SPRING SUMMER 2022 WOMENSWEAR COLLECTIONS
A source of abundance, a summer playground and an endlessly shifting visual landscape, the water provides a prism through which the codes of Parisian femininity ripple and reflect. The collection features rockpool and reef shades of sand and kelp green, turquoise, oyster grey and chartreuse radiate a tropical glow against the glare of optic white and black.
An exercise of evocation and transformation, the collection combines technical elements with fluid textures. The silhouettes reveal soft, floating fabrications and skin in equal measure. Keyhole tailoring in terry cloth unveils colour fields of bright satin or halter bandeau tops in slinky Milano knit, and a peak lapel jacket is deconstructed as a gilet, bustier or flowing chiffon paréo dress.
Anemone polka dots and sea flora create solarized graphic moments in crèpe column skirts layered with fishnet knits, and form-fitting Lycra bodies zip into scuba hoods. Referencing surfer’s wetsuits and boardshorts, gabardine culottes flare with cut-out hip details, trousers are split with bonded ankle zips and modular drawstring skirts bubble in soft paperbag volumes above the knee. In a playful wink to the world of watersports, accessories mirror the collection’s textures and tones, from terry towel or 3D printed mesh mules with glossy cylinder ‘snorkel’ heels to rubber ‘flipper’ bags and molded rock shoes. for silhouettes that reveal soft, floating fabrications and skin in equal measure.
