20 Years of Heritage and Modern Femininity in Paris
At the China Cultural Center in Paris, the Chinese fashion house PSALTER celebrated its 20th anniversary with a collection titled “Psalms of the Moment.” The show marked two decades of timeless refinement, bridging Eastern tradition and Western modernity, and opening a new chapter for the brand’s signature retro academicism.
The event’s setting—a luminous glass structure blending elements of ancient pagoda architecture—mirrored PSALTER’s creative philosophy: honoring heritage while embracing innovation. This dialogue between past and present defined the collection’s spirit, weaving a narrative of intellectual elegance and urban individuality.
“Psalms of the Moment” explored contrasts — tailored discipline and expressive freedom, tradition and experimentation. The runway presented checkered coats, tailored blazers, leather jackets, and color-blocked knits, layered with artistic spontaneity. These ensembles reflected the dual nature of the modern woman: confident, independent, and effortlessly chic.
The collection reinterpreted classic motifs — anniversary badges, stripes, and diamond patterns — infusing them with new dynamism. Positioned asymmetrically on shoulders and sleeves, they became emblems of individuality. Chinese details such as frog fastenings, mandarin collars, and waist ornaments were revisited through deconstruction, creating a contemporary Eastern aesthetic both refined and rebellious.
Accessories played a symbolic role: anniversary brooches, Chinese-knot-inspired ties, and modular accents served as a visual language of playfulness and culture. The color palette combined academic blues, earthy browns, and warm reds with flashes of violet and creamy yellow, forming a poetic harmony between intellect and emotion.
For PSALTER, celebrating this milestone meant more than looking back. It was about redefining modern femininity — an identity that is intelligent, versatile, and free-spirited. Each silhouette captured the essence of today’s woman: a creative thinker, a professional, and an individual unafraid to express herself through fashion.
With “Psalms of the Moment,” PSALTER reaffirms its position as a global fashion brand rooted in cultural sophistication, craftsmanship, and a timeless sense of grace.
