Aiming to ask its audience, “what is French style?” the showcase returned to its signature venue, Musee d’Orsay, for a collection comprising 44 looks. Beginning with a relatively muted color palette, the show began with a selection of pleated and belted blazers, layered over floral dresses, alongside sculptural shapes and off-the-shoulder silhouettes.
Continuing the House’s use of classic tweeds and wools, the collection offered a contemporary take on traditional fabrics, using it to create slashed-knee trousers and oversized outerwear silhouettes. The color palette continued to evolve, interspersed with elements of vibrant red and subtle purple alongside accents of burgundy and yellow. Adding to this season’s line-up of accessories was a series of glow-in-the-dark glasses, illuminating otherwise minimal looks. Elsewhere, leather motocross gloves complemented sleek suits and bulbous jackets.
Essentially, the collection looked to traditional French dressing for its inspiration and then manipulated it, resulting in a runway of expertly-tailored, classic silhouettes, revived with contemporary accessories and proportions.
