The Triumph of Flowers
The opera-ballet "Les Indes Galantes" by Jean-Philippe Rameau has served as a true inspiration for the two designers of La Métamorphose. Especially the verses “Triumph, pleasant flowers! Spread your perfumes, Revive your colors!" and "Inconstant Butterfly, Fly in your bocage! Stop, Suspend the course Of your fickle flame!" were impactfully motivating.
Each of the 21 stunning looks, that were uniquely and entirely handmade in the Maison's workshops, were designed with a choice of exceptional materials, and fully made in France in a manner respectful of the environment. Solstiss lace, silk, satin, tulle all provided an impeccable fit! Magical cuts, contrasting royal solar gold with the depth of midnight blue, and the lightness of anise green make up the newest collection.
The flower embroideries required a month of work, cut and painted by hand, another month to create the embroidery on the trouser suit, and two months for the pleating of the dresses. From fitted trouser suits to evening dresses, the artistic looks highlight the house's know-how, specifically with the new collection of La Métamorphose demonstrating that art is in the DNA of the creative sisters.
The butterfly dress, entirely painted by hand, landing in the extraordinary garden of La Métamorphose, reminds us that our land is this garden and that there is still time for the flowers to triumph again...
