The Pool Podcast

Good morning !

Each collection is for me an opportunity to explore a new universe, in order to define what the season's wardrobe will be. This summer's Fauve Woman wardrobe is joyful, colorful, both elegant and a bit offbeat, and I wanted to focus this playfulness around a pretty theme: The Pool. A real pool, with diving boards, swimming lanes, and slides. And we were lucky enough to be welcomed to La Grande Motte in the perfect location for this staging.

I enjoyed exploring retro iconography, a bit pin-up, a bit femme fatale. This 1950s Epinal image of bathers is accompanied by a very particular color scheme. This interplay of colors and shots was wonderfully executed by our photographer Charlène Pélut.

This desire for full color was reinforced during my research by immersing myself in the paintings of David Hockney, who depicted many views of swimming pools: bright yellow, intense blue, pink... My palette was created around these frank and summery tones: cobalt blue, fizz yellow, turquoise blue joined the ultra violet, shocking pink and very green.

In this new podcast episode, I tell you about the inspirations behind this summer wardrobe, the women who embody this summer look at Maison Fauve. I describe how the range of colors works together, and I present to you in more detail the sewing patterns and fabrics that make up the La Piscine wardrobe. Each model has particularities that I will present to you, as well as the choices of fabrics adapted to the patterns. New fabrics have also appeared in the range of materials such as cotton satin , cotton gabardine , and a new reference of pastel cotton jacquards highlighted with precious lurex thread .

Great discovery!
