Métamorphose
The Métamorphose collection is a tribute to the plant world, to the infinity of its forms, textures and colors. It’s an ode to nature, source of a multitude of materials and riches from which mankind has never ceased to draw inspiration.
The pieces of this collection are a manifesto dedicated to Nature: alive, poetic, joyful and colorful, but also capable of being mysterious and intriguing, whenever it attempts to free itself from the role assigned to it by man. Nature prints, sculpts or escapes from the outlines of the garments, as if driven by a fierce desire to reclaim its rights over the materials that surround it, from fabric to metal to paper. Freed from the role of mere adornment, nature bursts forth and imposes itself to the point of questioning: is it the origin or extension of the garment?
Based on the double meaning of the word “nature”, the Métamorphose collection is also a metaphor of the personal and career path of Julie Mouly–Pommerol, gradually gaining confidence and self-assertion.
Métamorphose bears witness to the intimate, sensual nature of the relationship between man and nature, as the latter inexorably attempts to reclaim its wild state, like a wake-up call to mankind.
LOOK 1 This look was created with two shirts that belonged to Julie’s grandmother. Beyond the ecological aspect of upcycling, fashion is a story of transmission. This look is also an image of the construction of our identity: although firmly marked by our upbringing and our family history, we are free to invent our own story and chart our own course. The body jewelry is made with mulberry paper and hand-painted.

LOOK 4 On this look, is the jewel an extension of the pattern of the dress, or is it the other way around? The two intertwine in a natural, organic movement. The two metal flower jewels spread across the model's skin, as if they wanted to cover it completely.
