Carven’s characteristic minimalism comes with a sense of freedom and individuality, the same that imprints the clothes with a unique identity, creativity and self-expression.

Revealed at the original house of Carven in the heart of Paris, this collection was inspired by the relationship between women and their wardrobes. Intimacy, camaraderie, but most of all, a deep understanding of women’s bodies and their needs are at the centre of this collection, where each piece is a testament to the brand’s construction prowess.

For this collection, Louise Trotter, the creative director, wanted to highlight the process of making garments as the foundation of the brand’s heritage. This is why the show took place at the mythical Rond Point des Champs-Élysées, the same place where Madame Carven started designing in 1945 and where all the collections are conceived to this day.

The collection was a parade of beautifully constructed pieces and sumptuous fabrics. Volume and fluidity were key visual elements, providing each garment with its own life and movement. Creating an amalgam of shapes that were both architectural and structural, the looks played with proportions while respecting the natural curves of women’s anatomy.

Elegant, timeless, and modern is the wardrobe imagined for the Carven woman—one where the subtle lines and simplicity of long coats and tailored pants merge with the intricate details of draped dresses, creating a synergy where design meets avant-garde technique. A monochromatic colour palette, represented by greys, whites, creams, and blacks, gives versatility to the pieces. Their fluidity and wearability help to blur the lines between day and night looks.
