The delicacy of construction (every single piece is wholly
handmade in her own leather atelier) as well as the soft
color palette of the collection have been captured this time

photography: highly esteemed Madame Peripetie
who cut translucent shapes to reveal the details

Her sculptured bodypieces, leather belts, jewelry and
stunning clutches with a star-shaped pattern bearing tiny
metallic details look gorgeous, easily wearable and less
stagy: ”each piece fits the body beautifully and it has been
carefully and slowly allowed to evolve on the mannequin,
almost as a sculptor approaches a sculpture” she wrote
in her Paris invitation telling... everything and nothing.
