"Run To Fashion" Manifesto
Welcome to the fusion world of our Run To Fashion show, where elegance meets performance. In honour of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, we invite you to join us for a unique experience that celebrates the synergy between fashion and sport.
Over time, fashion and sport have successfully joined forces. Sportswear has become an integral part of everyday life, no longer just for sport, but a style in its own right. Tracksuits are now the trend and sneakers have become objects of desire.
In our minds, ‘fashion and sport’ inevitably conjures up Virgil Abloh, the Off-White designer who successfully combined urban culture with contemporary luxury. The brand has played a key role in redefining the fashion landscape by introducing elements of streetwear culture to the world of luxury.
And now it’s our turn to unveil our interpretation of the union between fashion and sport at our annual fashion show, “Run To Fashion”.
Run To Fashion: The collections presented

HOUSE OF RENAISSANCE
The fusion of two distinct worlds, the aesthetic and sports world brought together through Vogue dance. A reminder of sports ideologies of the 20th century, when more attention was paid to aesthetics than comfort (corsets), with dance as a symbol of liberation. Through Voguing, a symbol of liberating minorities (mainly drag and trans-African and trans-Latino people in reaction to white racism) through dance, we use the sports ideology of the 20th century, where aesthetics were more important than comfort, and Voguing to create a capsule at the core of the movement, while retaining certain codes from another era.

SORORITY SWANS
A world where grace flows through life, where swans gather and perform art with the corpulence of their wings. At the water’s edge, swans sing and dance to celebrate the beauty they have been given.
As elegant as lace, as precious as pearls, as passionate as ballet, as light as a tutu, swans fulfil this art form through a powerful and infinite bond – sisterhood: Sorority.

Our capsule embodies the daring encounter where speed meets tradition and technology meets craftsmanship to create a harmonious synergy.

RACKET ELEGANCE
With our capsule, we wanted to highlight the traditional outfits of racket sports such as golf and tennis and then offer a more unstructured, modern and feminine take on these styles.
Paying tribute to outfits worn by the great tennis and golf players of the time, we bring you two designs featuring the lines and cuts of the 60s.
So we’ve taken inspiration from these outfits to bring you a new one.

OVERLYMPIQUE
In the bustling city of Paris, five athletes were preparing for the ultimate pinnacle of their careers: the Olympic Games. There was a one-legged runner determined to defy all expectations, a baseball player with a swing as powerful as her determination, an agile and strategic basketball player, a fast, technically skilful female footballer, and finally, a fearless and daring Formula 1 driver.
On the day of the final, the excitement was at its peak as the champions gathered to face their opponents. The runner stood on the start line, his heart pounding in his chest. Despite the doubts and obstacles, he had worked hard to get where he was. With each stride, he proved that determination could overcome any difficulty. When he crossed the finishing line, a wave of emotion swept over him, knowing that he had inspired millions of people around the world.
The baseball player stood at home plate, her gaze focused as she waited for the opposing pitcher to throw. With a powerful swing, she hit the ball, sending it flying into the stands. When she reached the full circuit, she knew she had made history in women’s baseball. The basketball player dribbled deftly between opponents, every move calculated to showcase his talent and intelligence on the court. When the final buzzer sounded, he raised his arms in victory, knowing that he had led his team to Olympic glory. The footballer ran onto the pitch with dazzling agility and speed, her feet dancing around the defenders. When she shot at goal, the ball skimmed the net, ensuring her team’s victory and their place in the history of women’s football.
Finally, the driver slid into his racing car, the engine roaring with anticipation. At every bend, he pushed back the limits of speed and precision, crossing the finish line with an overwhelming lead. On the podium, he raised the trophy, knowing that he had become a racing legend. And so our athletes mounted the podium, their gold medals glittering around their necks. They were more than Olympic champions; they were living examples of courage, perseverance and unshakeable determination.

DARK SNOW
Once upon a time, in the snowy peaks of a remote valley, a legend unfolded with every descent. This is the story of Dark Snow, a unique outfit created to brave the steep slopes of snowboarding and conquer the adventurous spirit of intrepid riders.
At the heart of this adventure is my mission to fuse bold style with the ultimate in functionality. My inspiration comes from the Northern Lights dancing in the night sky, illuminating the immaculate snow with mystical hues. These iridescent glows are the perfect backdrop for the birth of “Dark Snow”.
The highlight of this outfit is the accessories. Snowboard goggles that reflect the changing lights of the mountain while protecting the rider’s eyes from glare. But the iconic accessory is the snowboard itself, a work of art carving into the snow. Every detail of the board embodies the perfect fusion of performance and aesthetics. The deep black base of the board evokes the winter night, while luminescent patterns stretch out like the northern lights. “Dark Snow” is much more than just a snowboard outfit.
It’s an ode to the intrepid spirit, to the symbiosis between man and mountain, and to the pure magic that is born when adventure meets style. Every detail of this creation is a celebration of the harmony between wild nature and human daring, embodying the indomitable spirit of those who dare to defy the snowy peaks.

SWING AND STRIKE
In Paris in springtime, the streets are alive with passion that intertwines like the lines of a tennis court. This is where MAYSSEM and ENZO, two ambitious young fashion designers, found inspiration for their new collection.
Fascinated by the elegance and power of tennis players, they decided to merge the world of sport and fashion through a series of unique designs.
Drawing on the history of tennis, they have been inspired by classic outfits from the 70s, reinterpreting them with a modern twist. Lightweight, flowing garments are adorned with details reminiscent of rackets and balls, while shorts and polo shirts are revisited with innovative cuts in technical fabrics.
