Before Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld were making waves, Jacques Doucet dressed the crème de la crème of the Belle Époque era. Yes, Sarah Bernhardt and Edith Wharton were on his client list! But, as the Roaring Twenties dawned and simpler styles like Chanel's timeless LBD took over, Doucet’s glamour faded into the background. Yet, today, Doucet’s name is echoing through the halls of fashion once again!
Olivier Garcé and Clio Dimofski have ventured into Doucet’s world of opulence with their latest furniture line, a seductive nod to the legendary designer. Debuting at Salon Art + Design at The Invisible Collection New York, their pieces embody Doucet’s spirit with a mix of matte oak and ceramic—think of the Gray Coffee Table's textures!
Doucet was the social butterfly of his time, dazzling with intricate embroidery and rare lace. His penchant for collecting art giants like Matisse lives on in Garcé and Dimofski's work. Feel the cubism vibes in their tables, and Doucet’s love for Picasso, too.
The sofa you didn’t know you needed till now, and the lights? Possibly inspired by Brâncuși’s sculptures.
So why the rekindled passion for Doucet’s aesthetics? According to Isabelle Dubern-Mallevays, it’s about embracing the rich cultural history behind these designs. Enthusiasts today are diving into this sea of storied elegance with open arms, as the Invisible Collection continues to enchant with Doucet’s legacy.
