Fauve Parade: the back-to-school capsule and SCALA, our signature shirt in Marie Claire Idées

A back-to-school season marked by elegance and creativity, for the craziest of collaborations: welcome to our Fauve Parade!
Aligned stripes, impeccable pleats, well-ordered tweeds... Beneath the uniform look, the Fauve spirit makes the difference. Between British rigor, a nautical nod and sharp femininity, Fauve Parade plays with the back-to-school season with panache.
To celebrate our 10th anniversary, Maison Fauve is in the spotlight in the back-to-school issue of Marie Claire Idées with an exclusive pattern: the Scala shirt .

Scala: the signature shirt by Maison Fauve

Inspired by the menswear wardrobe, Scala plays with the codes of Italian elegance and charm: a straight cut, wide graphic stitched pleats, a round pleat in the back, and a large structured collar. This beautiful sewing pattern is full of details while remaining a timeless piece, faithful to the Maison Fauve DNA.

The Scala pattern is available in sizes 34 to 52, with seam allowances included and several PDF format options (A4, A3, A0, US Letter, video projection).

For those who do not have the edition with the paper pattern included, the Scala PDF pattern is available for free on our site thanks to the promo code indicated in the magazine (valid from 08/20 to 10/31/2025) .
We also provide seamstresses with a very detailed and illustrated PDF assembly booklet , as well as a free step-by-step sewing video .

And to treat you, the magazine is also offering the Maison Fauve community a very nice subscription offer: a special 1-year subscription offer to Marie Claire Idées for €29.90 instead of €35.40 . Your subscription will start with the next issue of Marie Claire Idées magazine.
