Pre Spring 2025
Theme of the Pre Spring 2025 collection:
1 - "Lido Stripes": "Stripes have always been a “leitmotiv” in my collections. For the Pre-Spring 2025 collection, I decided to play graphically with two different dimensions of stripes.
Death in Venice, the famous Visconti movie, was one of the main inspirations for this collection; therefore, I decided to name this group “Lido Stripes.”
An off-white background instead of white was chosen to give an antique fabric look, combined with three different harmonies: Tobacco, as a new chic colour; Storm Blue a kind of blue-grey hue reminiscent of the English Channel or Scandinavian beaches; and Cyclamen, a sort of purple-pink for a floral touch."
2 - "Garden of Eden print" concept came up in my mind, after wandering through a Blooming mimosa forest On the French Riviera last winter.
I translated this wonder of Mother Nature into two different colorways, a yellow harmony referring to the blooming mimosa vision and a pink Harmony which is a wink to the magical cherry blossom in Japan.
I also decided to put here and there few free flying birds the enhance the idea of a peaceful "lost Paradise."
3 - “The Mimosa Embroidery" is a tribute to the wonders of nature.
Hand-embroidered either on a dobby soft cotton voile, either on a crispy poplin, we played two colour ways:
One colour way is mixing different shades of yellow degrade cotton threads with slashes of greens hues close to a real mimosa bush.
The second colour way is a very sophisticated combination of honey, rusty blond degrades cotton threads hand-embroidered on a cabbage white colour base.
For me it was a tribute to the dry mediterranean flora burnt by the sun.”
4 - "Cottage Block-print"
“I christened this charming hand block-printed pattern “Cottage” as a tribute to British cozy lifestyle.
This tiny fresh and delicate pattern is partly inspired by an end of 18th century hunting scene describing a flying bird and cornflowers in the air.
It immediately came up in my mind to use three different degrade hues of blues to illustrate a China porcelain cup which is part of a cottage lifestyle and to enhance a glossy graphic effect.
This darling color combination, blues have always been part of TC DNA, has also been declined in old Rose and chalk."
5 - "Edwardian Pleats"
"When I started to investigate my Pre-spring 2025 collection, I had in mind two cinematographic references: Death in Venice a Visconti film and Mademoiselle a Korean film directed by Park Chan Wook, both extremely sophisticated movies taking place in the Edwardian era.
Casting our Chinese stunning model Meng Ji made it: and I decided to design a group of refined silk cotton blouses inspired by Ladies of the Edwardian era using pintucks, pleats of different types and “jours de Venise” by hand."
