DELACROIX | Quilted Floral Watercolor Jacket Lucie

So many colors on a single piece, you think it will be unbearable!

Imagine instead a painting: flowers painted in watercolor, fuchsia, turquoise, aquamarine, blending into each other against a very light background. Stop imagining: the Lucie is a work of art before it is a print.

• Blended colors
  No shade stops abruptly: pinks glide into purples, turquoise into greens. It is these soft transitions that make the whole harmonious rather than garish.
• A light background
  The pearl gray that carries the pattern calms the whole piece and allows the flowers to breathe. Without it, the jacket would be saturated; with it, it is luminous.
• A single strong piece
  Worn over black or solid gray, it becomes the entire outfit. This is the simplest way to wear a lot of color: to put it in just one place.
• Quilted comfort
  The fine padding protects from the chill without weighing down the shoulders or restricting the arms. You forget you’re wearing it.
• Dark finishes
  The anthracite piping frames the edges and structures this abundance. It is the frame of the painting.

Color is only unbearable when it is everywhere at once. Concentrated on a single jacket, it becomes a signature — the one you’ll be asked to wear again.
