Ines' Spring-Summer, discover her exclusive interview

What are the central themes that guided this Spring-Summer 2025 collection?

A city theme and a countryside theme but clothes that can still fit both themes and mix cheerfully.

Each season tells a story, an emotion, a vision: what do you want to convey this year?

After a harsh winter and sometimes worrying news, a great desire for joy of life, lightness, carefreeness. Clothes for parties, weddings, sunshine, vacations but also a joyful everyday life.

What are the factors that influence your creations? The places you like to travel, your encounters, your readings, your artistic emotions?...

I draw my inspiration from everything around me: exhibitions, films, readings, travels, but especially from everyday situations. I create the clothes I miss depending on the circumstances. Choosing a fabric is almost magical: I already see the ideal cut. Jane Birkin perfectly embodies this stylistic freedom, mixing freshness, sophistication, rock, romance, and sobriety through the decades. I adore her!

Which materials or textures do you want to highlight for this season?

After the winter layering, the warm and sometimes heavy clothes, I only want one thing: lightness! Not to be constricted, bothered, tight... Cotton, fine wools, and linen are perfect for that. When the materials are of good quality, they age well and look beautiful even when wrinkled, just like us! (laughs)

Fashion is constantly evolving. What challenges do you find exciting to tackle for 2025?

Fashion evolves with our desires and the images that influence us, and that's a good thing! As Lampedusa said in The Leopard: "Everything must change so that nothing changes."
Rather than fighting, you have to adapt. Today, cuts are looser, and I try to integrate them without women feeling lost. I also like that each piece in a collection mixes easily, no fashion degree needed!

Your style often reflects a dialogue with art or culture: who inspires you today?

You have to stay curious, soak up everything, then forget to better refine.
Over time, the more I accumulate, the more I seek simplicity. Choosing, eliminating, going to the essential is a difficult but essential exercise. Fashion is a paradox between eccentricity and the quest for timeless beauty... a true neurosis!

Do new generations influence your creations?

I love the stylistic freedom of the new generation: wearing what you love without seeking strict coherence. In the past, clothes were matched by style, whereas today, this spontaneous mix breaks prejudices. I love this boldness: mixing sport and sophistication, subverting codes, playing with vintage not out of constraint but passion. What seemed kitsch yesterday becomes attractive today. Fashion is about accepting to be surprised, and sometimes even changing your mind!

How is sustainability increasingly shaping this SS25 collection?

I’m not trying to do greenwashing: when it’s good quality and beautiful, we keep what we bought for a long time, then we pass it on, our daughters wear them, it lasts, it’s good for the planet. Less is better, better is good.

What would you like people to feel when wearing your creations?

I want my clients to feel so good in my clothes that they forget them once they’re out. That feeling of being both a little someone else and fully yourself. I love when a jacket makes you want to buy it in several colors, when pants like the Charlotte go through seasons unchanged because they suit so many women. Elegance is not about accumulating, but having the right pieces, the ones you really wear.

Finally, which pieces from your previous collections would you like to reinvent or adapt?

I keep pieces from past collections, like satin or faille parkas, because I know they will always be useful for occasions when you want to be dressed without a long dress. I love navy blue sweaters, crew necks, velvet, pea coats, high-waisted pants... every designer has their obsessions. A good garment lasts through generations, and a good jacket is like a friend, ready to save you. The joy of finding something you want to wear immediately, or learning that a client has kept my creations for 10 years, is a true pride. My clients and I share the same taste, like virtual friends. Clothes can really make every day as pleasant as a vacation day, and the idea of creating pieces you forget you’re wearing is the dream.
