Since 2016, the Parisian brand Rouje has been highlighting women through a wardrobe designed by Jeanne Damas, which is both feminine and a bit vintage. For this spring, it is the creativity of French and international artists that is celebrated in the stores as part of the collaboration Les Créatrices en Rouje. Presented in Paris, Bordeaux, and New York, this collection of creations, including paintings, ceramics, and sewing, offers an alluring dialogue around the color red.
Les Créatrices en Rouje: spotlight on female artists
Running from April 23 to June 30, the collaboration Les Créatrices en Rouje shines a light on women, creation, and the color red. For the occasion, Jeanne Damas gathered curator Emily Marant, founder of Studio Marant and co-founder of the French Cliché gallery. With a background in art, fashion, and design, her eye has managed to gather pieces that are both original and aligned with the universe of the ready-to-wear brand.
Between tableware and decorative accessories, the collection of creations reveals varied styles and inspirations, all sharing one common point: the color red.
We discover both ceramic pieces, including mugs, egg cups, plates, matchboxes, and butter dishes, all adorned with charming patterns. Additionally, teas are also presented. On the decor side, embroidered placemats, vases with beautiful curves, and other cake boxes coexist with embroidered cushions and other painted canvases that would look great on our walls.
The collection aims to be unique and highly creative. A search can be observed in the interplay of shapes, colors, and materials, making it as playful as it is aesthetic. These pieces are designed by the following French and international creators: Pia Chevalier, Mary Clerté, Conservatoire des Hémisphères, Sarah Espeute, Ghia, Rosemary Home, House of Roro, Janie Korn, Les Confitures Parisiennes, Ines Melia, Laetitia Rouget, Esmé Saccuccimorano, Lucie Sotty, Lise Stoufflet, Karla Sutra, Verre d’Onge.
Featured creators at Rouje Paris
As fans of the Rouje brand, we were eager to discover the highlighted pieces in the Parisian boutique. Thus, we headed to rue Bachaumont, in the 2nd arrondissement, to explore the pieces from the collaboration Les Créatrices en Rouje.
These pieces fit seamlessly among the collections of Jeanne Damas’s brand. Bringing a sophisticated and creative touch, the creations of the 16 artists enhance the boutique’s already elegant ambiance. The pieces are also showcased in the “verrière” space at the back of the boutique, adding a slight “museum” feel to the whole and allowing the pieces to coexist side by side.
The result of the selection of pieces Les Créatrices en Rouje is in perfect harmony with the brand’s DNA and the boutique itself. And it is a beautiful way to introduce or reintroduce us to female artists. Our favorites are the canvases with delicate styles. Additionally, the embroidered cutlery sets and the colorful butter dish caught our eye during our visit!
This visit to the collaboration Les Créatrices en Rouje inspired us to pick up painting and pottery to let our creativity flow! So, if you’re in the area, we highly recommend a little trip to the Rouje boutique, Rue Bachaumont 75002 Paris. (And if you find yourself in Paris or New York, we leave it to you to explore these two other locations for us!)
