Yolan Cris

"Montmartre je t'áime!", is an eclectic, timeless, floral collection, with a hint of naivety. It draws its inspiration from the Art Deco of the beginning of the century.

This year, the collection is comprised of five very different lines. The first three fall within Art Deco, and the other two are the Divas and Alquimia, now established emblematic company lines.

  • "Boudoir" Collection (Inspired by the creations of Madeleine Vionet. The fabrics are mainly creppe satin and gauzes. Hand-sewn precious stones and the importance of jewellery as a part of the dress take pride of place.
  • "Robes de style" collection (Robes de style was a vogue started by Lanvin at the beginning of the Century, creating a brazen, smart and no hang-ups fashion. Skirts became shorter, and were filled with patterns in pastel shades). We have filtered his idea into organzines and tulles, thus affording it a touch of freshness.
  • "Revival vintage" collection (a blend of Poiret's savoir faire, materials like old Chantilly, fringes, tulle godets, rustic guipures etc. The hazelnut colour is given the limelight in the collection. All reminiscent of the "Flappers" of the time

The three lines seek to recover a period of splendour, when, albeit in black and white, elegance was inborn. An epoch which managed to generate an undying style, where spirit and demeanour prevailed, "the raging 20s".

The following two collections:

  • The Divas collection (We have maintained the embroidered body-hugging Chantilly with generous necklines, floral reliefs and organzine silk petals) It is the company's "sexiest" line. Red carpet dresses inspired by the divas of the 40s.
  • Alquimia collection (It documents the most famous summer of our times, the summer of peace and love, Woodstock 1968-1969). Crochees, fringes of all sizes, linen, rubber, lace from Ibiza, braiding... They all make up our best-known line, Yolan Cris's "Hippie".
