The simplicity of the door’s facade, together with the complexity of the engineering behind it, gave rise to a series of design trials that lead to this pattern for the fabrics used to create the collection shown on the runways of Paris Haute Couture Week.

Hand embroidery embellishments on a colorful palette of luxurious knit fabrics made by the designer, capture the beauty and the essence of a woman. Together with unexpected cuts on timeless, classic designs with modern details, the result is the “Symplexis” collection for the upcoming Spring/Summer season.
