Franck Sorbier. "Les Saltimbanques":


Yesterday, today and tomorrow.


For them, the right to be different is a vocation, a duty, a priesthood and not a due.

Immediately, we think of the film Les Enfants du paradis, Marcel Carns masterpiece, based on a screenplay by Jacques Prvert, shot during the Occupation, where the first scene shows a jubilant crowd, it is the Carnival parade, Boulevard du Crime, today Boulevard du Temple, in Paris, of the 

Paris at night 

photos of Brassa and the bands of Apaches, the bad boys of the time, of Sarah Bernhardt, but also, of Marlne Dietrich on the stage as in the city, of the troubadours, of the funfairs, of the street performances, of the operetta, of the magic, of the poetry, of a Pierrot-Arlequin and of a Phoenix that never ends to rise from its ashes.


To which parish to meet, in this troubled period?

I would be tempted to answer:

At the parish of the Mounterbanks, of course!.

When we know that the illustrious Molire could have been thrown into the wrong commune, at night and without mass, like all the actors and other artists of the time. We wonder. Acclaimed during their lifetime, they were, at their death, rejected by society and excommunicated by the Church.


Today, the tragic end is replaced by honorary tributes. Its just a fair return.

The gleaming and romantic black is essential.

Poppy, opera and scarlet reds shine.

How not to quote the famous novel by Stendhal, Le Rouge et le Noir.

Embroideries are omnipresent in applied guipures, cut-out black lace, recomposed and applied on a red background or in the archives of Maison Worth.

Once again, we find nature. It generously flourishes on a Tree of Life coat, a refuge for exotic birds and other shimmering insects.

Crumpled, breaded and bubbled velvet warms the winter of our souls.

The Atelier Sorbier line plays the classic vintage card. The tailored jacket, which was the foundation of the brand from 1991 to 2000, is an updated return to basics that will dress both new generations and timeless aficionados.

This collection is a playful and humanist snub to the current trend.

A breath that takes us a little further to be ever closer to who we are.

Lets close our eyes and imagine for five minutes that all the Acrobats of the

world take each other by the hand.
