Meruert Tolegen Fall/Winter '22 Paris Fashionweek

 

 

We visited the presentation in a small gallery in Paris and were happily surprised by the for us, unkown brand. The tiny gallery was filled with garments, a model showing the clothes and the designer herself Meruert Tolegen. The collection consists out of poetic balloon skirts and dresses, see through sheer dresses and textured oversized, or just sleek tops. 

But... we have to talk about the knitwear... 

When just arriving at the presentation, the model was wearing the cream balaclava with a big knitted dress/shawl/coat call it whatever, our absolute favourite look and we were and are obsessed.

The oversized cable knit cardigan, worn with only derby shoes, was one of the outstanding looks as well. We could easily see anyone wearing this mid winter.  That also goes for the knitted, crochet like sleeveless top, here worn with shorts but imagine it wearing on jeans combined with an oversiezd blazer.  

- The silhouettes of the Winter 2022 collection create a choreography of lines and patterns, united in a harmonious dance. Meruert finds the balance in each piece between shapes and generous lines. Meruert represents the self-discovering woman with a whimsical temperament and a totally dreamlike inner world. Although the feminine nature of the brand is evident in its delicate aesthetics, there is a masculine element to Tolegen's pieces. This masculine imprint is expressed throughout the garment with lightness and fluidity, bringing together two facets of a multidimensional woman. The Winter 2022 collection features another interesting piece of work;  knitwear. The knitwear plays with different techniques to create different textures and designs that revisit knitting. For the Winter 2022 collection, Meruert Tolegen was inspired by nature, old fabrics and whimsical interiors. -  From the brand
