For the Spring/Summer ’23 season, creative powerhouses Emmanuelle Khanh and Maitrepierre have partnered once again to bring us their latest collaborative endeavor: La Fleur. This latest chapter in the ongoing partnership between Eva Gaumé, artistic director of the House of Emmanuelle Khanh, and designer Alphonse Maitrepierre, showcases the unique bond between these rising stars in the Parisian fashion scene.
Alphonse Maitrepierre took the stage at Paris Fashion Week with his second official show, showcasing his eponymous label's direction, melding together elements of art, traditional couture techniques, and futuristic sportswear. La Fleur was inspired by the French fairy-tale “Donkey Skin,” and the famous film
adaptation by Jacques Demy, with the collection communicated in a conceptual manner.

“La Fleur is an ode to nature and its fragility, It is a celebration of the delicate beauty of flowers, with their timeless quality.”
