Our Story

OUR STORY

The Very Beginning

Founded by Alex and Claire, Splash Paris emerged from their successful Claret Showroom, established in 2006 to support brands in European, Middle Eastern, and American wholesale distribution. Recognising a gap in the market, they envisioned a premium luxury trade show exclusively dedicated to resortwear and swimwear in Paris, the fashion capital. With meticulous curation, Splash Paris quickly gained recognition as a favourite among esteemed retailers.

Now an essential event during Paris Fashion Week, it presents a relaxed, luxurious, and professional environment in an extraordinary location. Responding to demand, a second event launched in early October, catering to the Spring/Summer market.

OUR FOUNDERS

ALEX & CLAIRE

Alex previously worked in Fashion PR, and Claire in Womenswear Wholesale when they spotted an opportunity to help fashion brands without UK stockists break into the market.

Being friends first and business partners second, they have been able to lean on each other and handle the ups and downs together; sweating, breathing, panicking, laughing, reassuring, and hoping as a unit: "We are always there for each other and our team. Listening is the key to success and overcoming adversities" says Alex.
