Laurence Levy<\/strong> is glad to introduce you this new collection<\/strong>, full of potential<\/strong>..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It all starts with\u2026 a suitcase<\/strong>. A streamlined wardrobe<\/strong> filled with a chic, pragmatic selection of pieces<\/strong> to layer up and mix and match<\/em>: bodysuits<\/strong>, cashmere socks<\/strong> and twinsets<\/strong>, pleated knit skirts<\/strong> and bomber jackets<\/strong>, cable-stitch roll-necks<\/strong> and men\u2019s-style jumpers<\/strong>. A natural collection<\/strong> for Autumn\/Winter 2024-25<\/strong>, designed to elevate your look<\/strong>. Director of Design Carolyn Randolfi<\/strong>\u2019s concept for the collection was based on colours<\/strong> that go well together: Vanda<\/em> violet<\/strong>, Dawn<\/em> yellow<\/strong>, Niagara<\/em> blue<\/strong>, Retro<\/em> pink<\/strong>, Celebrity<\/em> orange<\/strong> and Carouby<\/em> green<\/strong>. Inspired by the tapestries<\/strong> of modernist Bauhaus<\/strong><\/em> women, Randolfi<\/strong> sketched out the lines of a graceful silhouette<\/em><\/strong>, balancing a clean-lined allure<\/strong> with variations that play joyfully with colour<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I began my career in 2005<\/strong> as a strategy consultant at Oliver Wyman<\/strong> before joining the Corporate Strategy Department<\/strong> of the Danone Group<\/strong><\/em>. In 2012<\/strong>, I joined L\u2019Or\u00e9al<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s luxury division in the Travel Retail<\/strong> channel  and I worked on Couture<\/em> fragrances<\/strong> brands such as Giorgio Armani<\/strong><\/em>, Viktor & Rolf<\/strong><\/em> or Ralph Lauren<\/strong><\/em>. I left Travel Retail<\/strong> during Covid<\/strong><\/em> as I was appointed Deputy Managing Director<\/strong> of Yves Saint Laurent Beaut\u00e9<\/strong><\/em> alongside the brand Global President<\/strong>. After spending 10 years in the beauty<\/strong> world, I was appointed  CEO<\/strong> of Repetto<\/strong><\/em> in June 2022<\/strong>, with the challenge of modernising and revitalising the iconic brand<\/strong>, which I left following the death of Jean-Marc Gaucher<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am inspired by French heritage<\/strong> brands, iconic<\/strong> brands with a strong savoir-faire<\/strong><\/em> and a DNA<\/strong>. And it is very exciting to lead those brands<\/strong> to new frontiers and develop their awareness<\/strong> and their appeal to a broader audience<\/strong> : to younger clients<\/strong> and in new markets<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
