"This collection stems from a personal experience linked to the practice of two sports: classical and contemporary dance, and downhill mountain biking.
Downhill is a sport of speed and risk-taking. It involves descending rough trails, between rocks and jumps, while wearing protective gear such as chest protectors, back protectors, knee pads, elbow pads, etc. It is an intense practice, still today often associated with a masculine environment, both in its practice and in its representation.
Dance, on the other hand, offers a different way of moving, but also of developing control and strength. From classical to contemporary, it puts the body into action and expression, much like downhill.
These two practices have been spaces of emancipation. They have allowed me to question certain gender-based expectations and to experience the body differently.
Through this collection, the aim is to represent women in action and in situations of risk-taking. Protective gear and dance-inspired garments come together to create silhouettes designed for movement, with fluid cuts, high-performance materials, vivid colors, and graphic references drawn from downhill.
