SPRING SUMMER 24

After the voyage of initiation offered by the [INDISTINCT CHATTER] collection, which took us on a journey of discovery through icy, mountainous landscapes, Laura Gauthier Petit, founder and artistic director of Fête Impériale, continues this quest for initiation, this time drawing her inspiration from the scorching desert landscapes of Namibia. The Blue Sand spring-summer 2024 collection, with its flagship Pelican Bay print, features the striking contrast of dunes meeting the ocean, between opposing materials and hues, and perceptions too. For while sand echoes a certain notion of temporality, like an hourglass ticking away the seconds, water is a vivid, whole element, embodying rebirth and the future. Through this collection, the journey initiated by Fête Impériale in the previous season seems to find its answers, between the reconciliation of paradoxes and the liberation of a chic anti-conformism. More than ever, clothing assumes its emancipating role, both protective and empowering, fostering the expression of a creative, uninhibited vision of the world.
