The French fashion house believes strongly in creativity and has become a brand that colors outside the lines, so to speak.

The collection values ambiguity and conceptual style, with a “fashion for all” philosophy behind the work. The garments and accessories for men and women will be available as of November 15th, 2012 online and in stores worldwide.
