This week, the Report focuses on a signature piece from our couture house: the Théâtricule — especially fitting with fall coming in.
The Théâtricule is the smash hit of our 2023 collection inspired by Edward Gorey, an American illustrator who fancied the puffy sleeves of the 1890–1910 period.
Among many artistic endeavors, Edward lead a puppet troupe known as "Le Théâtricule Stoïque".
A devoted Francophile, he enjoyed inventing French-sounding words and created unexpected word pairings.
Our own unexpected pairings are often made out of antique silhouettes and materials firmly rooted in the 21st century.
