For the S/S ’22 show, Creative Director Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski whisked her guests to the outskirts of Paris to an empty hanger at the Le Bourget airport that had been transformed into a cylindrical installation enclosed with mobile panels in sunshine-yellow. The backdrops were hand painted by artist Flora Moscovici.

“Her way of using colour to transform public spaces in Paris meshed perfectly with the thought processes my teams and I had been engaged in since the pandemic, our aim being to renew the fashion show experience. Choosing Flora was an obvious choice: I needed something light-filled, solar, an intensely physical approach to painting,” Vanhee-Cybulski explained.
