Cherry Darling
Spring’s star palette, from acidic cherry tones to deeper crimson shades, elegantly dresses noble materials and injects a playful freshness into the timeless glamour of red.

Couture Leather
The season’s top trend, carmine leather is everywhere on the runways and in every wardrobe. We love this daring yet luxurious mix.
A favourite from the Paris fashion shows, the silhouettes from Hermès are delicate and scarlet. Here, a bohemian ensemble composed of a crop top and a balloon skirt in perforated leather with a lace effect. These pieces are worn immediately, separately or combined with black and warm garments — the top beneath an oversized wool blazer and the skirt with a small cashmere sweater.
As always, the Italian house Versace embraces extravagance and fantasy by daring to create a cherry-red leather suit. While the total look may certainly be too much, one remembers the playful idea of strong and sexy red leather for men.
Faithful to her folk-inspired universe, Isabel Marant revisits the little leather rock dress in a coated and flashy style. With squared shoulders and belted hips, this starlet mini-piece will certainly turn heads.
Trendy Trompe-l’Œil
Jacquemus takes fashion literally with this poetic and playful necklace in plated brass and enamel.

Luxurious Wool
To combine comfort and elegance, nothing rivals wool.
With its unisex “Coeur” roll-neck sweater in felted merino wool, Ami Paris delivers a beautiful basic that has become a true hit for everyone who shares both life and wardrobe.
For several seasons, Valentino has championed the colour-block total look. After fluorescent pink, saturated red now takes centre stage. Simple and refined, this time we fall for the straight mini dress in couture crepe, virgin wool and silk.
Belgian tailor Café Costume surprises and impresses with its modern and relaxed vision of high-quality tailoring. For a candlelit dinner, this royal red wool suit with single-button fastening and visible stitching offers elegance and confidence.
The distinguished loafers. Cognac leather tassel loafers by Santoni, available at Maison Degand.
The artistic tie. Silk tie by artist Otani Workshop for Dior.
Sublime Satin
Style lies in the details… and for Valentine’s Day, the focus is naturally on subtle references to romantic classics.
With this choker in leather cord and shiny fabric, Antwerp label Les Jumelles embraces our romantic side and invites us to see life through rose-coloured glasses.
Known for its sensual evening dresses, Parisian label Tara Jarmon adds an eighties-inspired touch with its satin “Richesse” dress featuring an oversized bow used as a bustier. An irresistible revival piece.
