For this collection, Annabelle Fleury draws her inspiration from the variety and diversity of waves. Waves can be calm, deafening or chopped, depending on the wind and the sea bed typology, and thus have different forms that can either be undulating, hollow, curved or flat. The designer tried to reproduce the undulating forms of waves on her garments. The whole collection is decorated with drapes which come in a variety of forms on the dresses. The drapes, when falling, create ribbed shapes that recall the oscillating motion of the waves.
The garments of this collection are adorned with a play of twists on the front of dresses, on straps, or on a top, thereby recalling the crest of a wave crushing or surging on cliffs.
