After a focus on Brooklyn and on Italy, Le Bon Marché is planning a storewide exhibition this fall devoted to Los Angeles. The Paris department store will welcome some 200 brands across fashion, cosmetics, food, accessories and homewear, with special guests including skater Scott Oster, who has designed a mirrored full pipe structure, to be suspended above the beauty department, that will host demos by professional skateboarders. Experiences also include Le Bon Marché's first-ever yoga studio, as well as West Coast tattoo artist Dr. Woo who's bringing his studio to Paris for two weeks in addition to designing a capsule clothing collection for the store, alongside a shoe collaboration with Converse and a mini-collection with MadeWorn.

The exhibition is divided into dedicated spaces reflecting the sun's trajectory through the California sky, three times of day. Sunrise is a focus on well-being, spirituality, self-awareness, all this through natural beauty products and yoga leisure; sunlight: is a celebration of LA lifestyle and outdoor activities culture through casualwear, sportswear, beachwear and ready-to-wear; and sunset is a combination of Hollywood glamour and rock 'n' roll with denim and sunglasses. The event is running from 1 September to 21 October
