Spanning fashion and interior design, Vincent Darré makes his homes laboratories of his
bizarre creativity, flirting with surrealism and English eccentricity in a way that channels Jean
Cocteau and Cecil Beaton.
Vincent Darré is a character apart in the world of decoration. First of all, by his origins: he
comes from fashion, where he worked successively at Yves Saint Laurent, Montana, Prada
and Chloé, then as Karl Lagerfeld’s right-hand man at Fendi, and artistic director of
Moschino and Ungaro. He abandoned this career in 2008 to create furnishings and
decorative objects. In a delightful mise-en-scène in Rue du Mont-Thabor in Paris, he began
with a collection called Ossobuco consisting of chairs with backrests in the form of vertebrae
and tables with femurs for legs.
In 2016, he turned a fresh page with the new Maison Darré at 13 Rue Royale, a tribute to the living heritage of the decorative arts. An art of living that Vincent takes very personally and theatrically, referencing an invented past. 13 Rue Royale opened its doors with the new
Renaissance collection, created in collaboration with the great artisans of France. In 2018,
he worked on the décor of the Serpent à Plume, a hybrid space bringing together a coffee
shop, concept store and night bar spread over two levels at 24 Place des Vosges. He was
also commissioned to stage the sale of Ritz furniture at Artcurial, where he transformed the
Hôtel Marcel Dassault into a dream Ritz. For Life in Vogue, he reinterpreted the Director room.
