Always influenced by literature, Louis-Gabriel Nouchi told the story of a famously steamy affair, set in French Indochina, between a very young woman and her older Asian lover, as the theme of his new collection.
Named “UNAUTHORIZED1” after being denied use of the original title by the author’s estate – literary enthusiasts can easily recognize which novel are we talking about here – the collection was languid, playing with a feeling of ambivalence between the public and intimate spheres.
Here, the designer brought homewear to its peak, offering innerwear like bathrobes, pajamas, night shorts, and lingerie reworked to easily match with outerwear. The collection also included relaxed tailored separates treated with natural dyes made from coffee, beech and hazelnut while his new line of recycled nylon swimwear brought a sultry note and undressed touch to this road trip along the Silk Road.
