Neobrutalist architecture and the Bauhaus movement continued to influence the work of creative director Marie-Christine Statz, who launched a collection of structured silhouettes softened with sporty, sheer touches.
Statz said the season was less about a style prescription than about addressing multifaceted lives. Following the idea that no one wants to be buttoned up day after day, he sought to provide tranquility through luxurious textures such as quilted silks for wrap skirts or mohair in dresses and coats.
Elsewhere, she took advantage of the contrast between suiting material and leather (vegan or not) to elevate more casual pieces, like raw-cut jeans or loose-fitting knitwear.
This season, proportions moved closer to the body, sometimes accessorized with belts to amplify the curvy silhouette. Statz, who is not one for plunging necklines, said that “a touch of nudity brings something feminine, formal and at the same time brings lightness,” exposing the legs in turtleneck suits worn with a coat on top or cutting skirts and chiffon fabric blouses.
An element of playfulness came from off-kilter cuts and asymmetrical elements, such as long samples made to fold and removable collars.
There were also a handful of accessories, including a soft tote bag in three sizes and leather socks. “A look is a bit like a painting, what do you add to bring nuances?” she said. “The possibilities are there; It just depends on what the woman wants to explore.”
