COLLECTION UN CAFÉ AU LAIT, S’IL VOUS PLAÎT...

Inspiration

 … A warm summer day …  the wind between the leaves, to drink a café au lait dans le Restaurant l´Avenue, silence mixed with the muffled noise of the coffee cups, the coffee bitterness, the smoke of a cigarette after other; aller d´acheter by the Avenue Montaigne, to enjoy Ladurée's macaron, to enjoy the atmosphere of a summer afternoon walking by the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, to have a supper under the lights of the Eiffel Tower at Maxim's restaurant of Pierre Cardin, a walk by the bohemian  ‘Montmartre’, discovering its painters.

Structure

Elaborated volumes that do not forget the “T Line” also evolve in the lower part of the garments. Short dresses with round, low necklines that evolve asymmetrically to reveal the shoulders. Draped designs with direction changes. Tailor dresses that evolve along trunks. Pleat trousers with cigarette style endings. Jupsuits, jumpsuits-mini. Architectural patterns in coats, jackets, dresses... Uneven pleats to create impossible volumes. Capes, short jackets, trench coats, extralarge lapels. Cloth that overlaps and creates volumes.

The night follows the game of draped textiles with distinguished and asymmetric directions, cuts that continue with the collection asymmetry. Spectacular volumes in long and short dresses without forgetting the Parisian sophistication.

Colour

With the predominant grey as main color in the whole collection, the black appears as its opossite. The blue and the purple exchange tonalities creating cold and hot tones. At night pearl grey interlaces with black and the abstract printing, opening the way for the blue and murrey fusion.

Textiles

Double faced cloth in cotton, cold wool, plumetti, “piqués”, checkered designs and stripes in different versions.

The night wears satin silk.
