With this collection and its Mediterranean accents, I wanted to pay homage to the glamorous, sexy elegance of the 60s and 70s. I love the idea of inspiring women who become mythical through their flamboyant lifestyles. Solar is the adjective that defines them.

GEORG LUX Creative director

For next summer, the LEONARD woman has jetted off for Greece. Like a sea goddess, she re-enacts the golden age of the 60s and 70s, when jet-setters traveled to party in spectacular locations. The slender silhouette is both fluid and structured, graphic and pure. Whether drawn from the archives or created for this collection, the prints emphasize this vestal-like wardrobe, revealing ultra-glamorous architectural looks. The result is a collection that shapes the personalities of these women, who are as much a part of the Maison LEONARDs history as the goddesses were of Greek history.

With these pieces, one is always ready for extraordinary moments, like an evening spent in the ruins of a Doric temple.

INSPIRATIONS This season, a somewhat forgotten film caught the eye of the Creative Director: Joseph Lausays Boom! (1968), starring Elisabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Signed by Tennessee Williams, the screenplay follows the fascinating journey of an eccentric woman, inevitably mythical, in a jewel-like setting overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in overwhelming light.

STAR MODELS Many have Hellenic references, like the draped Klein blue halter dress embellished with a deep blue ceramic piece. Draped mini dresses with a nereid feel are also part of the journey. The kaftan remains an essential in LEONARDs collections, while oversized mens shirts make their debut this season, and the star of the show is the structured mini suit embroidered with mosaic-style sequins. In terms of 60s influences, the structured mini coat is reversible.

MATERIALS Cotton jacquard, cotton veil, classic jersey, printed denim, terrycloth and, of course, chiffon for floating dresses.

DETAILS Ceramic pieces lend a Hellenic accent to dresses and belts. Sixties-style organza and jersey kerchiefs on the head, as worn by Liz Taylor in Boom!. The Maisons logo takes on Greek accents, mimicking temple friezes.

COLORS Colors reminiscent of the Mediterranean, with azure blue and white in majesty. These colors often cover the entire silhouette. An intense black also reveals the colors of summer. Shades of terracotta orange and pink make a strong statement.

PRINTS The poppy is the flower of the season. Taken from the archives of the 60s, it has been rethought and adapted as an all-over, but also placed in embroidery. It blooms notably on a long black dress. Orchids, LEONARDs star flower, blend with Greek motifs.
