The one-size system is not a fit gimmick but the house’s entire design language: ruched florals, gathered cut-outs, and adjustable drawstring seams that let the same dress resolve differently on every body. It doubles as a production ethic — one size means no unsold size runs, less overstock, and a leaner supply chain, an argument the duo have made central to the brand since day one.

Manas designs, Delepierre runs strategy, and together they have pushed a message the Paris calendar had long resisted: that body diversity belongs on the official schedule, not just in campaign imagery. Their casting — spanning the full size range the clothes are cut for — has made their shows some of the most genuinely inclusive in Paris, and the ANDAM jury’s endorsement confirmed the industry was finally listening.
