Salut!‍

‍Bienvenue en Corsica—our latest collection inspired by the île de beauté. Corsica is where alpine mountains rise up from Mediterranean shores, and no matter where you go, you’re sure to find a view beyond your wildest dreams. In this collection, we invite you to bask in our ideal French Island vacances while indulging in the good life.

Tropical prints and delicate embroidery offer an island feel that embodies relaxed femininity. Luxury fabrics like silk and linen blends add elegance and comfort to this collection's blue hues and vibrant fuchsia pops. This range is designed to make summer style easy with beautiful pieces that offer timeless French-Mediterranean appeal.

Bisous,

An Island Escape

Evoke island elegance in a silk kaftan.

A kaftan in summer offers a cooling, relaxed fit with seasonal charme. An elevated beach-day classic, this lightweight top comes in silk crepe de Chine with hand-beaded embellishment on top of our joyeux Corsica Floral print. Paired with white pants or shorts, the beaded design will especially pop.

La Robe d’Été

Every woman needs a cotton summer dress.

This collection’s take on the classic summer staple showcases our Corsica Floral print, a joyfully abstract tropical design with sharp Mediterranean blues and bright citrus greens. Feminine, flirty, and très facile, pair this lightweight dress with sandals or an espadrille for belle summer style.

A Fuchsia Sunset

Designed to evoke le glamour de summer.

Capture the mystique of Corsica in summer. The sensational linen silk blend drapes elegantly and offers a dazzling shimmer under sunlight. Styled simplistically with accessories and a sandal, the ruffle details and trendy high-low hem make this dress a fun, glamorous seasonal go-to.

Romantic Summer

Vibrant fuchsia and luxe fabrics reimagine the timeless blouse.

Nothing says romance like silk and pink. Crafted in a breathable linen silk blend, this blouse is a statement piece parfait for work, brunch, a special occasion, or any moment you want to add a touch of romance to your day. Style the Shirred Swing Top up or down with a pencil skirt, denim, or the Corsica collection’s Seersucker Stripe Capri Pant.

Élégance Brodée

Embroidered clothing has made a resurgence just in time for summer.

A white linen embroidered shirt is essential to the French-Mediterranean wardrobe. We added a Blue Illusion spin with a soft cotton linen blend and cord and border embroidery in a soft blue. For a laid-back curated look, pair this kaftan with our 7/8^th length pant in a stylish wide-leg silhouette and Indigo Blue.

Moonlit Rendez-Vous

The Tie-Waist Jumpsuit returns in moody Ink.

There’s a reason jumpsuits are enduring style. They are sans effort, chic, flattering and très confortable. Our Corsica collection Tie Waist Stretch Jumpsuit has arrived in an evening Ink colour that pairs gorgeously with a red lip and simple hoop or our Flower Pear Drop Earrings. Dress your look up or down with sandals or a heel.

La Beauté de L'île

A beautiful dress is transformative.

Introducing the tour de force of our Corsica collection—this Border Print Cotton Dress embodies southern French mystique with a fit-and-flare shape, half-puff sleeves, and our dreamy Blue Chintz print. Add our Camille Metallic Espadrille for an elegant finishing touch to this feminine look.

*This style will be available from Monday 27/11.

The Parisienne Getaway

A summer spin on French classics.

You can never go wrong with stripes. The Henley Stripe T-shirt and Indigo Blue Wide Leg Pants offer casual-chic French style to any summer day. The V-neck and charming blue and white add a modern update with a retro beach-day feel to this T-shirt, while the wide-leg silhouette is stylish and cooling.

Our Favori French Things

A Parisienne Summer

Summer Like a True Parisienne

Beat the summer heat like a true Parisian by opting for pieces that are chic and breathable:

1. Tee-shirt classique: You can never go wrong with a well-made T-shirt tucked into a pair of wide-leg pants, jeans, or Bermuda shorts. The simpler, the chic-er. Our Silk Blend Knit Top has you covered.

2. Chemisière blanc: Protect your skin and stay cool in sophisticated French style in a white blouse with puffed sleeves. To make it easy for you, we designed this collection’s Cord Embroidered Kaftan.

3. Robe d'été: A bohemian-chic summer dress is an easy and versatile way to enjoy the summer weather in Parisienne style. Pair our Pleat Front Midi Dress with sandals or an espadrille et voilà.

4. Chapeau de soleil: The definition of glamour is a big straw hat in summer. For an on-trend twist to the timeless look, try our Chloe Cloche Hat that will turn even the simplest of looks into a signature style.

The Mystique of a French Woman’s Beauty Routine

Minimalist makeup is one way that French women stay looking fresh even in the heat of summer. The trick? Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. Skincare is the star of the Parisienne’s makeup routine. A fine water mist, followed by a rich serum, topped off with a thin moisturiser, will seal the moisture into your skin for a fresh, dewy look. A light SPF concealer can add a thin layer of coverage and apply a natural-looking rouge and your choice of colour for the lips.

Now that you’ve sorted your look, it’s time for vacances!

Is it the flood of tourists, or the romance of the beach that encourages Parisians to take a respite from the city over the summer holiday? Whatever the reason, one popular destination is the theme of our latest collection—the sun-kissed island of Corsica. About 105 miles off France’s southern coast, Corsica is where alpine mountains rise up from Mediterranean shores, and no matter where you go, you’re sure to find a view beyond your wildest dreams.

If you don’t have time to fly to the Island off the coast of France, we recommend bathing in the shimmering blue-green seas or climbing the tropical mountains of Cairns, the setting of our latest campaign.
