The launch of our S/S '25 collection felt like the perfect excuse to style-test the Soie Sauvage Silk suit—nine different ways, three each of us, worn as a full set or in separate pieces. Proof that a great piece works however you wear it.
Soie Sauvage (*wild silk), is textured but soft, sculptural yet fluid; the kind of fabric that you will definitely love this season. Tiny embossed knots give it grit, the sheen keeps it polished. It moves like liquid but holds its shape. A contradiction in the best way.
Without planning it, we all gravitated toward black (with hints of white and ivory), which either means we share an unspoken style code or we’ve all subconsciously internalized the same aesthetic rules. Hard to say.

For my first style, I wanted that ‘rolled out of bed after a questionable night, threw on whatever was closest, and somehow managed to look good anyway’ energy. This is a look where you can feel the silk like it’s a second skin. Nonchalant, a little undone, yet impossibly refined.
I took the “Ned Kelly” trench, fastened it into a bomber silhouette (or rather, a top since there’s nothing underneath), and let the deep V-neck do its thing, keeping it bare without jewellery, because I like that part of my neckline clean. To add depth, I played with sheer textures, layering “The Intruder” silk midi skirt. Just long enough to feel covered without actually being covered, but sheer enough to reveal my legs. No stockings (never been a fan), just black leather boots underneath to keep it sleek. Head-to-toe black, because, well, what else?
Co-ording sets are the greatest shortcut of all. For this second style, the “Ned Kelly” trench and “Bushrangers” shorts in soie sauvage silk did all the talking for me.
I kept it pretty simple in black and ivory. But, in my opinion, when you’re dealing with a minimalist colour palette, mixing different textures is key. Underneath, I layered an ivory cardigan knitted in a lace ladder stitch, offering up the perfect "peekaboo" effect, and a tonal lace bralette to complete the look. The beauty is in the subtlety, so by keeping the cardigan unbuttoned, I let the shorts steal the spotlight. Then, I added knee-high leather boots to finish it off.
The “Inside and Outside” black silk bra does exactly what its name suggests: it’s meant to be worn both ways, inside and outside, layered or not. I took the latter approach for my next style with the co-ord “Ned Kelly” trench and “Bushrangers” shorts, swapping a classic top for something far more compelling (smaller, silkier, and with significantly less fabric).
I have a long-standing affinity for replacing blouses (especially when it comes to night-outs) with unexpected pieces that reveal just enough skin to make the rest of the outfit feel deliberate, almost disciplined. A bra or bralette has this very specific kind of energy: Poison Ivy from The Cramps’ Bikini Girls with Machine Guns, which btw is a perfect reference for wearing something so small with so much conviction. And because details matter, I matched the sheer element of the bra to sheer black socks and added a pair of black patent leather Mary Janes, because nothing offsets a little subversion like a perfectly polished shoe.

Think classic tennis whites, but with a shadowy twist. The “Ned Kelly” soie sauvage silk trench-coat —fluid and sharp— adds a moody contrast to the crisp white pleated skirt and Adidas polo neck, grounding the sporty aesthetic in something more refined. The Adidas Samba sneakers and ribbed socks keep things fresh and effortless, but it’s the black bow tie detail that takes it somewhere unexpected, almost like a rebellious school uniform. A perfect balance of structure and playfulness—game, set, match.
A study in texture, proportion, and attitude. The “Ned Kelly” takes on a whole new role, draped over matching “Bushrangers” bermuda shorts and the “Figure with Scales” silk-viscose tank top—an effortless interplay of fluid and sharp. But the real twist? The trench’s belt, now tied as a dramatic neck bow, adding a touch of theatrical romance. The finishing details—ribbed socks, razor-sharp shades (a modern nod to Gary Oldman in Dracula), and embroidered western mules—bring in an air of mystery. A little gothic, a little futuristic, and completely magnetic.
Where sharp tailoring meets fluid nonchalance. Once again the dropped shoulder trench-coat flows over the Kurdujin wide-leg trousers, creating long, effortless lines, while the deep V “Frightened” cotton blouse—with its striking double chelsea collar—adds a soft yet architectural contrast. The androgynous edge is undeniable, but it’s the styling that seals the deal: a simple black Aumorfia choker stacked with silver statement necklaces, bringing just the right amount of defiant glamour. It’s equal parts dandy, rock ‘n’ roll, and 90s minimalist—proof that power dressing doesn’t need to shout to be heard.

Maybe I’ve done too much aquarelle, but I had an epiphany. To use sheer fabrics like painters use water+black or water+white to create different hues of the same colour.
In this case, I used black sheer to create a grey shade, using ivory as a base. I could do the same with red to create burgundy or light blue to create a darker one. I wore a belt under the sheer fabric for that hint of gold, to compliment my gold choker. I rarely combine black and white to be honest, unless there is an extra play with textures or… (you guessed it!) hues!
Winter is not over yet, I still have exactly 9 days until the Spring Equinox. So that means 9 more days to wear a turtleneck a day!
My new obsession is vintage brooches as belts, but I took it one step further. I created a faux-belt with a brooch AND a faux-necklace with another one.
I love this Trench-Coat (not actually rainproof but does it really rain?) because it’s so light that you can wear it under your coat (for 9 more days) ooooor…
…over another jacket!
Spring is a layering playground. Also, it’s warm enough to leave tights behind and re-wear your fancy Christmas socks. A bit of sparkle compliments perfectly the silk’s sheen. Could I not wear a turtleneck? No!
I combined it with the shoes that absolutely everyone hates but I love completely. They have something Pilgrim about them! Is that a good thing? In my book, yes!
Bisous bisous
