So many colours on one piece — you tell yourself it will be unwearable!
Imagine instead a painting: watercolour flowers in fuchsia, turquoise and soft aqua green, blending into one another on a very pale background. Stop imagining: the Lucie is an artwork before it is a print.
-
Blended colours
No shade stops abruptly: pinks slide into purple, turquoise into green. Those soft transitions make the whole harmonious rather than garish.
-
A pale background
The pearl-grey background carries the pattern, calms the whole piece and lets the flowers breathe. Without it, the jacket would be overloaded; with it, it's luminous.
-
One statement piece
Worn over black or plain grey, it becomes the whole outfit. It's the simplest way to wear a lot of colour: put it in just one place.
-
Quilted comfort
The fine filling keeps out the chill without weighing down your shoulders or getting in the way of your arms. You forget you're wearing it.
-
Dark finishing
The charcoal piping frames the edges and gives structure to all that abundance. It's the frame of the painting.
Colour is only unwearable when it's everywhere at once. Concentrated on a single jacket, it becomes a signature — the one people will ask you to wear again.
