About Le Rouge et le Noir Modecollectie

Le Rouge et le Noir is een modecollectie geïnspireerd op de musical die is gebaseerd op de gelijknamige roman van Stendhal. De collectie vertaalt de emoties van hoofdpersonage Julien via een Franse rock-esthetiek. Negentiende-eeuwse Europese hofsilhouetten worden gecombineerd met punkdetails. Het klassieke rood-zwarte kleurenschema weerspiegelt de thema's van de roman. Elk stuk is met de hand vervaardigd uit echt leer, klinknagels, veiligheidsspelden en andere op maat gemaakte elementen. Het resultaat toont een ontmoeting tussen klassieke en hedendaagse designelementen.

Combining 19th-century European court costumes with punk elements, it adopts the classic red-and-black punk color scheme, echoing the novel’s themes, and presenting cross-era spiritual conflict and integration.
