TWithout looking to the past, there is no future. By rediscovering the costumes of the great royal courts, in an idealized past, Valeriya reinvents couture in a modernity that seeks to link the timeless beauty of her history to a future that she hopes will be harmonious: beauty alone can save humanity. She thus gives her creations the period shapes, brought up to date, while symbolizing a link – the famous ankle attachment, signature of the collection – with the past. All asymmetries draw this balance between past and present. The materials are 100% natural, wool, cotton, silk.
Valeriya invented a new weaving technique, deposited and protected. No piece is lined, and the zips are made especially for the House and close upside down, with the House logo, a crown of course… She also decided never to pierce the weaving. As a result, all buttons are old bronze snap buttons. A last reminder to her “Futur antérieur”…
