In just two years, Carven's creative director has transformed the storied French fashion house of old-school couture into the cool girl's label du jour.
"The idea behind the relaunch of Carven was not to spend too much time studying the archives, but to imagine what Carven would smell like if it were a perfume. I wanted Carven's rebirth to be modern, spontaneous, and chic. For the first resort collection, we wanted a lot of freshness and a calming color range. Switzerland really provided this — the sky, the landscapes, and the flowers."
"I don't have muses — I actually don't believe in that word — but there are girls whom I admire. I adore Alexa Chung's style. She never looks like she's dressed up only for photographers. I also love women across many generations, from Gena Rowlands to Chloë Moretz. I like styles that are more clever than sexy."
