Behind the Scenes

Savoir-faire

Key pieces from the new collection exemplify the House's savoir-faire, a creative dialogue between tradition and innovation.

The Set

The Summer 2026 show space is modeled on the velvet-lined interiors of the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. On the walls hang two modest yet beautiful paintings by Jean Siméon Chardin (1699-1779). At a time when art was often concerned with excess and spectacle, Chardin revered the everyday, trading grandeur for sincerity and empathy.
