Chapter 8 : Apparat
« Apparat » [Fr, noun] : The dignified glow of a grand occasion
A true signature piece of the Maison, Apparat was conceived as a contemporary and distinctive alternative to the traditional formal shirt. Its high, gently rounded collar enhances the neckline, while Bourrienne’s iconic cuffs bring a touch of distinction to the sleeves.

SIGNATURE DETAILS
BOURRIENNE CUFFS
The Bourrienne cuff revisits the construction of historical shirt sleeves with its buttoned band closure. Modernized with a facing slit, it is enhanced by delicate gathers. The cuffs of DIVA, rather than being buttoned, are tied into soft ribbons — a graceful nod to femininity.
AJUSTED CUT
Our ajusted cut gently skims and highlights the waist without constricting it. We chose to maintain this close-to-the-body volume without darts, in order to preserve the purity of the garment.
THE EMBRODERIES
The Maison chooses to embroider its logo tone-on-tone, in white on white, as well as on the swallow detail. Similarly, the name of the model is embroidered inside the right cuff.
