 Alternatively chic and more wild
A woman-child with a retro look set in a Twin-Peaks universe. She looks like Mom and he looks like Granddad. A playful, girly mood juggling vintage patterns and faded 60's and 70's Americans colors creates a mundane atmosphere with a twisted angel.
Colors
A cheerful, yet slightly faded range evoking 70's colors, which seem to have been softened in the washing machine. Muffled tones: pale blue, faded beige, soft khaki. A range completed by more intense hues of yellow or violet with stronger accents of red or sky blue.
Silhouettes
A blend of retro elegance à la Jackie O reworked more romantically with fitted, high-waisted, slim-bust jackets and tops with jewel-like embroidery worn with mid-knee length, slim pencil skirts or Capri pants ... and the campus inspiration of worn denim mini blousons and high school tops paired with tulle tutus.
Men
70's style, composed of bell bottoms trousers, floral shirts and fitted jackets. A rock vintage spirit with military jackets and boot-cut jeans. Retro campus style with a polyamide blouson worn with a baseball T-shirt and bleached snow-colored jeans.
Fabrics
They cultivate a vintage mood with cottons and wool being worked to seem used, faded, softer and suppler. In a 70's, sporty mood, a range of relaxed fabrics: supple denims, thick canvases, casual fleece, washed out, checked yarn-dyes. A more sophisticated, Halston style of chiffons, crepes and satins for a femme fatale look. |
 An homage to nature
Modern ceremonies, half-pagan, half-religious, which evoke the goddesses and vestal virgins of Antiquity, pre-Raphaelite paintings and symbolism. A romantic, spiritual, poetic appeal.
Colors
A soft, serene palette with kaolin accents. Chalky, light, faded, powder and talcum colors are accompanied by more intense shades of taupe beige and mauve. A range of dynamic, springtime pastels is added to this base: pink, greenish yellow, orange, vibrant green.
Silhouette
It is stretched in length to emphasize vertical structure for skirts, dresses, tunics or fluid, vapory pants. The antique toga inspires one-piece garments like cover-up or T-shirt dresses and jumpsuits, but also details such as random drapings, drawstring shapes, twisted effects, knots or braids. The accent is on elegant ease: pants adopt the suppleness of pyjamas while fluid jerseys soften a tailoring mood.
Men
A nonchalant look, minimal, elegant and sober treated in a supple, almost homewear style: limp volumes, large comfortable shapes, naturally crinkled aspects, rolled hems & finishes.
Fabrics
They are light and fluid: crepe, crepon, voile, gauze or fine tulle are worked alone or in layers for a young, romantic mood. In a natural atmosphere, we see refined, rustic effects: muslins or silk shantung worked in light weaves. In complement, vegetation or natural motifs are sometimes blurry or undefined. |

 Back to the future
A new beginning showing optimism and progress. Technology becomes playful in a sweet way. A new positive high-tech is restarting with references to the naivity of the 50ies.
Colors
Fresh, acidic tints that evoke chemical elixirs and experimental emulsions. The flashy, slightly pop colors of vitamin-charged smoothies: green, pink, turquoise, yellow and acidic orange. They are accompanied by a second range of more faded and somewhat veiled, grayed tints.
Silhouettes
A blend of functional, resolutely modern strictness in 60's structured shapes. We see clean appeal, sharp-cut lab coats or absolutely simple basics reworked in luxurious, technical fabrics. References to medical bandages and an 80's sporty mood in fitted pieces are also forthcoming.
Men
A very clean style in fresh colors, this simplicity enables the experimentation with new associations and new manners of wearing garments.
Fabrics
taffeta, coated canvas, cotton, jacquard and thick linen. Textured surfaces with miniature motifs in clean, precise graphics. Elsewhere, a futurist mood is illustrated by synthetic, compact, girdling fabrics with technical finishes. Transparent harmonies and layerings are more refined. |
 We head to South America
A creative melting pot in a mix of influences and civilizations. From this universe, we rediscover both the appealing glamor of seductive movie actresses like Maria Felix and the humble elegance of traditional folklore outfits.
Colors
Vibrant, joyous party tints in slashes of color. Blazing red and deep violet blend with more neutral shades evoking dry, South American landscapes: ochres, clays, beiges, cactus greens.
Silhouettes
They take into account Latin America's diversity. A military uniform mood reworked with a city attitude. Big, rustic shapes inspired by Indians and ornaments, which take their cue from Aztec motifs. But also: defined waists, the tapered, chic lines of gauchos, 50's seductive women and tango artists.
Men
The silhouette is inspired by retro-Hispanic elegance, black-trimmed jacket and floral shirt. The preppy look in a bad boy version from the Latino districts - full of fantasy. The "resort" style nylon jacket is sportier and more modern calling on the comeback of boat shoes.
Fabrics
A folklore inspiration: rough looks, rustic weaves, fresh cottons resembling household linens. On a more refined note: laces and macrames. A more precious inspiration with fabrics decorated by opulent ornaments, embroideries and appliqués. |
