Foam — The Creation
Some memories are ageless. The foam in the bathtub — espuma in Italian — those light, white bubbles that you shaped with your child's hands, that floated away, that burst silently.
A material that is almost nothing, yet occupies all the space. Espuma was born from that memory: lightness as a way of life.
The chosen stitch is an openwork geometric pattern — transparent, structured, precise. Each motif interlocks with the next with a regularity that requires constant attention.
The result is airy without being fragile, open without being bare. Light passes through the piece as it passes through foam — revealing it without dissolving it.
The shoulders are bare.
The short sleeves fall with a romantic softness that creates a silhouette that is both sensual and restrained.
Then the ribbed borders at the sleeves and waist sign off the piece — this precise couture finish, worked in tight rib stitch, which contrasts with the openwork of the body and gives it its framework.
The bright natural beige of Espuma is that of raw cotton, before dyeing — warm, soft, belonging to all seasons and matching everything.
From jeans to high-waisted trousers, from the city to the terrace, Espuma doesn't ask questions. It simply floats.
Entirely hand-crocheted in my French workshop.
