It was during the second confinement that the idea of this collection came to ALPHONSE MAITREPIERRE. "At that time, for the second time, we all found ourselves locked up at home again. I wanted to make silhouettes that spoke about confinement, but not in a sad or frightening way, quite the contrary. For weeks we watched videos of people dancing at home, going for a walk, playing sports, arranging their space, having fun."
"It was important for me that these «Dadames» were a bit like our avatars, who with time become one with the decor around them. Thus, we can find hybrid pieces such as a comforter suit, a parquet dress, a vase bag, a sofa coat, and a hanger bag to name a few. In our image, they knew how to take this strange period with a certain humor and we can then see them becoming delirious, dancing, running, moving the walls, turning upside down the iconic gentilhommière de Lèves decorated by Madeline Castaing."
«Madeleine» Adem Elahel,is the result of a collaboration with 3D artist Adem Elahel and sound designer Hugues Tonnet.
