1989, DANIEL ROCHE, La Culture des Apparences, Une histoire du vêtement. FAYARD.
IF THE SPIRIT OF MY COLLECTION IS PROFOUNDLY INSPIRED BY THE WOMEN OF MY LIFE, THEN AN OLD MILITARY TRUNK IS THE FIRST MILE STONE ON THE ROAD TO MY NEW BORN BRAND.
YEARS AGO, WITH MY DAD, WE FOUND AN OLD WW1 TRUNK IN THE ATTIC. WE FOUND POST CARDS, FIELD MAPS, MEDALS, A PAIR OF GLASSES AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, A FANTASTIC OFFICER’S JACKET. THIS JACKET WAS THE FIRST ARTICLE OF A NOW LARGE COLLECTION OF ARTIFACTS FROM THE GREAT WAR.
THIS UNIFORM COLLECTION NOW INCLUDES OVER 1000 ARTICLES AND REPRESENTS A FANTASTIC DOCUMENTATION BASE. THIS PERIOD IS AN ENDLESS SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR ME SINCE IT DESIGNED MANY OF THE FOLLOWING SOCIAL CHANGES AND FASHION REVOLUTIONS.
EVER SINCE FINDING THIS TRUNK, I HAVE BECOME FASCINATED WITH UNIFORMS FROM ALL DIFFERENT PERIODS AND COUNTRIES.
