BRETON WAVE
Kingston University


The starting point for this collection is Faligot long lasting interest for the traditional costumes of her homeland: Brittany.
The sponsorship of the collection by the Breton brand 'Armor Lux' provides classic fabrics: the renowned Breton stripe as well as sumptuous Melton wool.





















Technical fabrics and modern techniques such as laser cutting contrast with these. This collection of unique pieces, presents craftsmanship and hand engineering providing a precious and intimate relationship between the wearer and the clothes.








'(Breton costumes are) an inexhaustible show, an invigorating kaleidoscope full of education - according to me - for the future: matching tradition (not traditionalism) and leading-edge technologies. In order to find the right garment balancing between rite and practice, material and spiritual, yesterday and today. It is a real treasure of elegance, details and cuts more modern that we, designers, could ever imagine, and hope to make alive again'
Christian Lacroix; 1994
