"De La Nuit"


Examining Louis XIV and His Influence.

Titled “De La Nuit,” the seasonal range examines Louis XIV and his influence on ballet, media, and the French Revolution. Mr. Saturday shares, “How one man’s selfishness can create so much beauty and so much destruction. How that beauty and that destruction lead to a rebirth. Over 300 years later, not much has changed. What beauty and what destruction is created from our forced attention today? What is rebirth? Who is royalty and who crowned them anyway?

"I started to think about who is the royalty of today; who are we giving our attention to – watching their version of the ballet – and what beauty and destruction does that create. Practically speaking, it comes down to the silhouettes of dancers and the costumes in the ballet and people who attended it." - Joey Gollish

I learned a lot about Louis XIV’s selfishness as a young king who wanted to force people to watch his ballet, which was 12 or 13 hours long and from where he got the name ‘Sun King’, and how this produced so much beauty.

"Over the past few years, I hope it’s become clear to people that the brand is evolving in a more mature direction, both with our own evolution and the evolution of our customer. This season, it’s playing out through a lot of tailoring with little flourishes of ballet throughout the collection."
