DELACROIX | Quilted Jacket with Light Antique Roses

A floral print, you always fear it might look a bit outdated!

Imagine large antique roses placed on a soft sage green, in the tones of a family tapestry, but tailored into a sharp and modern jacket. Stop imagining: this is the entire balance of the Claire.

• The green that changes everything
  On a white background, these roses would have made upholstery fabric. On this muted sage green, they become a color in their own right, subdued and refined.
• Large-scale flowers
  The pattern is broad and not repeated much, like a painting rather than wallpaper. It's this scale that gives the whole a contemporary look.
• A sharp cut
  Straight line, sharp shoulder, length below the hip: nothing gathered, nothing romantic in the construction. The shape contradicts the pattern, and that's what saves it.
• Mid-season warmth
  The lightweight padding is enough for cool mornings and quickly falling evenings, without the weight of a coat.
• The neutrals that accompany it
  Black, khaki, ecru, raw denim: the sage goes with them all. You don’t need to buy anything new to wear it.

Floral prints don’t age when the cut is young. That’s why this jacket doesn’t stay in the closet: it comes out as soon as the temperature drops, and it stays there.
