Every Show, to the Minute
Chauffeur-driven transport for Paris Fashion Week: designers, editors, buyers and house guests carried between the shows across the city, run to the minute and with the discretion the front row expects.
The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
A Paris Fashion Week chauffeur service is private, chauffeur-driven transport for the shows and appointments of the season, held across the city in the venues of the maisons, the Palais de Tokyo, the Carreau du Temple and the salons of the great houses. It carries designers, editors, buyers, house guests and talent between show after show, timed to a calendar that runs to the minute, with showroom appointments in between and the discretion the front row expects. Fashion week is many venues, tight slots and a diary that shifts through the day, so the value is in the timing and the knowledge: a car between each show, a chauffeur who knows the venues and the traffic, and one contact holding a schedule that changes as the day does. The result is a season worked in full, with every show reached on time.

Who we serve
For Those Who Run the Season to the Minute
Fashion week is a calendar of show after show across the city, showroom appointments in between, and a front row whose arrival is watched. We carry designers to their own show on time, editors between the collections, and house guests through the day, arranged directly with a maison or through the people who run the fashion presence. We work most closely with four profiles.
Fashion Houses & Production
A ground partner for a maison through the week: cars for the design team, talent and house guests, transfers between the show, the fittings and the dinners, and confidentiality held as a matter of course, so the house runs its season without a thought for the cars.
Editors, Press & Buyers
A car between show after show and the showroom appointments in between, timed to a calendar that runs to the minute, so the collections are covered without a taxi between each slot.
Talent & House Guests
Discreet, precise transport for talent and the guests of a house, with an arrival to the minute, quiet coordination with security and publicists, and confidentiality across the week.
Five-Star Hotels & Concierges
A brand-aligned partner for guests in town for the shows, with cars timed to the calendar, chauffeurs who present as the hotel would wish, and late transport for the parties, so the concierge offers the week as part of the stay.
From the first show to the last party, every journey of fashion week is below, timed to the calendar and coordinated from one contact. Fashion week is the season's peak, and the same team looks after the rest of the year. For a car at your disposal see our chauffeur by the hour, and for the wider programme our events chauffeur service.
A Car Between the Shows
A chauffeur and car between show after show across the city, timed to the calendar, so a diary of collections is kept without a taxi between each slot.
Showroom & Appointment Transfers
Transfers between the shows and the showroom appointments in between, so a buyer or an editor works the season without a gap.
Discreet Talent Transport
Quiet transfers for designers, talent and house guests, with an arrival to the minute, confidentiality throughout, and coordination with security and publicists.
Airport & Station Arrivals
International guests met at Charles de Gaulle, Orly, Le Bourget and the Paris stations and brought to their hotels, with a chauffeur who waits for a delayed flight.
Late Dinners & After-Parties
Late transport held for the dinners and the parties, however late they run, so the night ends with a waiting car rather than a search.
Chauffeur by the Day
A car and chauffeur at your disposal across the week, for the shows, the fittings and the evenings, without rebooking each leg.
The DBS Difference
What Fashion Week Asks For
The show is the easy part. The challenge is many venues, tight slots, and a diary that shifts through the day. We plan a car between each show, know the venues and the traffic, and hold the schedule from one contact, so the season is worked in full and every show is reached on time.
Between Every Show
A car between show after show, planned around a calendar that runs to the minute, so a diary of collections is kept without waiting for a taxi.
Venue Knowledge
Chauffeurs who know the fashion-week venues, the drop-off points and the traffic across the city, so an arrival lands close and on time.
Discretion for the Front Row
Confidentiality as a matter of course, NDAs on request, and quiet coordination with security and publicists for a watched arrival.
A Diary That Shifts
One contact holding a schedule that changes through the day, adjusting live as shows move and appointments run over.

In practice
How DBS EXPERIENCE Works in Real Life
A House Through the Week
A maison needs cars for its design team, talent and house guests across fashion week. We keep vehicles timed to the show and the fittings, move guests discreetly, and hold the schedule from one contact, so the house runs its season without a thought for the transport.
An Editor's Show Calendar
An editor has a diary of shows across the city with showroom appointments in between. We keep a car between each slot, timed to the calendar, and adjust live as shows move, so the collections are covered without a taxi between each.
A Guest for the Shows
A house guest flies in for the collections. We meet the arrival at Charles de Gaulle, place a chauffeur across the days, run the transfers to the shows and the dinners, and hold late returns, so the guest moves through the week to the minute and at ease.

À chaque arrivée de nos dirigeants à Paris, le chauffeur est déjà là quand ils passent la douane. Les vols bougent, la prise en charge ne bouge jamais. Cela retire la seule variable que nous ne maîtrisons pas.
