I was listening to Sade Adu and Lauryn hill for most of the time while making these pieces. Something struck me about the songs. Like great wine, they got better with each listen. These songs had no expiry dates, so I began to wonder why clothes and styles should. I discovered the beauty of timelessness, that man can live forever through his clothes. I discovered the art of living forever. With this collection, I explored the idea of timelessness and romance. Garments that would always be relevant to women, I pioneered this with a line of impeccably made evening dresses that celebrates youth and the female form, I also wanted to explore the idea of a vicnate tailleur, a straight wide leg pant, built in cummerbund paired with a sharp tailored jacket with satin lapels, which is inspired by monsieur Yves’s le smoking.
