WATER LILY

By instinct or by inclination, all the arts, all the other creatives intrigue her, delight her, and provide her with bubbles of oxygen.

Renewing the artistic adventure is a freedom that Florence Nérisson has granted herself alongside Artist. The question of trust quickly settled in 2021 around a first collection "Botania."

She did not hesitate to reiterate the excitement of a new horizon given to her canvas "My Water Lilies." Another luminous and stimulating encounter with the Art-à-Porter brand to vary the supports, multiply the materials, and push the boundaries of beauty.

From her adolescence, Florence has retained a taste for fashion. A colorist at heart, a common thread that elevates the painter to the Artist brand, she navigates the subtlety of colors and brushes against the mastery required by the chromatic palette.

Letting her painting become clothing particularly touches her. For a long time, she had wanted that. To entrust her work and see what comes.

One day, at Monoprix, she encounters a woman in a long dress whose print she recognizes from the Botonia theme, stemming from her painting at the time of that first encounter. They are as unsettled by each other in this impromptu meeting.

At that moment, she truly felt she had succeeded in inspiring fashion designers.

His brushes and gestures revitalize color and texture. His abundant and untamed work guides the gaze and sensations along the delicate paths of his vibrant abstraction. A liberated incursion free from any norm into sparkle and movement. Through his light passages, textured layers, and scattered drips, the artist splashes his background until it shimmers.

The famous Impressionist Claude Monet means a lot in her life. Creator of an extraordinary garden, he managed to give Giverny a timeless modernity.

Florence Nérisson pays tribute to it and traces in her own way an aquatic flora and now universal water lilies.

Upon closer inspection of the inspiring work behind the Artist collection "Nymphéa," the subdued tones stray from their original purpose. They become lively and, so mischievous, they let loose.

They open up and explode in small, deceptively discreet touches. The overall floral aspect blends, its obviousness fades in the light of emotion, strikingly evident.

Florence often masks areas to check their necessity. She tests. The small bursts, even modest ones, circulate the canvas. She is very attentive to ensure that there is no boredom anywhere, without falling into overload. In this story, if she had removed the slightest red spot, the painting would no longer have worked.

Under the charm of this colorful and composite atmosphere, the next Artist wardrobe sings the colors of summer. The originality of the summer season is expressed in its vibrant fabrics of patterns and light, in the care given to details such as personalized buttons.

The prints convey a solar energy expressed in 8 models bursting with femininity. The cardigan is worn in a twin-set with the 5 tops to choose from with or without sleeves, in knit or in woven fabric.

The Artist touch is embodied in the generous offering of 2 dresses, pieces that have become rare to find in the clothing market.

The brand does not hesitate to offer you the choice of one that is quite short, also conceivable as a tunic over the plain pants. The other, rather long, flares at the legs in a completely different spirit.

At the heart of this subtle and multicolored exuberance, a suit jacket/pants exudes its fluidity and promises its ease. In a predominantly lyocell elastane fabric, the satin passion red undoubtedly gives off a half-chic half-casual look.

On the occasion of this session, Florence Nérisson delivers a message to all the co-producers of Artist:

« I know that talking about emotion may seem outdated today. But it brings me joy when people tell me they are touched and that they enter the painting. I would like the Nymphéa collection to bring them the lightness of summer, for them to feel like women, joyful thanks to the colors, and that we have contributed a little to their happiness.”

To stage this wardrobe, the Artist team went to the heights of Marrakech in Morocco, by Lake Takerkoust. To reach the village and its lake, the landscapes wind from the gates of the Agafay desert to the peaks of the Atlas.

All the panoramas follow one another and offer an unparalleled change of scenery. The filming took place in this refreshing bubble to project you by the pool, to imagine you on vacation, to dream you in the ideal outfit to shine.
