In nearly a decade of shopping at Sézane, I've often wondered where founder Morgane Sézalory finds her inspiration. The colors are so rich and the silhouettes are so considered, pulling on one of her sweaters can feel like divine wardrobe intervention. (Her Midas-Parisian touch makes even a New Balance sneaker collab look chic.) Now, she just gave her answer in the form of another special collaboration.
Today, Sézane is dropping a limited-edition collection with Antoinette Poisson, a French maison for artisanal wallpapers. Sézalory first visited the label's workshop in 2015 and struck up a close friendship with its creative team, Vincent Farelly and Jean-Baptiste Martin. A decade later, she's translating ten of the brand's 18th-century inspired patterns into a collection of vibrant sweaters, coats, and matching sets for winter.
This is not a collaboration for blending in. Across women's, men's, and children's clothing, plus a delightful edit of home goods, the Sézane x Antoinette Poisson collaboration delivers an antidote to the winter blues. Swirling florals arrive in contrasting shades of burgundy and cream; matching sets combine intertwining brocades with geometric, tile-like patterns. My eye also caught on a chili red corduroy matching set and a lace-front quilted jacket—pieces that have all the comfort and coziness winter outfits require, but with a look-at-me-palette that refuses to fade into the background.
Ahead, I've shopped out the Sézane x Antoinette Poisson pieces I'm trusting for a mood boost this November. I may not have visited the Paris workshop myself, but I know wearing these colorful pieces is the next best thing. If Sézane's founder trusts this label for a personality-enhancing print, so do I.
My Sézane x Antoinette Poisson Picks
The mixed prints on this ribbon-front quilted jacket remind me of a cozy winter blanket. (Complimentary.) I'll layer it with a merino wool turtleneck for mornings at my chilly office.
Sézane's cuddly winter sweaters, upgraded with 3-D knitted florals? This is a bouquet I know I'll splurge on.
My days exclusively pairing my rich-girl sweaters to jeans are over. Now, I have these painterly floral corduroy pants to liven up my winter knitwear.
I'm all over the chili flake color trend that spiced up runways this fall. The Sézane x Antoinette Poisson take—a cropped jacket and matching trousers—is destined to turn up the heat on my winter workday outfits.
Bonus: The corduroy pants pair just as nicely with a floral cardigan or a button-down shirt.
The Will Jacket is one of Sézane's longest-running classics, but it feels so fresh with floral and printed patches all over the pockets.
I'm recommending this checkerboard sweater to anyone who wanted to shop Belly's Sézane knits from The Summer I Turned Pretty.
