For his Fall/Winter 2025 collection, Pierre Mahéo of Officine Générale hosted a show at Café Le Rouquet, a charming Parisian spot near his home. The setting, with its 1950s vibe and neon-lit ceiling, captured the essence of everyday Parisian life.

Mahéo, inspired by his daily espresso and people-watching, wanted a show that felt real. "It’s a strategic spot for stylistic observation," he says. His collection blends casual elegance with thoughtful design, shaped by everyday moments and feedback from friends.

Since 2013, Mahéo has focused on quality fabrics with a luxurious feel. His café show emphasizes that fashion is about connection, not spectacle. "Meet me at the counter to discuss it," he invites, proving style thrives in real, meaningful moments.
