After following a number of paths: Arte povera, Cuzco paintings and the Ladies of the British Empire, Franck Sorbier decided to finally settle in Paris. After muted tones, the spotlight is on grafitti colors. The silhouettes are more committed, the volumes more controlled, but the charm remains omnipresent. The waist is pronounced, accentuated by extended shoulders and hips padding
This collection is a strange recipe. A blend of heritage know-how and a certain taste for provocation. To the untrained eye, they may look like makeshift dresses, but the sheer number of hours spent on their creation proves otherwise. A daring combination of “baroque 40”, “street art psyche” and timeless Spanishades.
As for the fabrics, ersatz fabrics rub shoulders with silks. End-of-stock items, second-hand coupons and drawer bottoms with no follow-up, like plastics, silk satin, beaded patterns, velvets, organza satin, watchmaking and gemology elements, heavy crepe, but also guipure and lace, are all treasures unearthed here and there or simply rediscovered.
Commonplace materials are ennobled and precious fabrics desecrated, like the colorful laces and silver mechanical lace from the Société Choletaise de Fabrication.
