Courrèges expands across Seoul with new Galleria East store
Located on the third floor of the Apgujeong-based shopping precinct, the new Galleria East store riffs on the design codes of the Courrèges historical flagship store on Rue François Premier in Paris, which reopened in September 2020, under the design helm of artistic director, Nicolas Di Felice.
Set to the backdrop of the accessible luxury brand's s iconic color white, laced with mirrored walls and minimalist furniture and display fixtures, local customers will discover Courrèges' men's Fall/Winter 2025 and women's Pre-Collection Fall/Winter 2025 collections, along with the brand's shoes, bags, jewelry, and perfume.
The space puts extra emphasis on the brand's Holy bag, a streamline bag reworked from a house archive and launched in February 2024 by Di Felice, as well as its Holiday bags, according to a press release.
The Galleria East opening comes after three other store launches for Courrèges in Seoul's Gangnam, Busan and Myeong-dong areas, respectively, and forms part of the brand's strategy of opening stores in fashion centers such as the Marais, in Paris, Soho, in New York, and in Asia, including South Korea.
Founded in 1961 by André and Coqueline Courrèges, the Courrèges brand operates a total of 11 stores around the world, including France, the U.S. and South Korea.

France's Capgemini to buy WNS for $3.3bn to improve AI offerings
Tech and consultancy group Capgemini has agreed to buy US-listed WNS Holdings Ltd. for $3.3 billion (€2.8bn), according to a statement released on Monday. The French firm said that it is offering $76.50 per WNS share, representing a premium of 17% on the stock's closing price on Thursday. This does not include WNS' financial debt. Capgemini forecasts that the deal will boost its earnings per share by about 4% on a normalized basis in 2026, rising to 7% in 2027 after combining operations. The French firm plans to generate additional annual revenues of €100 million to €140mn by the end of 2027 through revenue synergies. Cost and operating model synergies are also expected to come to €50mn to €70mn per year, before taxes, by the end of 2027. The acquisition comes as Capgemini seeks to expand its AI operations. 'Capgemini's acquisition of WNS will provide the Group with the scale and vertical sector expertise to capture that rapidly emerging strategic opportunity created by the paradigm shift from traditional BPS (Business Process Services) to Agentic AI-powered Intelligent Operations,' Aiman Ezzat, Chief Executive Officer of Capgemini, said in a statement. 'Immediate cross-selling opportunities will be unlocked through the integration of our complementary offerings and clients,' he added. As of the end of March, WNS had almost 65,000 employees across 64 delivery centres worldwide. The firm has a number of major clients, including Coca-Cola, T-Mobile, and United Airlines. The deal was unanimously approved by the board of the two firms and is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. At just after 10am CEST, Capgemini's share price was down around 3.5% at 140.10 on Monday morning.
