About CASTING ARCHIVES PARIS
“ This vintage store, highly appreciated by discerning Parisians, has evolved after a period in wholesale and now operates by appointment only, as a showroom. It offers pieces from the Martin Margiela era at Hermès, as well as creations by Yves Saint Laurent, Azzedine Alaïa, Yohji Yamamoto, and Anne-Marie Beretta, who made a significant mark on fashion in the 1980s. The selection is particularly refined. ” — Madame Figaro Japon, issue 599, March 2026.
