It all started a couple of years before the collection launch, triggered by Yves Salomon’s concept to mixture his interest for fashion with his love for household furniture style. As a vintage furniture fanatic, Salomon actually possessed a number of Pierre Chapo parts in the house when he to begin with envisioned the assortment.
He and also Marcellin Boyer made a decision to reach out to Zoran Chapo, Pierre Chapo’s son, after discovering that he was reimagining his grandpa’s legendary styles. ‘It’s a funny story,’ Boyer recalls. ‘When Mr.
Salomon told me he would like to create a furnishings assortment, I said, I possess a concept, considering that I had actually simply bought some Chapo parts for my own home kitchen job.

Unlike the delicate products typically made use of through Yves Salomon, this selection required a change to additional sound and tough styles. ‘This was a big challenge since, as a luxury label, our experts’re utilized to generating lightweight, bright garments. This collaboration was the comprehensive reverse– it had to be strong, heavy duty, as well as solid,’ Yves Salomon shares.
The selection was given birth to using the intarsia procedure, a classic technique in the fashion industry, especially along with coat as well as shearling. While usually used to develop delicate and also fragile styles, this technique needed to be actually conformed to achieve a sturdy and sound framework. Each shearling piece was thoroughly cut and also stitched by palm, leading to a vibrant and also tough design.
‘I need to say that Yves Salomon is actually very reserved, but they are known to be the most effective on earth at this approach. Thus, I was actually actually positive when they informed me they intended to use it for our collaboration,’ describes Zoran Chapo.Zoran Chapo (left behind), Yves Salomon (correct)|image courtesy of Maison & Objet A New Life for Leftovers: Upcycled Materials Meet Iconic Layouts The collective compilation is breathed life into using upcycled components, including thrown out cloths, shearling, and also leather-made fragments that were actually typically taken into consideration improper for other jobs. ‘Our company must understand that when we make a garment, it should be ideal.

Durability was actually main to the venture, along with both brand names highlighting its own value at every phase.
