Designed in 1984, handmade in France, Series T pushed the language of Series A into bolder, more sculptural territory, introducing a wrap-inspired contour that felt ahead of its time. The frame - in the color purple - made its first splash in the premiere issue of ELLE USA in 1985, captured in a stunning editorial themed ‘Racy Royals’, photographed by Gilles Bensimon and styled by Elissa Santisi. The publisher elevated the moment by choosing the image for an oversized launch poster that took over Manhattan bus stops. Seeing it everywhere in the city was a moment of genuine pride.
This iteration features a graffiti-inspired finish, created for a runway collaboration with the legendary Stephen Sprouse, one of New York’s most electrifying designers of the era. Stephen championed a new visual vocabulary: part rock-and-roll, part Warhol, part rebellious spirit of the East Village.
