ÉDITIONS 7L

This fall 2026, Éditions 7L is publishing three new books in the fields of fashion and photography.

In the field of fashion, two books are being published. The first one, Chanel Shows. Fashion mise en scène, traces the evolution of the art of staging collections, from the intimate shows at the Haute Couture salons on Rue Cambon during Gabrielle Chanel’s era to the larger-than-life productions held at the Grand Palais such as the monumental tailored jacket or the planets of the solar system featured in Matthieu Blazy’s debut collection.

The second one, Headwear, Maison Michel – published to mark the 90^th anniversary of the prestigious millinery house – opens the door to the history of the hat, its forms and functions, whilst exploring the significance of this indispensable accessory. It traces the development of the House – both a witness to and a key player in almost a century of fashion – by offering a deep dive into its rich archives.

In the field of photography, 22 Loggerstraat, Zaandam by Noémie Ninot is the third volume in the 7L Photography Jury Grand Prix Collection, which celebrates emerging talent discovered at the Hyères Festival – fashion, photography and accessories. Through her images, situated at the crossroads of photography, performance and sculpture, she reminds us that identity is never constructed in isolation: it is made up of borrowings, repetitions, transmissions and metamorphoses, in a dialogue between personal memory and collective history. Three texts, three perspectives (a conversation, a fiction and an essay) shed light on Noémie Ninot’s approach to her work.
