Fall Winter 24
fall winter 24
the path of emotions
From joy to sadness,
from patience to confidence,
I shift states as I journey
from Jaipur to Calcutta.
our handcrafted pieces
Ikat, embroidery, sequins and silk velvet.
Each region of India features its own ancestral patterns and techniques, and I’m taking you on a trip with new pieces in Jamdani from Bengal, the remarkable handwoven technique introduced last season.
An addition, Chikankari — white embroidery on veils, the pride of Lucknow — is available here on dresses, as well as Calcutta check and tartan patterns, on Khadi and silk velvet.
The designer
Virginie de Vinster is atypical. Virginie spent 15 years living and working in Africa, and her travels brought her across the Sahel, Ivory Coast, Benin, Togo and Ghana.

Her travels
For 14 years, her philosophy has been to make each item of clothing a story, like a travel diary that gives a taste of elsewhere and of others, and incidentally makes you beautiful.
Ethically handmade
Her challenge is to create clothes with ancestral materials and processes by using traditional dying and knotting techniques, block prints and embroidery.
"Her long dresses in Tie and Dye or “Ikat” prints, her hand-dyed silk jackets, her pashmina blouses, her shirts with embroidered sleeves... are all invitations to travel."
"Hand weaving, embroidery, natural materials... with her eponymous brand, Virginie modernizes ancestral know-how. So good!"
“The belted vest in natural wool from the FW 2021 season makes an appearance in an editorial in Vogue Paris.”
"The light blouse, worn next to the skin or cool as an over-shirt, it has established itself as the new essential of the season."
“Quilted fabric leaves its bourgeois countryside and appears as one of the essential textures of the urban wardrobe.”
