VictorVictoria is launched
The new collection from Mastro Raphaël designed by Gian Battista Vannozzi

Male and female meet on small tailored armchairs and sofas.

The meeting of two styles, two ways of life, is the inspiration behind the new VictorVictoria collection, designed by Gian Battista Vannozzi for Mastro Raphaël.

His-Hers, man-woman, male-female, the two souls of the same world that continue to meet, merge and intermingle.

His jackets, elegant and sober in classic twill, pin stripe or flannel are draped there on the armchair, the same armchair on which she rests the butterflies and flowers from her garden.

In this collection of furnishing fabrics and household linens, Mastro Raphaël tells the story.

His fabrics are woollen but reflect her influence: silhouettes of butterflies and giant floral patterns in ultra-shiny silk satin; tone on tone colours for a folder that includes the "grey flannel" of his everyday suits and the "bronzed brown" of her evening dresses.

These combinations "dress" the new sofas and precious "tailored" armchairs, rounded and square, embroidered and inlaid with wool and satin patterns.

Male-female, man-woman, his-hers, they are linked by contrast… it is a story begun (and never finished) many years ago…
