ABOUT CINQ À SEPTcinq à sept sank·ah·set sæŋk’e’set n : The time between late afternoon and early evening when streets are awash in the warm glow of the vanishing sun and anything is possibleSharing its name with the French term for the liminal moment linking late afternoon and early evening, Cinq à Sept brings the intriguing tension between day and night to a new advanced contemporary collection. Inspired by the hours between 5 and 7 p.m., when city streets are awash in the warm glow of the vanishing sun and office desks are abandoned for cocktails and as-yet unknown possibilities, Cinq à Sept embodies a deliberate balance between sophistication and ease, youthful daring and confident allure. The collection’s modern feminine aesthetic embraces unexpected details and striking silhouettes, resulting in clothing that draw their romance and sexiness from the woman wearing them.Design & Creative Support:Hands-on Embellishment Assistance; Support designers with embellishment layoutsby hand sewing, pinning, or assembling mock-ups as needed.Concept & Presentation Boards:Prepare, organize, and update concept andpresentation boards to reflect seasonal themes.
