Inside Printemps' Ritzy Grand Opening Party on Wall Street

Printemps may be well-known across the pond, particularly for its iconic department store in Paris, to fashion and lifestyle enthusiasts, but that's all set to change. The French luxury retailer opened doors in New York City with a Wall Street location, and it celebrated the moment with a ritzy, celebrity-studded party on Thursday night.

Hosted by CEO Jean-Marc Bellaiche, the evening brought together a glittering mix of fashion insiders, Hollywood stars, and industry tastemakers to toast to this milestone moment. A-listers including Parker Posey, Katie Holmes, and Meadow Walker were among the high-profile guests who sipped on cocktails while exploring the store’s elegantly designed interiors, envisioned by Parisian designer Laura Gonzalez. Printemps executives mingled with the crowd, sharing insights into the brand’s expansion and its seamless fusion of French heritage with New York City energy.

Entertainment for the night was just as elevated as the setting: Noah Cyrus delivered an intimate performance, captivating the room with her soulful vocals, while DJ Francesca Keller kept the celebratory spirit alive with a dynamic set. Guests also indulged in a menu curated by celebrated chef Gregory Gourdet, featuring a selection of refined small bites that perfectly complemented the evening’s atmosphere.

"New York offers a dynamic mix of cultural diversity and global influence, making it the perfect location for our brand’s expansion and the introduction of our new concept,” Printemps CEO Jean-Marc Bellaiche said in a press release on the store opening. “Printemps New York represents a completely fresh approach—it’s not a department store."

With its New York flagship, Printemps cements itself as a new luxury destination in the city, blending a Parisian elegance with a modern feeling to create a refreshed retail experience.
