On the eve on its 60th anniversary, Leonard Paris imagines a modern jungle – real or symbolic, urban or leafy, 3.0 or tangible. This collection ‘Digital Tropics’ rethinks flowers, part of the house’s DNA, in a modern manner, redefining them with a new sense of contemporaneity. The pieces unveil a sense of fluidity, between vaporous and sporty, organic and architectural. A varsity jacket, embroidered with honeycomb texture, is worn with the ease of housewear; a parka is reworked in holographic organza, dresses are cut out of pleated silk and contrasted by ribbed edges, bringing a sense of comfort to luxury. The Leonard woman is strengthened by her sensitivity. And she doesn’t have a minute to lose: Adventure awaits her.
