Véronique Nichanian’s latest collection masterfully explored the tactile pleasures of summer dressing through an exquisite play of textures and materials. Delicate yet purposeful, leather openwork wove itself into airy shirts and tailored trousers, creating ventilation while maintaining sophistication. The designer’s signature touch manifested in carefully deconstructed details raw edges gracing the hems of silk twill bandanas gave each piece an artful imperfection. Knitwear featured prominently, with ribbed constructions and nubby yarns adding depth and dimension to lightweight vests, their irregular surfaces inviting touch.
This was summer dressing conceived for urban adventures across every possible climate scenario. For blistering heatwaves, Nichanian offered innovative leather sandals with rope detailing a perfect marriage of ruggedness and refinement. Unseasonably cool evenings found their match in precisely constructed sleeveless knit vests, their open-weave patterns providing both breathability and coverage. Unexpected summer showers became fashion moments thanks to buttery-soft leather blouson jackets, some in a luminous yellow hue that seemed to capture sunlight even on the grayest days. Each piece demonstrated Nichanian’s uncanny ability to merge practicality with sensuality, transforming seasonal necessities into objects of desire. The collection spoke to a modern nomad whose summer might span continents from Mediterranean beaches to concrete jungles and needed a wardrobe as adaptable as their lifestyle.
