MARC LE BIHAN

The sensual atmosphere of bohemian Paris lives on in Marc Le Bihan’s poetic couture, which brings to life the slender silhouettes of Degas’s restless ballerinas, confined by extreme corsetry yet freed in the graceful, shaded tulles of their full dance skirts.

Haute couture, textile research and relentless formal experimentation shape layered looks and raw-cut edges, focusing on the construction of high collars and décolletés, on generous yet streamlined proportions, and on washes, color treatments and imperceptible variations in texture.

All of a piece with the countless folds of a critical, passionate vision and its unshakable aesthetic ambitions, translated with sophisticated skill into garments.
