Le Défile is considered a fashion and beauty collaboration. The first ever show in 2017 closed traffic at the Champs Elysées.

This year’s runway show celebrates the anniversary of L’Oréal Paris’s slogan “Because You’re Worth It.” The theme is taking a larger focus on women’s empowerment, especially after last year when the brand launched its international Stand Up Against Street Harassment program to train one million women and men in bystander intervention.

Since 2017, L’Oréal Paris has held a every fall for Paris Fashion Week, with COVID-19 putting a damper on their plans for last year. In the past, brands that have participated ranged from established luxury houses like Balmain to younger brands like Marine Serre.
