Véronique Leroy isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel every season, and that’s part of her label’s appeal.
In her Paris studio, where she showed the collection with her two very protective dogs at her feet, the Belgian designer explained that not doing a runway show lets her focus on what she does best.
For fall, that meant a familiar balance of soft, blousy tops over slimmer bottoms, and a mix of light and heavier fabrics. She combined taffetas with felted wool in what she called a “loosely 1940s” palette of reds, oranges, and purple.
Tweed, wool and dry, crisp materials grounded the lineup, while silk and Japanese polyester taffetas allowed her to build shape without making clothes feel stiff. Looks were often monochrome, and waistlines were cut so they could be worn either high or low, paired with sculptural jewelry made of wood and aluminum.
