Collection Description

“La simplicité est la clé de toute véritable élégance «  -Coco Chanel

« Soigné » is a French word meaning carefully and elegantly done, operated, or designed. Elegance can be interpreted differently by each individual. Her interpretation of elegance was virtue of emptiness which leads to minimalism. Ever since she started to be in the fashion field, she seeks for minimalism. The Soigné is inspired by the quote from Coco Chanel “Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.” The collection has masculine silhouettes and shows the image of the independent and strong but elegant women.
