For pre-fall, Vionnet rediscovers its most authentic roots with a cohesive collection where the past and the present seamlessly blend to define a new, modern sophistication.

The key elements of the Vionnet signature look are exalted through the research of silhouettes with a fresh, contemporary appeal and the use of innovative, luxurious fabrics. But they are also pinpointed with flocked and embroidered decors revealing their precise technical names.

Glamorous touches are introduced via the cascade of fringes covering skirts, dresses and overcoats, while a boudoir atmosphere echoes in the languid robe coats and handkerchief dresses crafted from soft velvet embellished with lace. The new pajama suit comes in mannish grey flannel and is trimmed with contrasting white piping.

Pictures of skiers taken from chair lifts inspire the multicolor polka dots embroideries embellishing a range of tulle, lace and net dresses, skirts and tops. Their lively spirit adds a playful, vivacious touch to the lineup.

Everything conveys a sense of powerful, independent femininity rooted in a timeless elegance projected into the dynamism of the present.
