Empire State Of Fauve, the collection is online!

The new Empire State Of Fauve collection is based on the same wardrobe, the same universe, while giving everyone the freedom to choose their style. When I designed these clothes, I thought of them for several women but also to follow the same woman from morning to night. The Manhattan blazer , the Brooklyn pants , these 2 clothes do not tell the same story worn together or separately. Choosing a white tencel or a printed viscose for the Skyline shirt will radically change its style.

The work of cutting

The Maison fauve identity is affirmed in the cutting details: pleats that draw vertical and diagonal vanishing lines... No, no, I haven't given up on pleats yet ;)

The look remains very structured: the Manhattan blazer is shouldered and has an arrow collar that gives it character. The Brooklyn pants have an impeccable cut and a play of pleats and darts in front and back that defines the line. The Skyline shirt is very constructed, its pleats are not superfluous, they energize the look. The Chelsea blouse with its raglan sleeves gains in comfort, but its soft line is broken by its pleats. And the beautiful Soho revisits the eternal wrap dress with a work of cinching and belting that is not expected and its cuffs with accentuated cutouts.

The style inspirations and the universe of the collection

This wardrobe leaves the field open to all desires and couture inspiration.

There is the cool attitude, which flirts with sportswear: the clothes themselves convey a dressed-up image but accessorized with sneakers on the feet, caps, the poses are nonchalant and always elegant.

I also wanted a series with very straightforward postures, of the city woman, half businesswoman, half fashionista: in a flowing dress and belted blazer, our heroine is sure of herself while the trouser suit is worn with femininity and conviction and an impeccable shirt completes the silhouette.

Makeup is getting more intense, hairstyles are more glamorous, dresses are adorned with jewelry, we swap our ankle boots for glittery sandals and the temperature rises a notch... Here we are in the club, queens of the dancefloor, ready to end the night with wild rhythms.

Managing to construct the photos that embody the different facets of this collection was once again a real team effort.

Charlène Pélut is always by my side to put all my desires into images and bringing us together in this incredible place that is Pierresvives was very exciting. The wonderfully talented and adorable team Nicolas Astruc and Téva Quesada for makeup and hair understood what I had in mind to evolve the look of my Fauve women throughout the day and the desired atmospheres.

Obviously, my wonderful models Vanina, Amanda and Cathy were the most beautiful muses one could find to embody this collection. And I won't forget the women in the shadows: Julie, Marine and Céline who worked behind the scenes!

For this shooting, I also knew the importance of the accessory to carry my message more strongly. I contacted 2 magnificent brands to complete the outfits and make my fantasized New Yorker even more "alive".

I discovered the Zèta sneaker brand during a very inspiring interview in the Entreprendre dans la mode podcast . Zèta offers very beautiful sneakers and carries eco-responsible values ​​that did not leave me indifferent and when I saw how much the different colors offered matched the colors of the fabrics in the collection I could not resist and I dared to contact Laure. The brand sent us shoes and I find that the sporty chic look is ultra accomplished with these beautiful Zèta!

As a jewelry lover, I wanted to embellish our outfits. And I had an aesthetic shock when I discovered the latest Dior Homme collection by Kim Jones and Travis Scott, where the models wear impeccable suit jackets closed with a brooch. I needed the same thing for the photos! While looking for pretty pieces, I discovered the work of the brand Christelle dit Christensen . Once again, I fell in love with the finesse and embroidery work of her jewelry and took the courage to contact the designer (a sweetheart) who sent us a multitude of wonders.
