THE SPRING-SUMMER 17 SEASON:
AN ODE TO BEAUTY ON
THE PREMIÈRE VISION LEATHER TRENDS GALLERY
‘Beauty, my beautiful concern...’ François de Malherbe
This beautiful line from François de Malherbe, chosen as the epigraph of the Spring-Summer 17
season at Première Vision Leather, portrays worry as a positive value and underlines the fragility
and instability of beauty.
The flower, that fragile, ephemeral and perfect incarnation of Beauty, will be the link between the
four contradictory and complementary Beauties showcased on the Première Vision Leather Trends
Gallery.

‘Do you come from Heaven or rise from the
abyss,’ Charles Baudelaire
Magnificent flowers, overly-radiant, powerful
fragrances, wild and mystical romanticism.
Created by the spirit world, under shamanic
influence, colours and materials become
one, violent and bewitching.
Materials are rich and swollen with sap,
gleaming and voluminous. Materials are wild
and full. Summer suede, bird feathers, matt
reptiles, wrinkled buffalo.
Deep colours. Raw red, crushed red, burnt
brown, solarized white, mediumistic or
shamanic black.

SUBSIDIARY BEAUTY
‘True beauty is so particular, so new, that we
are unable to recognize it.’ Marcel Proust
A kitsch delicacy evocative of Jacques Tati.
The 1950s and 1970s combine, creating a
borderline aesthetic. A joyfully shabbiness,
where plastic and PVC are hyper-luxurious,
where that crumpled vinyl of an indefinable
colour is in fact dipped lamb...

CONVULSIVE BEAUTY
‘Beauty will be convulsive or will not be at all’
André Breton
Shattered, deformed, shaken, mistreated,
lacerated materials.
Colours that go against the grain, dissonant,
paradoxical, chaotic: wonky yellow, raucous
pink, fighting green, transgender blue.
Gilda, La milagrossa © Gisela Volà / Cooperativa Sub
Upsetting, malevolent, frightening flowers.
A deconstructed, aggressive, iconoclastic,
sleazy, ambiguous, imperfect beauty.

PRECARIOUS BEAUTY
Flowers exist in suspended animation, a
sublime moment between magnificence
and disappearance. An evanescent,
unstable beauty, ready to disappear in a
cloud of sand. It brings to mind the naive
primitives of Miquel Barcelò, the outlines
of the flowers drawn in charcoal, and the
impossible bouquets of Herman De Vries.
Materials are crumbly, unstable, soft to the
touch or slightly granular, sandy.
We see glimpses of fragile, transparent
colours, in suspension. Colours of tanned
skin, of transparent water, of stones polished
by the desert winds.

FOR PREMIÈRE VISION LEATHER THE OLFACTIVE DUO FROM
FLAIR ARE PUTTING BEAUTY IN A BOTTLE
The flowers of the season turn our heads. They intoxicate us with their succulent and aggressive,
delicate and powerful fragrances.
Amélie Bourgeois and Anne-Sophie Behaghel, the two magician-perfumers of the Flair perfume
house, have taken their corolla as inspiration.
We find them at the entrance to the show, nestled in their “Olfactory Garden”, surrounded by
fragrant giant paper flowers.
They have composed 4 exclusive fragrances for Première Vision Leather illustrating the four Beauties,
muses for the themes of the Spring-Summer 17 season.
Brooding Beauty
Fatal alliance of Jasmine and Tuberose. The addictive
attraction of intoxicating Ylang-ylang and enchanting
Patchouli.
Convulsive Beauty
Dangerous liaison between peppery Elemi, inflamed by
Rose oxide, by the violence of Cade and Castoreum.
Subsidiary Beauty
Artificial encounter between common lilac and sticky
Vinyl, thwarted by sweet almond oil and bitter almond.
Precarious Beauty
The acid freshness of Mandarin caressed by the
innocence of Orange Flower and the woody sensuality
of Ambroxan.
Amélie Bourgeois and Anne-Sophie Behaghel, an olfactory
duo with Flair!
At the head of the niche perfume design studio, Flair, Amélie
Bourgeois and Anne-Sophie Behaghel tell fragrant tales
using raw materials and olfactory styles. The 3,000 references
of their fragrance bank can be used to capture the perfume
of a word, a colour, a sensation or a childhood memory.
From these combinations, a unique perfume is born.

THE EXPERIMENTAL SPACE “SOUND BOX” REVERBERATES
THE VIBRATIONS EMITTED BY THE TRENDS OF THE MOMENT
For its second edition, Sound Box will be producing new vibrations at the heart of Première Vision
Leather echoing the concept of this season’s Trends Gallery ‘Beauty, my beautiful concern’.
Artists and designers will take turns to reveal their vision of the “instability of beauty”, their universe
and their perspective through words, images and sounds. The creator Maroussia Rebecq tells
us how to approach fashion in a completely new way. In her workshop, “the VW Factory,” the
designer Victoria Wilmotte explains the importance of making her own prototypes. Surrounded by
his works in his studio, the painter Errò talks about his vision of beauty. The dancer-choreographer
Mié Coquempot muses out loud while dancing to the silent score of the Art of Fugue by Bach. And
the make-up and mixed media artist Annabelle Petit demonstrates and comments her vision of
make-up and the beauty of imperfection.
