# Nostalgic Luxury Pop-Ups Celine's Zhangyuan Pop-Up Brings French Riviera Magic to Shanghai By Georgia Wray Norsten | Published 2025-04-11 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celines-zhangyuan-popup References: [wwd](https://wwd.com/business-news/retail/celine-shanghai-zhangyuan-pop-up-liu-shishi-1237079400/)  [Celine's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celine-store-2) Zhangyuan pop-up is transforming Shanghai into a sun-drenched escape inspired by the charm of the French Riviera. Through May 11, the [immersive five-week installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-pop-up) occupies a beautifully restored historic building in Zhangyuan and radiates Saint-Tropez spirit -- right down to the Triomphe-adorned fountain and Mediterranean garden. This pop-up offers a multi-sensory escape: think [lavender honey ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-cafe), breezy alfresco lounges with Provence-inspired snacks, and a screening room playing iconic 1960s Riviera films. Upstairs, themed rooms -- Dream, Travel, Feel, and Breeze -- guide guests through the Celine summer collection, which includes raffia totes, triangle-shaped bags with pétanque balls, and lifestyle pieces echoing warm-weather sophistication. With global ambassador Liu Shishi and other celebrities making appearances, this pop-up is a cultural moment. Celine proves once again that fashion is an experience.
