ABOUT THE COLLECTION
Inspired by the poetic imagery of Charles Baudelaire and by the tension that defines Les Fleurs du Mal — that beauty which rises from what is forbidden, wounded, and from what insists on blooming despite everything— Mariano Moreno presents for the second time his new Haute Couture collection in Paris, an exploration of the floral universe from a dark, sensual, and deeply human perspective.
The exclusive presentation was at the iconic Lapérouse restaurant, a legendary Parisian venue whose scratched mirrors—marked by courtesans to verify the authenticity of the jewels received from their lovers—preserve a memory of desire, power, and survival. This atmosphere speaks directly to the Baudelairean sensibility, that unique way of finding light within shadow and poetry within the clandestine.
In this setting, charged with history, the garments reinterpret the idea of flowers growing outside their natural context, a nod to Baudelaire’s gesture of discovering beauty in unexpected territories.
This unsettling perspective is a fundamental part of what Mariano Moreno seeks to express through
"Les Fleurs Du Mal".
