Bonpoint and Vanessa Seward cosign an original
womenswear capsule collection. The collection includes women’s ready-to-wear and accessories with
pairing girl outfits for Fall Winter 2024. The collection, inspired by Vanessa
Seward’s iconic silhouettes, consists of 46 references. 

“Collaborating with Bonpoint for this women's collection was a
natural choice for me. I've admired Bonpoint since the 90s, when I would buy
their 16yo clothes for myself, mixing them with couture pieces. Later, I bought
Bonpoint for my daughter, drawn to its timeless, chic, and classic yet never
boring style. When Bonpoint proposed a collaboration, it felt like a perfect
fit.”

Vanessa and Bonpoint’s creative process for this capsule collection was
deeply rooted in the identities of both brands. It was crucial to blend both
DNAs. Inspired by Bonpoint's existing collection, Vanessa aimed to merge the
children's collection with her interpretation, particularly for evening wear,
where black and white ceremonial pieces she once bought for her daughter
influenced her. Vanessa’s style manifested more in the cuts and shapes, while
Bonpoint's essence came through the fabrics, details, and colors. Incorporating
Liberty prints and silk added a feminine yet elegant touch, and using sequins
for evening wear balanced freshness and sexiness.   

Working with Bonpoint's atelier was essential: “the atelier's
expertise in luxury finishes and the team's dedication made the experience so
rewarding that I am already planning another collection with them”. Says
Vanessa.  

The collection was designed for a full wardrobe from morning to evening.
The aim was to create timeless pieces that women can incorporate into their
wardrobes and keep for a long time. The collection includes iconic pieces like
the Gentlewoman dress, emphasizing accessibility for women of all shapes,
sizes, and ages. 

Accessories play a crucial role in enhancing the overall look and feel of the collection. Shoes, in particular, are transformative. Vanessa designed three styles of shoes, including lightweight booties with a small heel for
comfortable, all-day wear.
