Les Incroyables
The children of the Revolution - "The Incredibles"
They were a self-depreciating dramatization, without being generous in coquetry.
"Les Incroyables" as a project-name remains true to its inspiration:
Clothing, which serves for self-portrayal and accentuates special elements.
Historical themes are taken up and staged in a new way.
Tender Powder-Clouds, emerald Misery-Hunters, sulfureous Mirabelle-Girls.
Our fashion picks up historical elements and always keeps a litte dressed up, but remains wearable.
Les Incroyables are the Designers Felix Weber and Dirk Seegmüller.
Dirk Seegmüller
is playful realist and fantasizing explorer.
Felix Weber
is rational daydreamer and phantastic developer.
Together we complete each other to the incredible project "Les Incroyables"
Other than that mentioned, we offer personal consultancy and individual custom-design.
"Clothing as signature of the soul" This is what we would like to explore with you.
History: Hippies of the Revolution
At
the beginning of the 19th Century the relief after the end of
Robespierre's "Terreur", which followed the French Revolution, was
expressed in this day's fashion.
Beautiful women wore dresses with plunging necklines which resembled
antique robes. People dressed (or, more precisely: UNdressed) in tulle,
gauze or transparent linen and displayed curves proudly.
Men, who called themselves "Incroyables", too attracted attention
through extravagant appearances. Their clothes' patterns were bold, and
they provoked with wild haircuts, obtrusive perfumes, huge cravats and
glasses.
Felix Weber:
The 'Incroyables' were the hippies of the
revolution. They extremely exaggerated their whole appearance and by
that made fun of themselves.
Some say they wanted to demonstrate that they, the bourgeoisie, were
actually the winner of the French Revolution. Others think that they
were mocking their own class.
The fashion and the spirit of these times is one of our most important
sources of inspiration - our first collection presents our
interpretation of this phase. We design clothes for the Incroyables and
Merveilleuses, the fashion-concious Provokateurs of today.
