A whisper of effortless refinement that transcends seasons—for the collectors of meaning
The Double-Layered Silk Top isn’t merely worn; it inhabits the body like a second skin. Marc Le Bihan’s design philosophy—where couture meets the ease of a lived-in favourite—culminates in this piece. Imagine the quiet intensity of an Agnes Martin painting: minimalism that reveals its depth only upon closer inspection.
Olive—not the predictable khaki of utility, but the complex green-gold of ancient olive wood, polished by time. A colour that refuses to be categorised.
A woman leans against a sun-washed stucco wall in an unnamed Mediterranean village. She wears the Double Silk Top, its crinkled texture rippling like water under twilight. The round neckline frames collarbones; the V-back hints at undone elegance. The asymmetric hem dances with her movement. Not flounce, but fluid arithmetic. Paired with nothing but ivory linen trousers and salt-bleached sandals, she embodies the art of less as more.
The silence around her feels deliberate.
The alchemy of a couture soul: not spring, not summer—but forever silk
Cut from hand-dyed pongé silk, this top celebrates the poetry of human touch:
- Structure and fluidity: Tailored to skim the body, yet its double layer lends weightless dimension.
- Precision and spontaneity: The handkerchief hem swings with a dancer’s cadence. The crinkles? Pressed by human hands, not machines—they’re textural annotations, softening with wear like a beloved book’s spine.
- Olive’s quiet drama: Neither loud nor shy, it’s the hue of tarnished Venetian mirrors. Sun-bleached herbarium specimens. The patina on a sculptor’s bronze tools.
The Double-Layered Silk Top: Wear it like you’ve always owned it
This isn’t a top meant to be styled—it’s meant to be lived in. A style note: The crinkles soften with time. Let them. This is a piece that grows more beautiful with wear, like a handwritten poem tucked into a coat pocket.
- For the unscripted afternoon: Tucked into high-waisted wool crepe pants, a single heirloom ring as punctuation.
- For the clandestine dinner: Layer under a slouchy blazer, sleeves pushed up, hem untucked over cigarette trousers. Add a tarnished silver thumb ring. Carelessness, for the candelight.
- For the everyday sublime: Over faded jeans, as if you’ve always dressed this way, and always will.
For the modern humans who curate, not consume—whose wardrobe is a library of dog-eared favourites, each piece a chapter in their story.
