Salon Archive is a specialty archive store dedicated to the retrospective works of Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, and John Galliano.

Salon Archive hails its name from Vivienne Westwood’s Spring/ Summer 1992 collection, Salon, a collection that reflected upon the importance of Enlightenment-era salons of France. Salons were social hubs for intellectuals, artists and poets alike, designated spaces to engage in meaningful debates and cultural exchange. Historically they played an integral role in progressing artistic development throughout Europe. In this spirit, Salon Archive seeks to reinstitute the essence of the salon. Our platform serves both as a curated retail space and a historical resource, fostering discovery, dialogue, and deeper engagement with each designer’s catalogue.

Salon Archive boasts a lifetime of expertise in sourcing/ authenticating rare archival pieces. Each item is meticulously researched and verified using original runway documentation, vintage look-books and other lost media.
