Featured in The Best Fashion Stores in the World

Words, Sounds, Colors and Shapes is the singular Marais “context store” created by Ramdane Touhami, the artist and entrepreneur behind the revival of Buly 1803, where products are chosen based on how they go together rather than what they are. Across two gallery-like floors, the store gathers his many worlds under one roof: fashion-forward mountain apparel, a rotating gallery, a café, books and a typography archive — alongside a global edit of objects he simply admires. It matters as proof that a store can be a personal manifesto, curated by meaning and an idiosyncratic taste. Eccentric, beautiful and unmistakably one man's vision, it is a store unlike any other in Paris.
