Your Paris team, for the week you show.
For fashion brands and showrooms, Book & Smile is the local operations partner during Paris Fashion Week: team stays and movement, showroom logistics and suppliers, buyer and press appointments, client dinners and gifting, VIP guests handled individually, and the hundred local problems — permits, deliveries, a broken steamer at 7am — solved in French, every day. Your team shows; we run Paris.
A showroom week in Paris means twenty people, three hotels, a venue with its own rules, buyers arriving on Seoul time and a dinner for forty on Thursday.
Agencies sell the venue and leave; hotels handle rooms, not people; your Paris intern cannot negotiate with a syndic at 22:00.

FAQ
Do you work on a project basis?
Yes. A Fashion Week engagement is scoped in writing — days, team size, deliverables — with a single fee; ongoing Paris support is available on a monthly corporate retainer.
Can you invoice a company outside France?
Yes. We invoice companies in the EU, the UK, the US, Asia and the Gulf; VAT treatment is confirmed in the proposal.
When should I brief you?
Six to eight weeks before the week for houses, hotels and the tables that book out first; two weeks for a reduced programme; we also take last-minute requests during the week itself, every day, 8:00–22:00 Paris time and 24/7 for members.
How discreet are you?
One dedicated contact, NDA on request, your name mentioned only where you want it. We do not photograph, post or name clients.
