Fashion Week in Paris: café, fashion and guests, Vogue Café makes its comeback in October 2026

In Paris, even the café follows the fashion calendar. Vogue relaunches its Café éphémère from October 1–4, 2026, right in the thick of Fashion Week Femme Printemps-Été 2027, slated from September 28 to October 6. After a first edition on Rue de Castiglione, the concept moves to a new address and this time serves its cups on Rue de Rivoli.

For now, Vogue is saying little about its second edition. The exact address, hours, the menu and any guests are yet to be announced. The magazine simply confirms the return of its coffee to-go, continuing the format launched last March.

The inaugural edition took place at 8 Rue de Castiglione, in Virgil Abloh’s former Off-White boutique. The café blended drinks, light bites, books and fashion-focused events, just a stone’s throw from Place Vendôme. The menu was crafted with Château Voltaire, offering coffees, teas, juices, finger sandwiches, cookies and pastries.

On the guest front, the lineup had enough star power to draw in the curious. Pharrell Williams, Baz Luhrmann, Anna Wintour, Chioma Nnadi, and Alexandre Samson were among the personalities announced or spotted mingling around the conversations held on site.

In practice, however, watching or attending these gatherings wasn’t easy for the public. There was no signup link for the talks, and the exact timetable wasn’t released in advance. The sessions were effectively private: you had to be on site at the right moment to catch a glimpse of a figure or follow an exchange. The cafe, for its part, was open to everyone, but the most anticipated part of the program remained far more under wraps.

The detour was worth it for the atmosphere anyway: a coffee in hand, a few pages of Vogue, industry insiders, and the full buzz of Fashion Week in the background.

It remains to be seen whether, for this second edition, Vogue will open its doors a little wider to its events. Rendez-vous from October 1–4, 2026, on Rue de Rivoli.
