Nothing Elegant

"A charm, a single charm, can be uncertain. If the red is a rose and it is enclosed by a gate, if the interior is invited in and changes occur, then something upright is revealed. It is genuine." Gertrude Stein, Tender Buttons (1914)

This collection represents a Woman's Rite of Passage: an American woman ventures to Paris in search of her true self. Strong-willed and innately curious, she embraces her masculine side with confidence. Her breakthrough moment is one of triumph and serenity. Inspired by American writers Gertrude Stein and Romaine Brooks—both of whom found a new sense of self in Paris—the collection mirrors this transformative journey. It incorporates the shared colors of the American and French flags and features unisex designs that reject traditional Western body shaping. The garments flow with ease, draping effortlessly, while every piece is impeccably finished—inside and out—with silks that caress the skin. This collection celebrates the joy of dressing, with this season's woman embodying both repose and sensuality.
