Wales Bonner arrives at the epicentre of European luxury, Place Vendome. In enters a band of free spirits, a montage of singular characters: artists, writers, watchers, seekers, all adorned now in the feeling of Paris. We see Baldwin, Baker, and the rest of the rebel sojourners arriving like a stream of stars, coming together in their uniqueness as if a constellation. The Autumn Winter collection acts as a study of diverse artistic traditions in the city of light, of circles formed amidst the arrondissements, of beautiful lives and expressions unburdened. The silhouettes are loose and preppy. Signature shirting and silk scarves made in collaboration with renowned artist Lubaina Himid issue an ode to the figure of the black flaneur, painterly subjects captured in twilight reverie. Bouclé tweed coats and studded corduroy trousers present a wardrobe for the free walk, the wind-guided wander—for thoughts and desires in long breaths, moments of calm before artistic rapture.
