Fashion Week Pop-Ups: Making a Statement in Paris and NYC

Not Just a Show—It’s a Moment

Fashion Week is the Super Bowl of style—and it’s not just for runway regulars. Brands big and
small now use this global spotlight to showcase themselves through immersive pop-up
experiences. Whether you’re based in Paris or NYC (or want to tap into those markets), a pop-up
can be your runway moment without the catwalk.

Why Fashion Week Pop-Ups Work

  • Massive visibility: Influencers, editors, and shoppers are all in town and
    actively exploring.
  • Event synergy: Pair your activation with existing shows and streetwear
    moments.
  • Social amplification: Tag-worthy setups can get shared faster than looks
    off the runway.

Case Study: A Boutique Pop-Up in Le Marais

During Paris Fashion Week 2024, an emerging genderless clothing brand launched a 3-day
pop-up in a Merry Popin venue in Le Marais. With sculptural hangers, fragrance mists, and a
fashion zine corner, the brand saw coverage from two fashion blogs and 400+ visitors. The space
was also designed for Reels—leading to 70k+ views online.

Design for Impact

Fashion pop-ups are more than product displays. Think mood, music, light, texture. Your
concept should feel intentional and photo-ready. Consider projection, custom walls, mirrored
spaces, or even scent design to create a full sensory experience.

Prime Locations Matter

Foot traffic is high during Fashion Week—take advantage. Merry Popin offers stunning
storefronts and flexible venues in New York,  Paris, and beyond. Your space should reflect your
collection’s personality and be accessible to the fashion crowd.

 

Promotion Tactics

  1. Partner with a stylist or fashion editor to co-host your opening.
  2. Invite influencers for a “first look” preview.
  3. Create QR code cards that lead to an exclusive digital lookbook.
  4. Use geo-targeted ads on Instagram to catch Fashion Week attendees nearby.

Fast Setup, High Style

You don’t need a 6-month plan. Many brands secure their pop-up space with just 2–4 weeks
of prep. Our team helps with logistics, signage, lighting, and vendor coordination so you can
focus on your craft.
