Just after Fashion Week, the Chaillot – National Dance Theatre— a venue accustomed to showcasing the creations of top fashion houses— will swap its runway for a dynamic stage where fashion is not just seen, but felt through dance, embodied in performances. On March 13 and 14, 2026, all eyes turn to a new edition of Chaillot Experience Mode,
a mini-festival that brings together designers, musicians, and choreographers in a vibrant lineup of performances, screenings, panel discussions, choreographed runway shows, workshops, and exhibitions—creating a dialogue between fashion and contemporary art.
Launched in 2021, the Chaillot Experiences regularly invite audiences to explore the connections between dance and other disciplines. Music, contemporary art, sports, world cultures… Each edition opens up the theater’s spaces to new forms of creation and performance. After a highly acclaimed fashion-focused debut in April 2025, the event has become an annual fixture, featuring a program designed to bridge fashion and choreographic arts.

Yves Saint Laurent and Roland Petit, Dior and Sharon Eyal… Dance and fashion share a timeless romance. Chaillot celebrates this union by providing an elegant setting worthy of its storied history. In collaboration with Villa Noailles in Hyères, fresh creations bring together young choreographers and fashion designers, alongside choreographed runway shows and moments of mentorship, continuing this vital dialogue between clothing and movement. Here, fashion follows the body, and the body dictates the rhythm.
Sponsored by fashion designer and artist Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, this new edition centers around a highlight created by Vladimir Cauchemar, a DJ, composer, and French electronic music producer, and Léo Walk, a choreographer. Together, they present Imagination in Power, a live performance performed on stage by Léo Walk and his dancers.
Throughout these two days, the main performance is complemented by meetings, discussions, and workshops. Featuring choreographic presentations, costume-focused workshops, and opportunities for dialogue on fashion and design, the program is designed to be an immersive, dynamic experience that feels both lively and fully embodied.
Once again this year, Chaillot Expérience Mode offers an immersive dive into the ever-evolving world of fashion. Ready to see fashion from a fresh perspective?
