CHRISTIAN L’ENFANT ROI SS15 collection explores the art of fencing and introduces l’Enfant Roi as a duelist. This form of elegant combat is in itself a juxtaposition of both harmony and chaos. The geometry created during an exchange is as poetic as it is deadly. SS15 explores this fine line by re-imagining the traditional fencing jacket, breeches and plastron into CHRISTIAN L’ENFANT ROI’s boyish universe. Reinterpreting these armors, by use of straps and technical finishings contrasted with loungewear done in natural textiles and relaxed boxy fits, further highlights the duality found in this prestigious sport.
