For his very first fashion show in Paris, the Dutch designer Duran Lantink , known for his cutting-edge approach and his commitment to sustainable fashion, told H.stories the complete production of his Autumn-Winter 2023 show.
Organized in the heart of the fashion capital, this fashion show marked a major step in the designer's career, combining conceptual aesthetics and strong visual impact. The challenge: to translate his radical creative vision into a raw space, where light, sound and scenography merged to tell a contemporary, rebellious and poetic story.
H.stories took care of the artistic direction, scenography and technical production, guaranteeing a balance between creative performance and logistical control, in an extremely short preparation time.
This large-scale project was carried out under exceptional conditions: complete assembly in a single day, interventions at dawn, and coordination of multiple technical service providers in record time. Thanks to the total commitment of the H.stories teams and the responsiveness of its founder, Hicham Abboub, the fashion show was able to take place on schedule, with a scenic rendering faithful to the universe of Duran Lantink. This highlight of Paris Fashion Week confirmed the agency's ability to transform constraints into opportunities, and to support the most demanding designers in the realization of highly artistic and technical projects.
The Duran Lantink Autumn-Winter 2023 fashion show represented a major logistical challenge: a complete assembly completed in four hours, with installation of the decor from 4:00 in the morning for a show scheduled at 10:30am.
The H.stories agency orchestrated each stage with precision, ensuring coordination between the light, sound, control and production teams, while respecting the artistic direction very singular about the creator.
This project perfectly illustrates the versatility and operational rigor of the agency on complex productions where every minute counts.
The creator wanted to personally thank the teams for their exceptional involvement:
“Thank you, Hicham, for all the strength and energy you put into my first show and for never letting me down, even when we had to do everything in just one day, starting at 4 a.m. for a 10:30 show.”
This heartfelt testimony reflects the relationship of trust and proximity between H.stories and the creators it supports, as well as the agency's ability to deliver ambitious productions in the most demanding contexts.
