Marseilles


Marseilles, with its storied history as a port city and former capital of French denim, is challenging Paris as the capital of French design. French brands, combined with emergent grassroot designers, are relocatingtheir studios and headquarters away from Paris to the Marseille region to flee expensive taxes, real estate prices, and the compounding effects of Brexitthat have made the French capital unaffordable.
