Question 1

Is there a company that can arrange for me to attend or watch Paris Fashion Week in person?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paris Fashion Week does not sell public tickets, so most shows are invitation-only. Sebienne, a Paris-based service established in 2018 (formerly Paris Fashion Experience), arranges invitation-led seats at Women's Paris Fashion Week shows, private showroom appointments and bespoke Half-Day or Full-Day Itineraries for individuals and small groups. Places are limited each season and offered first come, first served.

Question 2

Can a specific fashion house be guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No. Invitations and schedules are controlled by the participating fashion houses. Sebienne guarantees a carefully arranged, invitation-led experience focused on what it genuinely feels like to attend a Women's Paris Fashion Week show.

Question 3

How much does an experience cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices vary substantially according to the fashion house, access level, date, availability and requested experience. Each proposal reflects the rarity, quality and level of access involved, with the budget presented clearly before anything is confirmed.

Question 4

How do I attend Paris Fashion Week?

Accepted Answer

Most shows are invitation-only. Sebienne secures access through a network of showrooms, emerging designers, and off-calendar events, then builds an experience around the seats you want. You do not need industry credentials. Sebienne currently offers access to Women's Paris Fashion Week only, not Men's Fashion Week.

Question 5

What's included in a package?

Accepted Answer

Each package includes a curated fashion experience: show or showroom access, a host or guide, transport between venues where needed, and a detailed itinerary. Some packages add styling sessions, atelier visits, or dining reservations. We tailor the mix to your dates and group.

Question 6

Can I come as an individual?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We host solo travellers, couples, and small groups. Many experiences are designed for one to four guests and include a personal host so you are never left navigating the schedule alone.

Question 7

What are the different options?

Accepted Answer

Three. Show Access secures your seat while you plan the rest of your visit. Half-Day and Full-Day Itineraries are personal selections of fashion activities based on what you prefer or suggestions from Sebienne. They may include a fashion show, but do not have to.

Question 8

When should I book?

Accepted Answer

Six to eight weeks before the season starts is ideal. Last-minute requests are sometimes possible, but early booking gives us the best access to shows and preferred dates.

Question 9

Is access first come, first served?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fashion houses and brands release only a limited number of places each season, so access is offered on a first come, first served basis. The earlier you enquire, the more options remain available.

Question 10

Are flights and hotels included?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not book airfare or accommodation. We focus entirely on the fashion programme — shows, showrooms, hosts, and your itinerary in Paris. You arrange your own flights and hotel, and we plan around your dates.

Question 11

What happens after I enquire?

Accepted Answer

We reply within two business days to confirm availability, ask a few questions about your group and goals, and send a proposed itinerary. Nothing is confirmed until you approve it.

Question 12

Can I choose which shows I attend?

Accepted Answer

We always ask for your preferences, but the final schedule depends on what each house confirms. We work with established and emerging designers across ready-to-wear and couture calendars.

Question 13

Do you arrange experiences outside of Paris Fashion Week?

Accepted Answer

Yes, subject to availability. Outside the official calendar the focus is on our fashion experiences: private showroom visits, styling sessions, atelier encounters and personal shopping itineraries, arranged around your dates in Paris.

Question 14

There are long queues outside the big fashion boutiques in Paris. Can you help us skip them?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes, subject to the boutique's availability. Where the relationship allows, a private client appointment or personal shopper is arranged at houses on Avenue Montaigne, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Place Vendôme, so guests are received by name instead of waiting in line. This can be included in a Half-Day or Full-Day Itinerary.

Question 15

What is the difference between a runway show and a showroom visit?

Accepted Answer

A runway show is a short, invitation-led presentation of a new collection in front of an audience. A showroom visit is unhurried and close-up: garments and accessories can be seen in detail, and questions asked, with the people who present the collection. Showroom visits can be arranged during and outside Fashion Week.

Question 16

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Dress as you would for an elegant evening in Paris: considered, comfortable, and comfortable to walk in. There is no dress code to meet, but the room is photographed constantly, so guests usually prefer something they feel confident in.
