HANDLES IN THE FORE, ARTIFICIAL NATURALS, A NO-GENDER FLUIDITY

COATS & OUTER GARMENTS Illusion of thickness: coarse yarns, magnified textures that aren’t raw or rustic. Airy thick weaves, cotton gauzes that offload weight and let air through. Simple jacquards and stripes with pale grounds and astonishingly supple, light and fresh handles. Blocked knits, stabilised fleeces and stiff piqués for outer garments with a nautical flair. Dry handles: on the one hand, a feeling of tiny grains for cottons and wools dried out by synthetic blends, by over-twisted yarns, or by weave textures. On the other, a feeling of crunchy paper, with linens and cottons with deliberately artificial, matt coatings.Ethno-fantasy: freshened-up ethnic or primitive decoration. Light-toned grounds, spruce or fruity colourways, simplified and graphic patterns for cheery and fantasy-filled jackets and coats. Pale artisanal tweeds with a flowery rusticity. Jacquards and embroideries on denim or chambray grounds.Artificial shine: synthetic satiny fabrics, cottony gleam, finely varnished coatings for light-reflecting blousons and raincoats.

SUITSLively fineness: a new kind of non-limp fluidity energizes masculine suitings. Ultra-fine yarns, dense and lightweight weaves, 100% wool or with a little stretch, fresh handles. Visuals remain elegant and sober.A trace of shiver: very subtly quivering cotton or wool suitings, moving seersucker checks. A summery and relaxed spirit. Up for air: transparency in a masculine vein. Very chic worsted wools with open weaves, dry gauze, mohair accents, and micro openwork for naturally breathable suits.Chic linen: very fine linen with no trace of rusticity for naturally elegant suitings. Blends with wool or cotton, barely perceptible slubs, and dry, slightly papery handles.

WOMEN’S SEPARATES Dynamic fluidity: artificial fibres take the throne. Viscose, Cupro or Lyocell with soft and fresh handles. Ultra smooth surfaces, nervous and slippery handles. Gleaming or powdery aspects.Artificial vegetal fibres: linens and natural blends / Lyocell with bold shine. Fabrics midway between a silky handle and a natural look.

CASUAL JACKETS & PANTSUltra-neat: frankly clean casualwear with very fine and opaque cotton stretch blends for ultra lightweight pants. Satiny gleam all in suppleness. Two-tone micro-patterns for discreetly fancy jackets or pants. Impeccable knit or woven piqués.Intense suppleness: a linen-y or cottony feeling of substance softened by looser weaves, artificial blends and finishes that lend suppleness. Heavy and ultra nonchalant handles in denim.Tone-on-tone decoration: the DNA of camouflage, with precise blobs and dabs in indigo or cottony jacquards, prints on pant or blouson weights.

LININGS Linings relax. Small textures or precise irregularities. Bucolic prints to set the insides of jackets and blousons abloom.

MORE EVERYDAY SILKIES, CHICER SHIRTINGS, SIMPLER DECORATION

SHIRTS & BLOUSES Nonchalant silkies: everyday silkies in viscose, Cupro or Lyocell blends are given a soft fluidity. Featherweight supple twills and mock men’s suitings or shirtings, with powdery accents and a subtle gloss.Semi-transparent: matt, petal-like, almost-voiles. Lightweight cotton and artificial blends. Delicate yarn-dyeds enlivened by vegetal micro-slubs, updated dotted swiss and fragile burnt-outs.Graphic openwork: geometricized, squared-off lace and mesh with graphic rhythms and dynamic colours. Simple monochrome motifs for sports-inspired tops.Light shivers: micro ripplings of silky crepes and cottony crepons, fully mobile seersuckers and tiny cloqué undulations. From light satiny fabrics to diaphanous transparencies. Plains with very elaborate handles.

KNIT TOPS Satiny fluids: silk or polyester jerseys and double knits with an affirmed shine. Smooth mirroring surfaces, cold and slippery handles, for sexy tops and dresses to slide right against the skin.Languid fleece: refined terry or bouclette fleece given lightness and fluidity by artificial or synthetic blends, for suppler, more flexible sweatshirts.Weightless tee-shirts: super-fine and super-light knits in cotton, modal or linen, almost zero weights, discreet stitch plays revealed in transparency, phantom ribs and piqué.

SHIRTINGSUltra graphic: on impeccable white grounds, with or without stretch, bold stripes, wide stick-stripes in contrasting colourways, precise, grid-like handkerchief checks. Micro cut-yarns and figurative mini-dobbys sparsely scattered across almost empty grounds. Impeccable gauzes graphically mark out emptiness, whether worked in all-over or in detail. Clean imperfections: linen or linen / cotton blends, very fine slubbed yarns for an impeccable vegetal spirit. Fancy semi-plains, figured tone-on-tones or simple stripes are barely perturbed by these natural irregularities. Chiné yarn effects or micro-vibrating throwns for elegant blurry/neat aspects.

Excess colour: deliberately offbeat and funny, exuberant, flashy colourings wake up tropical checks, and pump-up the plaids in casual shirtings.Japanese indigo: the magnetic power of dark blues, deep indigo and primitive blues. Tone-on-tone jacquards and little folk Ikats for casual shirts with an authentic note.

PRINTS & DECORATION Spontaneous lines: very thin or very thick, no half measures. Flowers and leaves daubed in broad strokes with a felt marker or scribblings. Non-digital graphics, hesitant contours and runny colours. Grounds remain visible, like a painter’s canvas.Elaborated simplicity: a visual obviousness and astute, never-easy graphics. Flat, cartoon-like motifs, silhouetted foliage, flowers like abstract colour blotches, schematic fruits or overprinted, irregular hand-drawn stripes. Artificial Edens: hand-painted foliage and jungles, greenhouse banana and palm trees. Little animals hidden in the leaves. Underwater vegetation and fauna, algae, fish and jellyfish.

OUTER AND OVER /Highlights for outerwear, coats, jackets, suits, pants, jeans, trenches, parkas, blousons and other tailored items. Plains and fancies, in cotton, linen-y, woollen or synthetic versions. Chic or relaxed suitings, tweeds and compact knits.

YARNS & KNITWEAR /Highlights for spinning and flatbed knitwear. Yarns for wovens, circular knits and flatbed knits. Creative stitch development and garment ideas for flatbed knitwear.

INTERACTIONA multi-sensory direction to create something unexpected through a series of contrasts and combinations. Yarns, fabrics and shapes playfully interact to create subtly sophisticated knits that glitch and surprise at every turn.

YARNS AND FIBRES Creating unexpected variations through dry vegetal fibres, slubs, twists, marls and irregular looks created out of mismatched combinations. Luminous fluidity achieved using ultrafine counts in viscoses, silks and cellulose blends sitting alongside unusual metallics that take on a luminous quality. Powerful volume creating a connection between active sport and nature. New natural appearances in synthetics resulting in weightless spongy volume through fibre or air-filled tubular yarns.

KNITS & STITCHESGlitched surfaces, cracked textures, inlaid yarns, broken stripes to break down the surface as patterns mix with transparency, embellishment or printing to distort further. Spirited craft with refined artisanal stitches and textures combine with broken patterns and double-knit jacquards for surface dimension. Dynamic openwork in macramé and delicate crochet with added dimensions of 3D motifs create abstracted patterns that avoid the traditional.

SILHOUETTE AND FORMSpontaneous off-centre directions and marginally asymmetric garment detailing. Clothing are deconstructed in unusual places to expose the insides. Disrupted patterns and stripes in shapes. Pleating and holding offer dimension whilst drape and movement flow over the body in layers. Ties, tabards and wrapping play on volume and scale. Playful structures and shapes that can move with effortless comfort in body conscious knits and layered dynamic fluidity. Statement knits which offer extreme proportions of structure.
