- + INFO inSuzon & Lena
The Index Marine Miel, the young designer hiding behind Suzon & Lena, has got talent and much more: she also glows with laudable ambition, and bravely asserts the peculiarity of her work. She founded her brand at the sweet age of 24, and opened her own store just two years later, in the heart of the Marais district in Paris. Suzon & Lena offers collections whose esthetics draws on Belle Epoque garment codes, with "faux-culs, tailles de guêpe et belles épaules", blended with 50's pin-up spirit, 80's vintage and a not-overly-Parisian touch. One may object to the way she introduces her pretty collection inside a look-book bordering on Charcot's hysterics, or to her outright refusal to comply with the passing fads that do and un-do the fashion world every afternoon - but the essentials are covered: the clothes shut critics up. It is salutary to discover new designers that are absolutely not formatted by trends, nor slaves of a niche they occupy without sincerity, simply out of convenience. We'd readily kiss Marine Miel good luck, but something tells us a bow would be more appropriate.
