An immersive, moss-scented staging underscored Nadège Vanhée’s restrained take on equestrian heritage.

Overview

  • Staged at the Garde Républicaine, the runway unfolded over a moss-covered floor with moonlike apertures and a raised, winding catwalk.
  • Titled “Entre chien et loup,” the collection translated dusk into precise, body-conscious silhouettes designed to feel quietly powerful.
  • Leather dominated with fluid overcoats trimmed in Tuscan sheepskin, zip-front mini dresses, aviator and trench pairings with lambskin cycling shorts, and an orange ostrich-leather jumpsuit.
  • Construction emphasized tailoring and utility with diagonal and full-length zippers, double-breasted blazers, cigarette trousers, and occasional quilted silks printed with cloud-strewn skies.
  • The palette favored dusky blues and greens with flashes of orange, oxblood, and yellow, producing surfaces that shifted with the light, while one outlet reported a nod to Cassandre’s 1951 Perspective scarf motif.
