SEASON REPORT
Autumn-Winter 23-24
Autumn-Winter 23-24 gravitates towards strong choices that favour radical, personal fashion approaches - an invitation to navigate between discretion and extravagance. The season takes a frugal creative approach, rich in ideas yet economical in means, which puts good sense back in the forefront of product design and drives technological and aesthetic innovations. The high quality of the season's materials lays the groundwork for both a soberly opulent luxury - desirably discreet, powerfully authentic and an overflowing expressivity, where each material's differences and singularities are underlined, with highly visible, deliberately eloquent volumes. Expressive tactility, fresh visuals and ground-breaking colorations are generated by an experimental design process inspired by mutating materials, calling to mind an organic laboratory. Vestiges and remains are re-interpreted in a contemporary manner, triggering irreverent appropriations and aesthetic yet freely anachronistic fusions. References to antiquity and classicism are a fertile vein of creativity, drawing on historical cultures, without becoming mired in clichés. And for a truly positive projection into the future, the AW 23-24 season puts environmental impact at the fore of each creative endeavour, with sustainability and outstanding know-how at the heart of the design process.

THE COLORS OF AUTUMN-WINTER 23-24 One of Première Vision’s truly distinctive features is its unique, historic connection with the textile, leather and accessories industry. The in-house fashion team works across the globe with experts in all these fields to share and exchange information about the latest innovations and major trends. The season’s highlights and the creation of the season’s color ranges derive from these discussions, always grounded in industry realities. The Autumn-Winter 23-24 color range reveals three strong choices, with flavorful, dissonant or soothing shades, exploring gradations to promote radical and personal fashion approaches, and navigating between discretion and extravagance.
Experimental and artisanal colors evoke mutating natural materials – played in a cheerful palette and sweet and savory combinations – conveying a provocatively soft romanticism. Colors conjure up almost sickly-sweet culinary ingredients, with an ambiguous tenderness and an energizing, vitamin-boosted luminosity. A certain attraction for bad taste, with caustic colorways derived from unusual recyclings, found objects, sensitive decompositions and even organic fermentation. Colors reference nature in a less pastoral vein, as if processed and intensified in a test-kitchen. Dyes are innovatively derived from the food industry – such as pigments based on beer. 6

Autumn-Winter 23-24 highlights the versatility of greys in their multiple nuances, at once essential and maximalist. These colorful, greenish, warm and depigmented greys step to the fore in quiet and fascinating, deep or light neutrals, in metallic or matt versions. A chromatic restraint that amplifies the beauty of materials and knowhows, for discretion that elevates anonymity to the level of utmost originality. For truly de-saturated excess, a strictly maximum approach targeting impactful luxury, and minimalist drama. Lastly, championing multiple realities and calls for differentiation and readability, colors worked in cadence and decadence generate dissonant tensions between the pigmentary power of darks, the sassy radiance of pales and the elaborate intensity of brights. A utilitarian radicality, a seductively raw roughness and a fully assumed futility collide in counterpoint. Coming from the upcycling trend, combinations of materials and references are free and spontaneous, in a mix & match vein, highlighted by chromatic clashes. To catch the eye, blends seek a singular, radical effect, with exacerbated textures and sublimated imperfections. > AW 23-24 Color range

The film of the AW 23-24 season takes a chromatic dive into the exclusive Première Vision color range. The range is made up of three distinct lines, each conveying complementary messages.
> DECODINGS > FASHION SEMINARS
The first line evokes the experimental and artisanal. It’s a joyful palette, reflecting natural materials in a state of mutation, the idea of molecular fermentation, of perishables turning into gritty, offbeat expressions. Colors conjure up almost sickening culinary ingredients – sweet jellies and molasses, the texture of raw eggs, fruit pulps and indecent sausages – with an ambiguous tenderness and a zingy, energizing luminosity. In search of new hues derived from recyclings, the line gives colors a second life brimming with intensity. Textural experimentations expressed through kraft paper, resins and cements, invigorated by foliage with a hi-tech glow and supercharged halos. The central line is both essential and maximalist, communicating an innovative, opulent sobriety. It speaks to a new luxury marked by easy warmth and anonymity tinged with eccentricitý, the right to be invisible, and chromatic moderation.

Shades are worked around greenish and grayish neutrals, in addition to an extreme whiteness in textures, silvery metallics, mirror materials and the supple, shifting look of mercury. This line features a focus on metal, and research into aluminum, mirror paper and clear celluloid. Colors evoke chrome, oysters, cellophane, oil, rocks and minerals, wax, milk or plaster. The third line is all about cadence, and decadence, embracing new dark fantasies and claiming the existence of multiple realities. Darks serve as contrasts, to heighten the visibilitý and nature of lighter shades, and amp-up the power of lively, pleasantly dissonant intrusions. Metallic gleams, textured digital aspects, a feeling of substance and movement. Plant shades, filters, laser beams, foams and backlit flowers, conveyed as pictorial references and iPad screens, expressed as iridescent, smoky, colorful materials, glittery handles and odd froths.
