ABOUT

Claire de Rouen opened its doors for the first time in November 2005, above a sex shop in Soho—a place that was, at its core, a love letter to photography, where Claire stocked a thoughtful and very personal selection of unexpected, often experimental gems that were truly rare to find elsewhere. Today, in the year of the shop’s twentieth anniversary, we continue to curate and share, still inspired by Claire’s love for supporting the brilliant, the emerging, and the unseen.

In December 2025, Claire de Rouen will be moving back to Soho, opening a new space, ready to accommodate all manner of beautiful printed matter, screenings, signings, talks, and exhibitions, as well as welcoming old friends and meeting many new ones—all a stone's throw from where everything started. Our move is just the beginning of a whole year of celebration—events, collaborations, and special releases, all dedicated to the people and moments that have made us who we are.

THANK YOU,

Chantal, Dominic & Matilde x
