Let's go back. 2019 is confinement, there are no more collection meetings, but there is, unfailingly, the long collaboration with my Florentine friends.

Zoom under the glass roof of their huge style office: Rita scrolls through marvels, paper designs, fabric designs, sketches or archives.

Among all these models, one of them charms me with its movement, its freedom of gesture, I feel a breeze.

At the same time, it is a complex design, with a dichotomy that is difficult to negotiate in couture

An imperative, keep the composition charming: flowers that seem to turn in a perpetual ballet, tender their corollas in a maternal grace,

their little huddled in buds barely hatched on a dense plant bed, whose humidity you can guess.…

I said to Rita: take the blue from one print, the green from another… Contrast the colors, turquoise and lilac, fuchsia and mauve.

Declines the roses as in the days of Taxi Mauve.

Blue: In heavy and compact cloth for your favorite dresses, skirts and pants.

This polyester poplin moves majestically, adjusts with a hint of elastane.

It is machine washable, does not iron.

Also blue, in mercerized cotton jersey for tops and shirts.

Top-of-the-range knit, with a matte and dry appearance.

Elastane provides comfort and stability.

Pink: in crepe knit for your divine dresses,

Phil, Satin Doll and the lovely Billet Doux you may not know yet

In viscose for the shiryts, a tribute to excessive femininity.

Fluid and soft, modern.

For those resistant to ironing, don't worry: let it dry on a hanger, it smoothes out at your body temperature.

What I call the elegant negligee....
