This brand has a clear parallel to space travel and exploring the cosmos: both modern phenomena and bold goals.

“Sauvage” is a common phrase nowadays, yet it only appeared in the 1960s. Pierre recalls an article by Paul Jose of Toulouse whose eponymous fashion house bared its soul to the world for a week only. “We dared to imagine a tantalising world of inside information, discarded truths and missing links in the arenas of art, music, architecture and technology.” The article was printed in two parts, one small, page of text, the other a much more visualised intellectual journey. “The small part we’ve played in this dialogue is that first page, which presents us as an arbitrary assemblage of verbal sentences,” Pierre continues. “As such, it inevitably links together in a temporal fugue state, a leftover from the initial presentation of the subject as a collection of articles, with the resolution of their as yet uncut content.” This step was the least trivial, a courtesy to authorial intent. But for this reader, it serves as a sort of portal into a subject matter previously left unspoken.
