TROUSERS/CULOTTES ORLANDO

The trousers/culottes ORLANDO offer a cool and chic silhouette. Flowy and loose, this wide model is worn  at the waist. It offers optimal comfort thanks to the knife pleats at the waist.

 Paired with sneakers, ORLANDO will have a trendy urban look, that is more masculine. A contrario, paired with high-heels and a nice blouse, it will be the epitome of femininity and elegance…

The choice of fabric is of paramount importance:  fabrics with a nice drape are preferable!

ORLANDO takes its name after its silhouette that is both feminine and masculine. As is Virginia Woolf’s main character…
