Arcane invades Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées
Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées is celebrating Arcane, the animated series inspired by League of Legends, with a total immersion event from October 24 to November 10. Fans and the curious are invited to explore the captivating universe of this award-winning series, through a journey that takes them into the workshop of Jinx, one of Arcane’s main characters.
From the entrance tunnel, decorated and illuminated for the occasion, visitors enter the world of Arcane and head towards a large 8-meter-high propeller. At the Chomper Workshop, they can customize Jinx-inspired gadgets, and even enjoy a photo experience to virtually transform themselves into the blue-haired character. The included store also features a selection of official series merchandise: clothing, accessories, jewelry, figurines and plush toys by Fulllife and Riot Games.
Fans will have the chance to meet Ashnikko, interpreter of Paint the Town Blue from season 2, for a signing session on November 3 from 6 to 8 p.m., offering an opportunity to exchange and share ideas about the Arcane universe.
A cultural phenomenon
Arcane, the vision of creators Christian Linke and Alex Yee, is much more than an adaptation of the League of Legends game. The animated series produced by Fortiche Production became a global phenomenon in its first season in 2021, winning awards including four Primetime Emmy Awards and nine Annie Awards. The French studio Fortiche Production, with teams in Paris, Montpellier and Las Palmas, has imposed a strong visual aesthetic that has left its mark on animation worldwide. Fortiche brings together up to 450 artists to realize ambitious projects, such as Arcane, and has won over both young adult and adult audiences.
Galeries Lafayette Champs-Élysées, opening in 2019, offers a 5,600 m² shopping experience enriched by cultural collaborations and events like this one. Through this initiative, the department store invites League of Legends enthusiasts and art lovers to discover Arcane in a lively and inspiring setting.
