Design Showcase: Parisian glamour

MISIA LUXURY IN THE GLAMOROUS HEART OF PARIS

Lovers of the finest style and taste are invited to pay a visit to the heart of one of Paris’s most iconic settings: the Marais. It is the birthplace of the capital, an architectural gem filled with tales and stories. Exquisite silks billow at the windows of the Hôtel de Sully and plush velvets with hexagonal or diamond patterns linger on the chaise-longues of private mansions. Perrotin, Templon, the most famous Parisian art galleries, are nestled here, showcasing their abstract, striking and colourful forms. The perfect inspiration, therefore, for “Place des Vosges”, a bold, glamorous and refined collection that reflects the Misia brand’s Parisian origins. A wonderful chance to savour an artistic and emotional moment, and a new journey into the glamorous soul of luxury fabrics, exquisite colours, fine materials and unusual textures. The themed collection takes its name from the former Place Royale in Paris, nerve centre of the Marais. Its 36 mansions are historic monuments (private houses once home to the upper classes and high-ranking royal officials), and today they provide the opportunity to stroll along historic arcades, with their art galleries, luxurious cafés and five-star hotels including The Ritz. For 2023, “Place des Vosges” and the textures collection “Le Marais Secret” have been created with joint inspiration, without straying from the brand’s favoured theme of “travel”. Misia says it is “embarking on a stationary journey, one that is both symbolic and introspective, returning to its glamorous, refined and sophisticated origins, but always with the same commitment to customers: to accurately portray French-style elegance”. This launch is further complemented by a textures collection, “Laine Lin Textures”, in which refined weaves and bouclette fabrics are produced using natural, fine materials that are both soft and generous; and an outdoor collection, “Estival”, featuring luxurious fabrics that are designed to be taken from inside to outside to meet the requirements of both professional and private clients.
