The collection was inspired by movements of French painting. Designer Virginie Viard revealed she had looked to the artists Berthe Morisot, Marie Laurencin, and Edouard Manet as well as to English gardens for inspiration for the line.
"There are Impressionist-inspired dresses, skirts that look like paintings. I love seeing color in the greyness of winter. I really wanted a particularly colorful collection that was very embroidered, something warm." Viard said in a statement.
The collection featured tops, dresses, and skirts embellished with floral motifs, with one frock embroidered with water lilies and a black coat adorned with pink and yellow tulle pompoms.
It also featured colorful tweed suits, a staple of the privately-owned luxury group, feathered and ruffled skirts as well as chiffon and lace-trimmed dresses. There were also trousers suits in hot pink as well as cream.
