The Essence of Timelessness: The Robe Quatre Coutures
Meaningful garments that transcend the trap of pointless novelty
The essence of timelessness has become a highly popular concept in fashion—beautifully embodied in The Robe Quatre Coutures by French designer and couturier Marc Le Bihan.
Unfortunately, ‘timelessness’ is one of those marketing labels many brands exploit to boost sales. In fact, brands that misuse the term often heavily discount their so-called timeless pieces during sales or seasonal promotions.
Moreover, some argue that timeless fashion is a contradiction in terms. However, we disagree. Certain garments can indeed transcend time while retaining a contemporary edge.
Understanding timelessness means leaving behind marketing and consumerism in favour of a more thoughtful, attentive, and conscious vision of fashion. We quote Marc Le Bihan, who, in his own words (from our conversation with him), perfectly conveys a sense of timelessness:
“My idea is to keep a garment for ten years in the wardrobe, then take it out and still want to wear it because it’s timeless.Mine is a work in progress. If a shirt is good, it’s good forever.”
