WANDA NYLON X LA REDOUTE EXCLUSIVE CAPSULE COLLECTION

This June, a capsule collection between La Redoute and French designer Wanda Nylon will be released on La Redoute website. Famous for its translucent trench, Wanda Nylon was launched in 2012 and quickly became one of the most praised independent labels in the Parisian fashion scene. The label notably gained full recognition with its first fashion show on the Paris Fashion Week schedule for the spring-summer 2016 season, as well as its nomination as a LVMH Prize semi-finalist that same year. Inspired by a retro-futurist universe from the 60s and the Anglo-Saxon fashion from the 90s mixed with sporty and fetishist references, the Wanda Nylon style is definitely something unseen until now. For this collaboration, Sylvette Lepers, responsible for the styling team at La Redoute, wanted a designer able to share common values such as creativity, talent and commitment. On the other hand, the collaboration had an emotional significance for Johanna Senyk, founder and creative director of Wanda Nylon, who used to flip through the pages of La Redoute catalogues growing up as a teenager in France. At the same time, this capsule collection is also a way to democratize the Wanda Nylon style and make it accessible for every woman. The capsule collection will consist in re-editions of some of the label’s iconic pieces such as the opaque translucent rain-trench, vinyl shirt and trousers, a sleeveless tuxedo dress with tailored jacket. The collection will be available from mid June on La Redoute’s website for purchase.
