Valette Studio presents its Spring Summer 2027 collection, Dandys Dada, with support from the Ministère de la Culture at the Quadrilatère des archives. Across 24 looks, the season marks a new stage for the house and expands the role of the atelier. The studio looks beyond the atelier as a place of production and treats it as an active source of development, technique and creative direction.
SPRING SUMMER 2027
The collection grows through new savoir faire. Valette Studio builds the season from tailoring, then opens that structure to flou and grand flou. This shift gives the collection two distinct forces. Tailoring provides line, construction and discipline. Flou brings softness, lightness and movement.
Valette Studio cuts wool twills, cotton poplins and recycled leather on the straight grain to define the architecture of each garment. Jackets and trousers carry a clear sense of structure, with lines that draw from constructivist ideas. The house gives each piece a sharper technical presence through recurring zips, horsehair chest pieces, leather covered shoulder pads and fully canvassed jackets.
The studio also increases the complexity of construction. Each garment gains more detail and more possibilities for wear. Zips change the way pieces open, close and shift on the body. Shoulder treatments alter the frame. Internal structure gives jackets form from within.
Flou and grand flou enter the collection through new profiles inside the atelier. Their presence brings another sensibility into the work. Silk mousseline and viscose jersey appear on the bias, giving the season lightness, transparency and sensuality. These fabrics move differently from the tailored pieces. They soften the strictness of the construction and introduce a more immediate relationship with the body.
The collection draws inspiration from Constructivism, which informs the cut of jackets and trousers, the order of lines and the graphic strength of the silhouettes. Dada brings disruption into that system. It appears through shifted volumes, deformed shapes, visual collage effects, repeating zips and playful proportions.
Black, white, off white and beige give the collection a rigorous base and support the tailored construction. Intense violet and earthen orange interrupt that order with more force. Two exclusive prints add another layer to the season: a zebra motif and a spotted motif.
Dandys Dada turns the atelier into a site of experimentation. Valette Studio uses tailoring, flou, grand flou and artistic references to test how a garment can hold structure and movement at once. Some of the work appears on the surface through zips, prints and altered volume. Other details remain hidden inside the garment, where horsehair, canvas and construction shape the final form.
