FW26 Selenite
Selenite as a return to the hand. Mathilde Hiron’s most artisanal collection to date, where every piece bears the imprint of its making. Tweed woven, cut and reassembled into a coat, bags, shorts, scarves, no two alike. Silk and wool felted with patient incrustations. In a season that invites inwardness, Selenite finds its center in the quiet of craft: the hand at work, unhurried, rooted.
Pieces that belong to a drawn world. Fantastical, oneiric, as though a drawing decided to come to life. And some did: a new hand-drawn textile ink technique brings freehand illustration directly onto tights and second-skin tops, blurring the line between sketch and garment. The palette runs warm and autumnal. Flower camouflage, falling leaves, raw vegetal tones, like dressing in the colors of the undergrowth.
As the light thins, the palette shifts. Pearlescent blues, cold violets, shell-like iridescence, tones that seem to surface from somewhere deep and still. The ceramic trinket necklace, a Mathilde Hiron signature, is revisited in natural khaki and aquatic blues. The magic of the kiln: each firing a small miracle, each piece one of a kind.
