This September, as wind bells ring beneath the layered eaves, Songmont returns to Paris for the third year with Song of Mont. Inspired by the pagodas of Shanxi, a wooden frame and translucent paper bring this familiar architectural form to life, floating above the exhibition space.
Beneath the pagoda, six signature collections gather: Gather, Yore, Song, Luna, Shan, and Drippy Roof. Wooden travel trunks surround the structure, presenting stories and crafts gathered along the way. Upstairs, photographs of the Central Plains lead to a curved pavilion inspired by the Tambacmont perfume vessel, extending the experience from sound, sight, and touch to scent.
This year, Songmont's exploration of craftsmanship reaches deeper into local heritage. From Shanxi's hand-pieced patchwork and tiger-hat embroidery to lattice weaving inspired by the ancient murals of Kizil and the tactile warmth of Tibetan Pǔlǔ, folk crafts are reinterpreted through modern leather artistry, bringing generations of memory and quiet protection to Songmont's designs.
Brand Ambassadors Wenqi and Zhang Jingyi, together with friends of the House Audrey Tautou, Lucas Bravo, Tontawan, Shin Hae-sun, Wang Tianchen and Zhang Kangle, gathered in Paris to celebrate the heritage and culture at the heart of Songmont. Beneath the pagoda, each brought a favorite silhouette, accented by a charm of their choice. Echoing Europe's tradition of the Grand Tour, Song of Mont traces a journey from the Central Plains to the world, and into an innerscape shaped by Eastern culture and experience.
