The FW23 season brings us closer to Paris, to an architect's villa built in Versailles in the 1960s by Claude Parent, not far from the Maison de Garche where Madame Khanh and her husband Quasar, an avant-garde designer and creator of the Aerospace movement, lived. In this chic western Parisian setting, nature and architecture meet with elegance, without ornamentation, like an ideal vision of a modern and discreet bourgeoisie.

For its Fall-Winter 2023 campaign, Emmanuelle Khanh offers a style always in search of movement, fluidity, and accomplished femininity. The House tells the story of a living space, where contemplative time for oneself unfolds, suspended in an oblique architecture. An aesthetic and symbolic nod to its creator.

“I wanted to pay homage to archival images of Madame Khanh in her daily life, oscillating between carefully staged scenes and immortalized moments. A disparate collection of silver halide photographs and period press articles, set against an architectural backdrop that becomes a subject in its own right. The Emmanuelle Khanh art de vivre is not just a look, but a way of being and inhabiting space.” – Eva Gaumé, Artistic Director.

The collection is revealed through a series of portraits with sleek silhouettes. The rich, lacquered colors contrast with the omnipresent bare concrete, a symbol of modernity from another era and yet still contemporary.

Directed by James Tennessee Briandt, VILLA OBLIQUE is part of an ongoing artistic collaboration highlighting the new creative momentum of the Emmanuelle Khanh House with Joan and Nyajuok, the muses of this season.
