The Vogue Café made its debut in Paris on March 5, 2026, during Paris Fashion Week for the Fall 2026 collections. Located at 8 Rue de Castiglione near Place Vendôme, the pop-up will operate through March 7. Burberry co-hosted the opening afternoon tea event.
Paris Fashion Week became more lively with the arrival of the Vogue Café on Wednesday, March 5, 2026. This temporary venue follows similar pop-ups in London and Milan, serving as a blend of coffee shop and salon open to the public until March 7.
The opening featured a livestream of Antonin Tron’s debut Balmain show, followed by an afternoon tea co-hosted by Burberry and editorial heads from American, British, and French editions of Vogue: Chloe Malle, Chioma Nnadi, and Claire Thomson-Jonville. The space was decorated with flowers, framed vintage posters, and a shelf of Vogue books.
Attendees included models Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Natasha Poly, Stella Hanan, and Noémie Lenoir, as well as industry figures like Nordstrom’s Rickie De Sole, Caro Daur, and Camille Charrière. Guests enjoyed tea, coffee, and matcha served in Burberry-branded cups by staff in custom Vogue aprons. Other offerings included collagen smoothies, detox juices, chocolate and almond cookies, and Champagne.
The event aligned with Burberry’s 170th anniversary celebrations in Paris. Burberry catalogs in the venue highlighted the “Portraits of an Icon” campaign, featuring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Kristin Scott Thomas, Little Simz, Karen Elson, and Kate Moss in trench coats.
Over the next three days, visitors can access Château Voltaire coffee, tea, pastries, books, magazines, and merchandise. Scheduled programming includes a conversation between Louis Vuitton’s Pharrell Williams and Claire Thomson-Jonville, Moulin Rouge! director Baz Luhrmann with Anna Wintour, Chioma Nnadi with Alexandre Samson of the Musée Galliera’s Haute Couture department, and Isabelle Lortholary with Fanny Schulmann on the upcoming Lee Miller retrospective at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris.
The café provides a respite amid the busy Fashion Week schedule, allowing time for discussion and refreshment at 8 Rue de Castiglione.
