SYSTEM’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection is presented alongside “Point suspendu” by Korean artist Hong Young-hee in the window display of Galeries Lafayette Haussmann in Paris, from August 26 to September 21, 2026.

Taking Maison Lafayette’s concept “Le salon de lecture” as its starting point, the project creates an imaginary library under the theme “Le salon de lecture: 3:00 PM, a literary pause.” Books stripped of their texts and colors, suspended objects and garments, and empty seats compose a space where Hong Young-hee’s work and SYSTEM’s Fall/Winter collection meet, each retaining its own materiality and language.

3:00 PM. The city continues to move, while time inside the window comes to a halt. The books remain silent, and the objects relinquish their functions. The garments, their materiality intact, heighten the density of the space. The gaze lingers between them. At this point of tension, “Le salon de lecture: 3:00 PM, a literary pause” begins.
