Marie Saint Pierre draws profound inspiration from the enchanting British countryside landscapes and the serene beauty of English gardens. This collection is a harmonious blend of timeless elegance and modern sophistication, reflecting the picturesque charm and rustic allure of these iconic settings. The colours and textures are meticulously chosen to mirror the vibrant hues and intricate details found in nature, creating garments that tell a story of refined luxury and natural beauty.
Marie has crafted the perfect complement to our Fall 2024 collection: the espresso martini. This chic and invigorating cocktail is ideal for the back-to-school season, providing an extra kick to help you transition smoothly into the busy months ahead. The rich, dark tones of the espresso martini aesthetically align with the fall palette, enhancing the collection's overall theme and offering a cozy yet stylish beverage for cooler weather. Oxford emerges as her destination of choice, seamlessly tying into the collection's academic and equestrian vibe. The historic city, with its renowned university and stunning landscapes, embodies the intellectual and refined spirit that permeates the collection. The equestrian influence adds a touch of aristocratic charm, creating a sophisticated yet approachable aesthetic.
Among the standout pieces in the collection, Hiram holds a special place in Marie’s heart. This versatile blouse, crafted from lightweight and easy-to-shape taffeta fabric, exemplifies the balance of form and function. The crisp print on the taffeta creates a bold statement, whether worn as an all-over printed look or paired with more neutral pieces. Hiram’s adaptability makes it a perfect addition to any wardrobe, offering endless styling possibilities that can transition effortlessly from day to night.
Currently, she is reading "Thicker than Water: a Memoir" by Kerry Washington. Marie finds Washington’s journey incredibly interesting and insightful. The memoir’s exploration of identity, family, and resilience is inspiring and Kerry Washington’s strength and grace serve as a source of inspiration, enriching Marie’s vision for the collection and underscoring the themes of elegance and empowerment.
Whether you’re drawn to the luxurious textures or the vibrant prints, each garment tells a story of timeless beauty and modern grace, making this collection a must-have for the discerning fashion enthusiast.
