In 1654, Queen Christina of Sweden abdicated and left Stockholm for Rome after a long journey across Europe lasting a year and a half. This decision was both a liberation and a sacrifice, a source of immense excitement and unspeakable torment.

Inspired by her story, we have imagined a versatile, minimalist, elegant and functional travel outfit, at the crossroads of cultures, eras and genres, for a powerful woman conquering her own existence.

The silhouette consists of a belted kimono in viscose crepe lined with silk, featuring tailored sleeves. A viscose jacquard shirt, reminiscent of royal motifs, completes the look. Wide-legged trousers in the same fabric as the kimono, reinforced with nylon parachute appliqués, complete the ensemble. Finally, a nylon and silk bag with technical details, worn like half-armor, structures the outfit.

"Courtiers must be dressed in such a way that they can always use their swords and horses without hindrance."
