Par Héloïse Salessy
Thursday August 12, 10:00, SAKS Potts parade.For the third and last day of Fashion Week in Copenhagen, a handful of personalities in vogue and journalists flock to Charlottenlund, a commune north of the Danish capital, in particular housing the private residence of the architect Arne Jacobsen.A place dear to creative duo, as Barbara Potts points out, "we love Arne Jacobsen's architecture.The house belonged to him and Cathrine and I, when we were children, we have always been attracted to clothes, of course, but also by art and architecture.Whenever we saw this house, we were amazed. ”
Echoing this modern and rational place, Cathrine Saks and Barbara Potts imagine a well-time wardrobe in their time, modeled on their own desires and those of contemporary women, each of which bears the name of one of the relatives of the creators.“Last year, we took a new direction for the brand.Saks Potts of course keeps its essence but the monogram has changed as well as the designs.We also wanted to create more complete looks.No longer just pants, a jacket ... We designed this collection as a wardrobe with pants, t-shirts, coats, perfect cuts and details.It's a bit of our dreams dressing room! ".Or a series of tweed coats and comforting meino wool sweaters, workwear effects trench with a multitude of pockets, oversized pants with boyish charm or small ideal silk dresses from nightfall…
On the fashion side, the Scandinavian therefore always looks great.Like the French, she invests in good essential basics, always knowing how to bring this twist, practical, above all.Demonstration with a series of accessories, functional but not devoid of style, like belts with carabiners or bags upgraded of micro-pochettes to store its airpods.
Fashion, yes, but responsible.
In terms of responsibility, Scandinavian brands are still one step ahead, and Saks Potts is no exception from the rule."We have always tried to pay attention to the environment and that is what we will continue to do, even even more.We do not like to use the word "sustainability" because it would be nonsense since we work in fashion.However, for each of our decisions, whether it is the choice of fabrics for example, we always wonder what we could do to become even more responsible.We already use organic or recycled materials.Everything is indicated on our website.I think that being responsible is essential today, all brands should become, large or small, although it is complicated when you are a small business because it still costs very expensive. ”
And it is in this Green logic that the duo called on the house Manolo Blahnik during the show, by fitting their figures of models from the archives of the 90's/00's (umpteenth tribute to the Carolyn Bessette Kennedy style, whose paparazzadeswere the last inspiration of the Saks Potts Spring-Summer 2021 lookbook).Good news: part of the collection is already available on sakspotts.com… All that remains is to find a pair of Vintage Manolo Blahnik!
