For Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week SS26, H.stories brought Ronald van der Kemp’s Wardrobe 23 to life, delivering the full production from first concept to final runway.
Hosted at the iconic Studio Astre in Paris, the show blended the glamour of 1960s couture with the sustainable vision that defines Ronald van der Kemp’s creative identity. True to his commitment to responsible luxury, the designer presented a collection where upcycling, craftsmanship, and theatricality came together in a rare balance of heritage and innovation. Ronald van der Kemp chose to break the “fourth wall.” Instead of remaining behind the scenes, he stepped onto his own runway, camera in hand, capturing his models live as they walked. This transformed the fashion show into a living performance where the boundaries between designer, model, and audience disappeared. The result was an intimate, spontaneous, and deeply human interpretation of Haute Couture, placing the present moment at the center of the storytelling.

Our team delivered a fully tailored, end-to-end production with a holistic approach combining technical precision, logistical excellence, and creative direction. Under the leadership of our CEO, Hicham Abboub, acting as Executive Producer, we managed the entire project: from venue layout and scenography, lighting design, sound design, backstage coordination, to overall production supervision. Through this luxury fashion production in Paris, H.stories continues to reinforce its expertise in supporting leading Haute Couture houses and delivering exceptional runway experiences.
As an agency specialized in luxury fashion show production, we work with precision, discretion, and high standards to create an environment where designers can fully express their vision with confidence.
The artistic direction of a Haute Couture runway begins long before show day. From the earliest planning stages, we handle venue scouting, technical assessments, and scenographic implementation to ensure every detail supports the creative concept. Lighting and sound design are also central pillars of our artistic direction, shaping both atmosphere and emotional impact.
We oversee every production department to guarantee seamless coordination between creative, technical, and operational teams: backstage management, run of show, master call sheets, HMUA coordination (hair, makeup, nails), supplier management, general production control, show timing, and security operations.
It is this dual expertise—creative vision and structural execution—that defines our positioning in luxury event production.
The relationship between H.stories and Ronald van der Kemp has been built over time through our ability to consistently deliver shows that meet both artistic ambition and operational excellence.
Our team understands the brand’s unique expectations, its strong identity, its commitment to sustainable fashion, and its desire to create runway experiences that feel increasingly immersive and distinctive. This ability to execute with precision and flexibility has made H.stories a trusted long-term partner.
As Ronald van der Kemp shared:
“You and your team are such a pleasure to work with. It was a very stressful season for me, and it was great to feel your support.”
This testimonial reflects the true essence of our work: delivering more than production—building trusted partnerships in service of excellence.
