Context

For Parisians and visitors alike, Christmas at Galeries Lafayette is more than just shopping—it’s an experience. Every year, the department store transforms into a festive wonderland, captivating audiences with breathtaking decorations and immersive storytelling. In 2024, following its milestone anniversary, Galeries Lafayette wanted to extend the celebration with a Christmas season that was not only spectacular but also aligned with its ongoing commitment to sustainability.

To bring this vision to life, the store entrusted its holiday decor to Kevin Germanier, a designer renowned for his upcycled couture, including the striking Golden Voyager costume from the Olympic closing ceremony. His creations set the stage for a season bursting with color, light, and a deep respect for the environment.

Our Ambition

To amplify the magic of Galeries Lafayette’s Christmas campaign across all offline and online touchpoints, ensuring the story was not just seen—but felt—by audiences everywhere. This meant creating a 360-degree communication strategythat infused every print and digital asset with the same wonder found inside the store, all while staying true to the brand’s sustainability goals.
