DELACROIX | Floral Watercolor Quilted Jacket Lucie

So many colors on a single piece, you might think it will be overwhelming!

Instead, imagine a painting: flowers painted in watercolor, fuchsia, turquoise, and aquamarine, blending into one another against a very light background. Stop imagining: the Lucie is a work of art before it is a print.

• Blended colors
  No shade stops abruptly: pinks glide into purples, turquoise into greens. It is these soft transitions that make the whole harmonious rather than garish.
• A light background
  The pearl gray that carries the pattern calms the whole piece and allows the flowers to breathe. Without it, the jacket would be saturated; with it, it is radiant.
• One strong piece
  Worn over black or solid gray, it becomes the entire outfit. This is the simplest way to wear a lot of color: just put it in one place.
• Quilted comfort
  The fine padding protects against the chill without weighing down the shoulders or hindering the arms. You forget you’re wearing it.
• Dark finishes
  The anthracite piping frames the edges and structures this abundance. It is the frame of the painting.

Color is only overwhelming when it is everywhere at once. Concentrated on a single jacket, it becomes a signature — the one you will be asked to wear again.
