THE NEW YOUTH: BACKSTAGE AT CARVEN SS16

There’s a new girl in town. You might have recognized her with her high-waisted shorts showing off her skinny – yet healthy – long legs and her short-sleeved printed jumpers. She’s the new cool girl from the block, straight out of the imagination of Carven’s creative directors Alexis Martial and Adrien Caillaudaud. The Carven girl is the cool girl you want to be or, at least, be friends with. She exudes French style with her color blocking miniskirts with cutouts, or her striped « boyfriend » shirtdress with geometrical patterns. She knows how to be flirty – « a little bit of leg with my skirt, a little bit of skin under my see-through red jumper » – and she knows how to be strong – « never leave without my elongating, sleek, skinny trousers ». Modern and youthful, the Carven Spring-Summer 2016 collection represents everything Parisian style is all about.
