Look Inside L’Art de l’Automobile's Retro Toy Shop-Inspired Paris Fashion Week Pop-Up
Serving up VW GTI caps and a Tamiya collaboration.










L’Art de l’Automobile released a capsule collection with Japanese remote control toy experts Tamiya for Paris Fashion Week, and now, we get a closer look inside its limited-time pop-up store.
The pop-up provided a space for three collaborative T-shirts to be sold, with each being packaged in a special box design that referenced Tamiya’s packaging for its RC cars. Inside, L’Art de l’Automobile had also made a display to showcase its signature hats, which are adorned with the imprint’s Volkswagen Golf GTI — something which founder Arthur Kar went into detail about during his HYPEBEAST Radio session.
L’Art de l’Automobile’s Paris pop-up was inspired by a traditional toy shop, detailed with retro-tinged branding on the outside and two real-life display cars — the quintessential GTI and a classic Fiat, which housed part of the collection’s stock. Take a look inside the imprint’s pop-up store in the gallery above, and shop its wider collection online.
