AUTUMN WINTER
letter from the creative director
Salut!
This week, follow us to Avenue de l’Opéra, a place where towering Haussmann buildings stretch out to meet the grand figure of l’Opéra Garnier. Inspired by the iconic street, it’s namesake collection is edgy, sophisticated, and, comme toujours, crafted in luxury fabrics for first-class comfort. Animal prints and vegan leather bring a chic confidence that is grounded by sophisticated silhouettes and neutral shades. Each piece is designed to move from day to night so that you can go through your day feeling as bold and confident as you would on Avenue de l'Opéra.
Bisous,
Adieu minimalism, salut maximalism
"A great dress can make you remember what is beautiful about life." ~ Rachel Roy
Embrace your inner Catherine Deneuve with head-to-toe leopard print. This absolutely evergreen print has its moment every season. Mais bien sûr, it’s fun, flirty,and classic. Our feminine take is crafted in viscose georgette for an elegant sheer effect that looks even more glamorous in the full, maxi-length skirt.
Edgy elegance
Play with fabric and textures to add originality to your outfit.
A chic way to elevate your outfit is by adding a touch of leather; it’s both subtle and eye-catching while allowing you to maintain a monochromatic look. We chose an incredibly soft vegan leather for this skirt with a figure-flattering deep basque and an A-line shape and midi-cut that is comfortable yet sophisticated. Wear it with this collection’s Twist Neck Flounce Top in 100% viscose for adressy look. C’est parfait pourle jour et la nuit. Style with bold earrings and a scarf for added interest.
Every wardrobe needs a little fantasy and glamour.
Animal prints and faux fur coats go together like butter and baguettes. Inspired by the opulence of Palais Garnier, this line’s Printed Silk Blouse is crafted in 100% silk with blouson sleeves. Ground these bold pieces with neutral tones for a look that’s daring yet harmonious. We paired them with our new Pocket Detail Wide Leg Pant in a rich ‘bark’ hue.
