Could you explain the collection presented and what has inspired you?
The inspiration for a collection emanates from many factors, such as the evolution of fashion, diversity, and creativity of materials. As well as the specific requests of each bride that often make the collection evolve.
Has the current situation influenced your creativity?
No, simply because, for the most part, the collection was conceived and created in the last quarter of last year – between September and December 2019. But what is certain is that this health crisis has inspired the theme of this year. The desire for lightness and optimism for the 2021 collection gave rise to its title: La vie est belle.
