Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran let themselves go with the idea of “traveling somewhere.” The destination was purely imaginary, an Impressionistic landscape painted on a 30-meter backdrop by the playwright, scenographer, and theater director Philippe Quesne. It proved a strong foil for what Lemaire described backstage as a nomadic tribe. Hence a collection composed of thoughtfully layered pieces that neatly spliced ease, movement, and a sophisticated take on functionality. Softly tailored outerwear in the form of a tobacco trench, a coat that can be worn like a blouson or a gilet, a black overcoat with a white lapel and lining, and an elevated take on the denim jacket looked like they could walk straight off the runway and into the streets of Paris. A blouse with a red marbled print, designed by the theartisan Frédérique Pelletier, brought a bit of psychedelia to a lineup focused on elevated effortlessness.
