Maison Natan’s new Couture collection blossoms through a poetic collaboration with Dutch artist Nicola Kloostermans. Art and fashion merge in fluid silhouettes, floral embroidery, and refined details—crafting a dreamy, botanical world of elegance.
Artistic Collaboration
For the bloom of this new collection, Maison Natan has initiated a collaboration with Dutch artist Nicola Kloostermans, renowned for her poetic and offbeat flower collages. The motifs extracted from her works blossom into new creations, highlighted and brought to life through meticulous tailoring. The arrangement of cut petals creates asymmetrical compositions and generates colors, turning iconic flowers into prints embroidered with pearls and Swarovski crystals.
Floral Fluidity
This season, Natan once again explores the concept of fluidity, with draping techniques that allow the Maison’s talents to embrace these dreamlike flowers and sew them into voluminous dresses and skirts. Graphic and supple orchids scatter into a paradoxical organic universe. The motifs come to life through climbing flowers that embrace the silhouettes. Embroidered floral variations, from wisteria reinterpreted in fabric or leather-inspired textures, emerge in 3D around the body.
Signature Structures
Key pieces of the season include tops and a “cage” dress—delicate botanical frameworks placed over a silk muslin base, sculpting a distinctive, vegetal silhouette reminiscent of refined, herbaceous trellises. The Maison demonstrates that pure simplicity can gently cultivate sophistication. Following the same timeless philosophy, accessories composed entirely of sparkling vines evoke perennial plants with mineral reflections, structuring the lines of soft corsets.
Timeless Sophistication
The Couture collection presents a Grecian vestal-style gown, a nod to Madame Grès, featuring pleated silk in a deep pastel hue, available in a gray-blue shade that enhances the skin’s radiance and in a near-fluorescent foliage green. In warm tones, the Maison has used a subtle gradient that mirrors the reds and blues of the sky from dawn to dusk. In glossy gray-blue, wine-red, and cream, straight tunics interpret sensuality through bold yet nuanced colors—highly desirable pieces cut from a new structured fabric that evokes leather.
Modern Romance
For this summer, Natan also unveils a solid soft pink gown with a train and open back, a seemingly regular yet subtly asymmetrical drape, and a skirt shaped like an inverted flower corolla. While length remains the hallmark of Couture, the fresh allure of a short trapeze dress is also appreciated, paired with geometric beads of polished glass. Equally elegant yet more casual, fluid skirts and trousers can be styled with delicate silk knit sweaters featuring couture details—luxury is in the details. Inside the dresses, a lining in a tender, contrasting color is subtly revealed. The eye is drawn to flashes of color. Precision is highlighted by the fluidity of a wrap trouser. Sensuality is heightened by long gloves in fine leather, in shades of burgundy, nude, or yellow. If desired, accessories take center stage, with adornments blending glass stones and strass.
Botanical Vision
This season celebrates precious gazar, blended silk, and textured technical fabrics, composing a Couture herbarium that unfolds its delicate veins across the body. Finally, a sculptural white gazar coat-dress, with impeccable structure and a bodice shaped by precise darts, confirms Maison Natan’s pursuit of pure, essential constructions. A new vegetal world takes over the space, cultivating effortless sophistication.
