It has the flavour of freedom and determination with a woman’s name, Rose Bertin. Her role in the history of fashion has gone unnoticed to give the scoop years later to Charles Frederik Worth, who is considered the father of design. Without detracting merit from Worth, today I want to wink to Rose, who already in the eighteenth century was appointed fashion minister by Marie Antoinette, thus becoming a reference at all royal courts of that time. She was independent, a pioneer in terms of style, a transgressive woman and my inspiration for this collection. To continue with the challenge of enhancing women at each historical stage, I have created a line of Baroque inspiration, with a minimalist and modern touch, while choosing a range of natural colours and finishes with purer lines. The large ribbons, which are not overloaded and combined with a nude aesthetic, enhance a woman's strength and security. I have managed to find in this collection the historical meaning of my career as a designer, the origin of my predecessors and discover the principles of that path that began centuries ago with the birth of my eternal love, haute couture.
