Autumn | Winter 2008
Greatly inspired by the beautiful music of band ‘Beirut’, A/W 08 is a truly intuitively romantic collection. Again the ‘jeux des opposes” of textures and materials, again the symbiosis with antique lace, delicate silks and leathers play harmoniously in a feast of silhouettes…
But there is a story, the story of a forbidden love, a curse of faith, the sole motor that exasperates the craftsman’s desire for perfection.
“Women! I never knew love until I promised Bridgette that before I die I’d burn down Montmarte so she could gaze upon the Sacre Coeur naked white and holy.” From the album 'The Flying Club Cup’ – Beirut.
