Introducing Spring 22 ‘Provenance’: a collection inspired by the incomparable, effortless glamour and honeyed light of the south of France, as epitomised by La Colombe d’Or or, ‘The Golden Dove’.
The storied hotel, a refined and eclectic inn on the French Riviera, was a home away from home for the most revered artists, writers and actors of the 20th century.
Frequented by Picasso, Matisse and Miró, as well as feminist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir and sculptors César and Calder, this eccentric melting pot of creatives found their way to the mesmerising setting and, over time, contributed many great works of art that continue to be on display today; the golden light of Provence inspiring them to see colour in a new way, experimenting with new reliefs and colour palettes.
Aje’s Creative Directors Edwina Forest and Adrian Norris wanted to explore this merging of worlds; the ‘bon vivance’ of La Colombe d’Or and why certain places have a golden energy that draws creatives to them.
