Internationally renowned high fashion house Hermès has always taken a unique approach to marketing. From creatively upcycling its leftover materials (you may remember our feature on “Petit H” back in the Jan/Feb 21 issue) to doling out invitations to fun activations – like its interactive Hermèsmatic pop-up concept shops that allowed customers to refresh their old Hermès scarves using a cool dip-dye technique – it is an exciting brand to keep your eye on.

The latest event from the luxury fashion hard hitter is a bit… more active. From December 1st to the 5th, 2021, Hermès will transform a portion of the Beaux Arts de Paris into a gymnasium. The activation will be a much-anticipated complement to the Hermès Fit campaign, which was released earlier this year and championed accessories and movement. This go-around will spotlight home accessories, as styled in and around sports practices.
The pop-up will comprise several areas of sport that visitors can partake in: yoga, boxing, weight lifting, stretching, climbing, gymnastics and more, all surrounded by interiors outfitted in signature Hermès colors and iconic motifs.
There will also be professional coaches, acrobatic performances, concerts and a juice bar. Look out – it’s in Paris now, but Hermès is bringing their stylish “gym” to several major cities across the world.
