the AMI x IFM Entrepreneurship Prize in 2023, Cachí was founded in 2024 by FrancoArgentine duo Belén Frias and Élise Girault. Their paths first crossed in Paris in 2018, sparking a creative journey where fashion became their shared language. The brand is built on three core values: connection, sharing, and balance. Each piece tells a story with both poise and purpose. For the Fall-Winter 2025/2026 collection, the white of Limoges porcelain blends with the blue of the Argentine passionflower, offering a wardrobe that connects past and future, Argentina and France.

C.R.E.O.L.E
Designer, photo stylist, artistic director, and DJ, Vincent Frederic-Colombo has long navigated between event, music, fashion, and the inclusive events of the La Creole collective, of which he is a co-founder. In 2022, he begins the marketing of the brand C.R.E.O.L.E, defining it as a powerful manifesto centered on the legacy of the Creole diaspora and its future. Through his brand, he challenges the status of the male wardrobe by transitioning towards unisex codes, with a particular interest in workwear-inspired silhouettes. In 2023, the brand joined the Official Calendar of the Paris Fashion Week presentations.

La Cage
Finalists of the 39th Hyères International Fashion Festival in October 2024, Victor Koehler and Victoria Baia founded La Cage while still students at Duperré School. In 2023, they decided to start selling their designs. Drawing influence from 90s cinema, the duo puts a fresh spin on traditional styles, especially parade and ceremonial uniforms, to create a wardrobe that makes a bold statement. Made in France, La Cage pieces combine artisanal craftsmanship and a handmade approach, perfectly embodying their vision.

Lagos Space Programme
Lagos Space Programme, which was created by Adeju Thompson in 2018, is a design concept based in Lagos, centered around multidisciplinary artistic collaborations. Adeju and his team envision the future of Africa by offering innovative interpretations of beauty through high-end, non-gendered pieces. Crafted in justly compensated local workshops, the brand advocates for slow fashion, which can highlight the ancestral work of Benin metalworkers or organic indigo natural dyeing. In 2021, Lagos Space Programme became a semi-finalist for the LVMH Prize, and pieces created by the brand were exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the RISD Museum, among others. In May 2023, the brand won the International Woolmark Prize and joined the Official Calendar of the Paris Fashion Week presentations.

Lazoschmidl
Founded in 2014 by German-Swedish duo Andreas Schmidl and Josef Lazo, Lazoschmidl combines fashion, design, and storytelling. Each collection is inspired by a narrative, offering a distinctive, story-driven approach to their creations. Awarded the 2016 Innovation Prize by the Swedish Fashion Council, the duo blends pop culture and personal stories to create an eclectic, vibrant, and undeniably sexy world. The brand challenges societal norms and has been featured in the Paris Fashion Week Menswear Official Calendar since June 2019.

Les Fleurs Studio
A graduate of EASD Valence, designer Maria Bernad founded Les Fleurs Studio in 2017. Committed to sustainable fashion, she draws inspiration from her connection to nature and an artistic sensitivity shaped during her Spanish adolescence. Her approach focuses on restoring and transforming vintage and second-hand pieces. These creations embody a romantic aesthetic enriched by mythological references. The Parisian label will debut in the Paris Fashion Week Menswear Official Calendar in January 2025.

Ouest Paris
After graduating from Atelier Chardon Savard, Arthur Robert worked for over ten years as a designer for several Parisian houses before launching his eponymous label in 2021. Capturing the zeitgeist with positivity and freedom and exploring pop culture Ouest Paris revisits the archetypes of an urban and modern wardrobe. Ouest Paris is Paris meets dreamy California; raw denim, skate-inspired pieces, traditional volumes, workwear details, and sustainable fabrics. Finalist of the 2023 Pierre Bergé Andam Prize, Arthur Robert echoes a multicultural vision aware of the environmental and societal issues of our time. Ouest Paris joins the Official Calendar of Paris Fashion Week in January 2024.
