An iconic collection

Empire State Of Fauve is a collection that you really enjoyed when it came out. We received a lot of messages telling us that you loved the idea of ​​a wardrobe that can be worn both for the office and for the evening, with timeless pieces and beautiful, timeless pieces (highly desirable ;)).

Each season, I work to design the collections so that each pattern combines with the others, and so that we can "navigate" in the universe of the collection according to our desires: a strong blazer, a small short jacket, a beautiful pants pattern, a shirt with perfect details, a worked blouse, a devilishly feminine wrap dress that also comes in a blouse… All these patterns offer a perfect playground. I imagined a city woman, who likes elegant, comfortable clothes, and a wardrobe that goes to the essential but without putting aside a note of originality, a singularity that signs the Maison Fauve silhouette.

Obviously, the choice of fabric will be essential to the style of your sewing: a blouse will not have the same look in brightly colored viscose or in delicate lace, a leopard jacket will not say the same thing as a British jacket in navy tartan... Let us make suggestions for each pattern in the Empire State Of Fauve collection.

One costume can hide another…

The Manhattan jacket and Brooklyn pants are a natural match. To unlock this outfit's potential, I'm suggesting two fabrics that are polar opposites in style, but equally appealing:

• A strict/chic look in our tartan wool

• A glam rock look in Fauve Party leopard jacquard

An easy-to-style blouse

The beautiful Chelsea blouse is characterized by its pleated detailing, which is even more striking in plain colors. For this little gem, you can choose between:

• A graphic look thanks to our range of viscose twills in full and vibrant colors

• A neo-romantic look in our beautiful lace: in red, green, black or ecru, our Botanica lace is unparalleled in bringing a precious and sophisticated touch to your creations.

• The purity of our ecru tencel, luminous and which goes to the essentials

A shirt that plays with classicism

The Skyline shirt has a perfect cut, beautiful proportions, and especially the little twists dear to my heart: beautiful stitched pleats, and an open back option. For Skyline, opt for soft fabrics, which mark with an iron, and rather lightweight for a supple look:

• A beautiful printed poplin that subtly reveals the pleats

• A vaporous cotton veil, for a bohemian Skyline (plain colors are always a success on Skyline!)

• A magnificent jacquard, like our beautiful Lily, in white or black, to bring a sophisticated touch to your hand-sewn shirt

The most couture of little jackets

The Métropolis jacket is one of my essentials, I love its slightly cropped cut, its cut, its bands which embellish the bust and play on the volumes, and you will surely have noticed the nod to couture icons: a collarless jacket, with double buttoning like an embellished bib… You will have understood, I am crazy about it ;)

And there is nothing more versatile than Metropolis:

• For a simple and elegant jacket, choose our tartan wool, which has a perfect weight and drape.

• For an original little jacket to wear every day, discover the Loop jacquard and the Botanica jacquard in Ink version

• If you're looking for a spring jacket, go for our bright coral Loop jacquard, or our ecru Botanica jacquard delicately embellished with lurex floral patterns.

• And for a show-off version: again, nothing like our beautiful Fauve Party jacquard

The essential wrap dress pattern

In a SoHo dress , you feel beautiful! Its cut is nicely cinched by darts and a belt that has the particularity of not cutting into the waist. The wrist has a small cutout (the kind of detail that doesn't jump out at you but gives the elegant SoHo its discreet charm). In addition, it will follow you summer and winter thanks to our free sewing hack that allows you to wear it without the sleeves. As a blouse or a dress, you should bet on soft fabrics:

• Our Lily or Léo viscose jacquards, with their beautiful drape and satiny patterns

• Our plain twills, for an unforgettable dress

• Our printed poplins, all light and with patterns that will dance to the rhythm of your steps

I can't wait to see what designs this collection will inspire you to create: street chic in Brooklyn sneakers and a light Skyline, bohemian in SoHo lace and a velvet suit, 70s in printed SoHo? It's your turn!
