Particular focus is placed on the distance between Paris and New York, which is visualized with a runway inspired by Andrée Putman and the carpet she designed for the Concorde and a 40-look collection combines the distinct auras of these transatlantic cities.
The Parisian woman’s effortless femininity is realized in billowy silk dresses and pleated skirts in embroidered tulle or wool gauze.
They are juxtaposed with crisp black leather tops and architectural coats that are made from graphic or Apaloosa prints indicative of New York’s urbanity.
Even the details, like grosgrain ribbons with vivid silver studs, are a seamless blend of elegance and a rock edge.
This melding of contrasts, this mixing and matching of textures, silhouettes and patterns gives each look a sense of individuality and dynamism. These attributes culminate in pieces that feature LGP, the new signature print for the over 70-year-old Longchamp.
Inspired by Bauhaus artists and New York’s maze-like grid plan, LGP is dispersed throughout the line, giving an assortment of jackets and separates a greater sense of big-city cool.
It is especially prominent on the brand’s new handbag collection, La Voyageuse. Modeled after portable vanity cases, La Voyageuse compact silhouette imbues a ladylike charm and, as the name suggests, serves as a perfect companion for traveling. It also comes in a large size for long distances and a foldable version ideal for those constantly on the go.
This energy is also evident in shoes that walk the line between graphic and feminine. Patchwork and vibrant python-printed leather are cast on platform boots in thigh-high and ankle lengths. There are also black biker boots that add edge to flirty, psychedelic dresses and skirts. The qualities in the collection speak to wanderlust, to strong women with enthusiasm that fearlessly combine styles to create a look all their own. They are forever in motion, restless in their pursuit of new experiences. It typifies every woman, the Longchamp woman.
