244 NIGHTS – WHEN PARIS MEETS NEW YORK

In October 2025, CHAPAL gathered a select circle of guests
at Jean-François Bardinon showroom in Paris, for a new edition of its 244 Nights.

Set under the theme “When Paris Meets New York”, the evening explored the meeting of two worlds dear to the House:
French craftsmanship and New York creativity.
A natural dialogue, reflecting CHAPAL’s history between France and United States.

Guests from both Paris and New York came together in an atmosphere that was both elegant and vibrant.

Jean-François Bardinon opened the evening by evoking the House’s heritage and its ties to the United States,
followed by Terrance Cook, representative in New York, who shared his personal story and his commitment
to a vision of luxury and craftsmanship that remains rare across the Atlantic.

The evening continued with a live jazz and bossa nova performance by Audrey Appleby, accompanied by pianist Ludovic de Preissac,
a poetic and refined moment punctuated by songs performed in French, echoing the dialogue between the two cultures.

Meanwhile, silhouettes moved through the guests, presenting the House’s collection.
Four looks inspired by emblematic New York neighborhoods – Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx –
each expressing a distinct facet of the city, echoing the many ways CHAPAL pieces can be worn.

Guests were also invited to discover the creative process behind these looks
through Terrance Cook’s sketches and moodboards, before extending the experience with private fittings.

The evening unfolded as a true dialogue between Paris and New York,
blending conversations, music and silhouettes in an atmosphere that was both intimate and vibrant.
