Bureau Betak is a production agency dedicated to the luxury, fashion, beauty, and art industries, founded in 1990 by the French designer and producer Alexandre de Betak. The company designs and produces fashion shows, events, and exhibitions worldwide and is regarded as one of the most influential forces in runway show production, having shaped the modern fashion show format over three decades.
Bureau Betak produces over 100 fashion shows, exhibitions, and events around the world each year and has completed more than 900 productions for brands including Christian Dior, Michael Kors, Viktor & Rolf, John Galliano, Isabel Marant, Rodarte, Jason Wu, Anthony Vaccarello, Helmut Lang, Diane von Furstenberg, Victoria's Secret, and The Row. Its teams of designers, producers, and technical artists handle creative direction, set design, lighting, and technical production for runway shows, brand events, and cultural exhibitions.
The agency operates from offices in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and Shanghai, and in 2020 became the first production agency awarded ISO 20121 certification for sustainable event management, formalizing environmental commitments across its international productions under its Better Betak program.
Since 2021 Bureau Betak has been part of The Independents, the global marketing group for luxury and lifestyle brands that also owns Karla Otto, with founder Alexandre de Betak serving as creative chairman at the group level.
