In the fading glow of Pigalle’s last surviving pornographic theater, Coucou Bebe 75018 unveiled Botox—its first women’s collection for Spring/Summer 2026. More than fashion, it was a cinematic requiem: a collision of intimacy, satire, and memory staged within a vanishing Parisian underworld.
The first women’s collection for Spring Summer 2026 by Coucou Bebe 75018, Botox, was presented in an immersive setting in Pigalle, the last surviving pornographic theater in France. The screening served as both a reflection and a farewell to the historic location, which has long been connected to film screenings from the 1990s and underrepresented audiences.
The collection was unveiled using a series of brand-new video pieces rather than a conventional runway. These included the participation of Kiki, an OnlyFans influencer, the representation of Zaza, a transvestite who was filmed performing a sexual act in the Bois de Boulogne, and a series of humorously satirical pornographic ads. Every participant gave their complete consent.
“This project was never about shock value,” Coucou Bebe 75018 said. “It was about bringing the audience face-to-face with a disappearing cultural and social landscape immersed in the tension between decay and memory.”
Pigalle’s raw reality, torn between uneasiness, fascination, and the memory of a district that has long represented Parisian prostitution, was the focus of the location and content selection, which was not meant to be provocative. The movie theater itself has a darker history as well; it was formerly a police surveillance station and a hangout for notorious people like serial killer Guy Georges.

Together, they produced a tense atmosphere that merged fashion and reality, making it difficult to distinguish between performance, film, and runway with Lookbook by @relativ999
