Collection Notes
Première Danseis a nod to nostalgia, love, and our loved ones.
Codes of Feminity
In this collection, Alice Vaillant continues her exploration of the codes of femininity, which refuses to lock itself into pre-established frameworks but is in perpetual reaffirmation. "We live in an era where everything evolves rapidly. My generation is witness to this constant change. That's why I want to build a complete wardrobe that adapts to femininity in all its diversity," says Alice Vaillant.
Première Danse
The Artistic Director of VAILLANT, who graduated from the Paris Opera School of Dance, is inspired by the play of movement, both in the fluidity of fabrics and in the layering of technical garments, which are associated with delicate and sophisticated pieces.Première Dansealso refers to one of Alice Vaillant's guilty pleasures: the French movieLa Boum. "Vic and Poupette having lunch at La Coupole, the quest for unconditional love, and intergenerational transmission are themes that touch me a lot," explains the designer. "That's also why I like the idea of showing in a high school; it's the home of the first emotions," she adds.
VAILLANT presents knitwear, denim, and shoes in this new collection for the first time. TheFarfalleankle boots, with their assertive lines, are made in Italy and complete the VAILLANT silhouette. The brand's new handbag -Clichy- is a playful reference to the address of the design studio on Avenue de Clichy in Paris' 18th arrondissement.
For thisPremière Danse, VAILLANT offers a new reading of the pieces that have characterized the brand since its beginnings, such as the asymmetrical top with lace associated with this season’s color palette. The contrasting lace bands carefully selected in Calais are a well-established code in VAILLANT's DNA. This winter, VAILLANT partners with Californian lifestyle brandUGG® to reimagine the brand's iconic silhouette. The three styles combine theUGG® DNA with an 80s twist inspired by dancers' gaiters and ski boots.
Aware of the environmental challenges of its time, VAILLANT is constantly seeking a balance between creation and production while remaining environmentally conscious: product traceability, European production, and certified materials.
