Aje SS27 'Unfurled' at the Collège des Bernardins: Adrian Norris and Edwina Forest on Australia's native flowers, banksia, bottlebrush, grevillea; imagery with artist Vicki Lee; floral adornments, beaded fringing, petal appliqué
Aje showed at 17:30 on Tuesday 6 October, at the Collège des Bernardins on rue de Poissy, the same building Acne Studios used on 30 September. The house describes the collection as following the first stages of a bloom. The house also lists denim and printed vegan leather with raw-edged hems, which it ties to the Australian coastline and the outback.
