Nolwenn FALIGOT, born 1991
Jeanne Malivel dress, Gwenn ha Glaz collection, Dirinon and Quimper - 2024
One-of-a-kind piece, washed natural linen, mother-of-pearl buttons, silk-screen printed
by Sophie Ambroise (Glaz'ink).
One size Long. 1.10 m
A double-breasted dress, featuring the gathered detail - a Nolwenn Faligot signature borrowed from Breton garments of yesteryear. A favorite piece in the NOLWENN FALIGOT universe, the generous-volume dress is revisited in undyed washed linen (evoking the blouse by designer Seiz
Breur's blouse, which gives the dress its name), illuminated by a gold-toned print - an echo of traditional embroidery - with a revisited Bigouden motif.

Nolwenn FALIGOT, born 1991
A graduate of London's top fashion schools, Nolwenn Faligot has worked in England, Slovakia, China, Japan and at Paris Fashion Week. Wishing to create her eponymous brand, she decided to return to her roots and settle in her native Finistère, where she created a line of clothing for women combining elegance and functionality. Her NOLWENN FALIGOT brand is a delicate blend of Celtic heritage and influences from the four corners of the world, echoing Breton clothing heritage in a bold, modern evocation. She also creates mini-collections in collaboration with Armor Lux, revisiting the brand's classics with her own creativity. Nolwenn Faligot - president of the PEVARZEK collective, a group of artists, craftspeople and designers who reflect on Breton design today - echoes the Seiz Breur approach, which aims to promote Brittany, its heritage and know-how, while renewing its creative power in a contemporary way, as Jeanne Malivel did in her day.
For Ar Seiz Avel, she has created an exclusive collection entitled "Gwenn ha Glaz" / "Blanc et mer". Nolwenn Faligot draws her inspiration from the everyday clothes of yesteryear, men's and women's work outfits, the meeting of farmer and sailor. From volume to detail, the pieces draw on the region's clothing repertoire. From the tis serande, who traditionally creates material by hand, to the graphic artist who cuts stone paper for silk-screen printing, and the embroiderer who perpetuates ancestral gestures to bring to life motifs inspired by Breton textile heritage, masterpieces from the world of the Breton-soul clothing designer are revisited: from the kabig to the striped dress, via the kimono caban, the double-breasted dress and the short jacket, or the reversible shawl and the smocked dress Artists, designers, poets, explorers or legendary people - the names of these seven creations evoke inspired and inspiring Breton women.
