The Design

About Le Rouge et le Noir Modekollektion

Le Rouge et le Noir är en modekollektion inspirerad av musikalen baserad på Stendhals roman med samma namn. Kollektionen tolkar huvudpersonen Juliens känslor genom en fransk rockestetik. Europeiska hovsiluetter från artonhundratalet kombineras med punkdetaljer. Den klassiska röda och svarta färgskalan speglar romanens teman. Varje plagg är handgjort med äkta läder, nitar, säkerhetsnålar och andra specialtillverkade element. Resultatet utgör ett möte mellan klassiska och samtida designelement.

Rock’s rebellious spirit, though seemingly incompatible with the literary work, accurately captures the characters’ core.
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.
