Daughter of Psyche and Eros, the goddess Voluptas inspired me a woman whose beauty is striking and emotional, at once earthly and celestial. To clothe her, I let my desire for a cinematographic and poetic allure, for a moving architecture, for structured flow. To highlight her sensuality, I wanted feminine lines with my masculine twist, soft and voluptuous materials, of emblematic drapes. I worked contrasting colours with relish to reveal her multiple facets, cutting midnight and blacks with springtime pastels, floral mirages and sparkling sequins. This collection is my amorous gaze for divine women.
