A circle is a symbol of eternity and harmony, with no beginning nor end.
 |
It is the balance of life. The circle is also lunar, the way a moon often hints a feminine divinity.
 |
The curtain rises on a big coat of gazar, like a middle eastern prince’s, worn on an evening pyjama in ivory crepe. Then steps forward a half-poncho made of concentric circles.
 |
Later on, a spheric jumpsuit in grainy crepe with silver embroideries transcribes with each step, every shift of the body. The flow is yet again architectural, driven and spectacular.
 |
A white jersey sheath dress blooms out of a bouquet of half circles on the ankles, skirts are draped in loops and reveal a hip or a leg, all the way to the waist.
 |
The gowns and jackets’ shoulder lines are squared and the lapels, circular.
 |
The style is minimal but strong. Stéphane Rolland for this summer 2020 goes to the essential and affirms his gesture.
 |
A silver bustier is holding a cage of gigantic orchids made of black and white gazar, an other is entirely covered with topaz or yet, circled by a sculpture of silver and smoked crystals or embroidered with feathers on a big transparent gauze skirt.
 |
The allure is soft, milky, cloudy. The aspect remains light, floating, like the sculptures of white sequins embellishing a bust or black Samothrace’s like wings on the hips of a bustier dress in nude iridescent chiffon.
 |
The colors are fundamental. Black, white, cream … but punctuated with browns, bougainvillea pink and Klein blue.
 |
Metallic embroideries made of silver mirrors, crystals and chrome spheres are shimmering but with the sole purpose of emphasising a curve or finish a movement.
The movement, incidentally, is a constant pursuit of a dream and accuracy.
Infinite delicacy.
