McQueen X Dafydd Jones Paris Photography Installation

A Parisian Confluence Of Art & Couture — McQueen’s Dafydd Jones Installation

PARIS, FRANCE — In a quiet, commanding moment at 372 Rue Saint-Honoré, 75001 Paris, Alexander McQueen unveils A Installation Of Works By Dafydd Jones, a limited-time exhibition pairing 26 iconic photographs by the British photographer with the house’s Spring Summer 2026 Pre-collection. The installation — open now through 29 January 2026 — transforms McQueen’s Rue Saint-Honoré flagship into a site where archival portraiture and contemporary couture converse.

This is where the soul of British portraiture meets McQueen’s visionary couture.

The Photographer & The Muse — Dafydd Jones’s Enduring Vision

Dafydd Jones (b. 1956) is celebrated for incisive, satirical portraits that defined a cultural moment. From Oxford’s “Bright Young Things” to museum collections, Jones’s oeuvre informs McQueen’s curatorial direction and thematic intent. Luxferity brand profile: Alexander McQueen.

How The Photographs Feed A Couture Narrative

The presentation positions Jones’s works as creative precepts that shaped silhouette, textile, and mood across McQueen’s Spring Summer 2026 Pre-collection. That practice — of maison exhibitions and curated shows — is an industry trend; Luxferity’s reporting on recent maison exhibitions shows a clear pivot toward experiential cultural programming. See Chanel’s La Galerie du 19M Tokyo coverage for a comparable strategy.

Paris As The Stage For Connoisseurship

Set inside a flagship retail address, the installation complements Paris’s season of maison shows and gallery moments — from Saint Laurent Rive Droite curatorial programs to large-scale Métiers d’Art presentations — and speaks to luxury’s conflation of retail and culture.
