After a winter in the louche Berlin bathed in techno and neon, the hero of the season stops in the Aegean sea. A tailoring journey between sky and sea, the sun directly overhead, to be precise. The warm stone of ancient ruins, the arid earth under a zenithal light, and the possibility of an island are the backdrop for this summer wandering, whether imaginary or real.
The wardrobe designed by Pierre-François Valette is structured yet light. Relaxed style prevails, but elegantly so. Obviously. The purity of the lines evokes the designs and the personal wardrobe of Yves Saint Laurent in the 1970s.
The construction, precise, is emphasized at the shoulders but not excessively. All the pieces, from the safari jacket to the tie by the way of the shirt dress, acquire a new nobility while evoking freedom.
Even the fitted waistcoat is becoming popularized. The unisex offering continues at Valette Studio and is enriched with dresses for day and evening. The striped shirt is omnipresent and slightly cheeky. A revisited, assumed urbanity.
Rock beige, khaki green, taupe gray, and sun red are punctuated by tuxedo black and, finally, a mix of sunset colors for a hedonistic after-hours experience. Crafted in cotton poplin, fluid silk, cotton twill, lacquered cotton, and summer wools, the collection combines comfort and style, without sacrificing one for the other.
Beyond the Valette Studio label, the studio and Ateliers Valette operate as a design office for creatives, bringing together in the heart of Paris the skills and services needed to meet high-quality bespoke requirements, from design to production.
