Fosca Bertrán's scarves are characterized by colour. The world is pure colour, an infinite range of
combinations that create multiple emotions. Block of primary colours that transport you to distant
exotic natural worlds.
Her idea is to present scarves for which every woman can find a different use. In turn a stole, a
scarf or a sarong, they can both add a touch of elegance to a simple black dress. And they are
large size, three meters. She likes to create the romantic effect of the scarf blowing in the wind. An
accessory to dress. A multi purpose accessory. A unique accessory.
Printed on a fluid, pure silk Georgette crépe, Fosca's long stoles are very recognizable with their
broad graphic patterns inspired by her passion for painting and architecture. Her geometric
designs come from her architectural roots. Like in painting, she likes to play with multiple
dimensions, moving from two to three and four dimensions.
Each side printed with a different design, the perfect balance between two intertwining stories,
breaking all conventions; a unique style that requires her to use a stamping technique to obtain a
unique special effect.
The production is in Lyon, for generations the site of the "savoir faire" of silk, where the taste for
extreme detail and quality is king and where the use of inkjet technique was pioneered. The inkjet
allows for larger scale drawing and only the best quality French silk is selected for her scarves.
The seams are perfect; each scarf undergoing many controls to avoid that even the minimal
imperfection is overlooked; each scarf hand sewn by magical hands that know exactly what colour
to use for each of the scarves.
A foulard Fosca Bertrán is romance, sensuality, elegance, extreme quality, colour, joy, personality,
art object, trendy, an accessory that makes us unique.

SHOOTING EVA QUINTANA
LUCE
This is a very special collection and as indicated in its name, its light shows you the way. A polar
star that takes you to magical places. Luce, or light, is the beginning of a new life, full of new
challenges and things to learn. This is my first collection after many years.

SHOOTING QUIQUE JIMENEZ
MUGEN
I am settled in Paris and still working for Karl Lagerfeld. My collection is now becoming known. I do
fashion shows in Milan and Paris and sell to multibrand shops worldwide; we continue working out
the house I bought. I am fully integrated in the world of fashion and glitz but it neither attracts me
nor fascinates me. I very much like the process of creation and the aesthetics are like that of
architecture. My designs are becoming more sophisticated. Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Monica
Bellucci, Mario Testino, Vincent Cassel y Emmanuel Beart have scarves from this collection.

SHOOTING JORGE APESTEGUIA
NEO
This is my first official collection. What an adventure. I had just relocated to Paris to work with Karl
Lagerfeld and decided to launch my own label. After the first fashion show with Lagerfeld Gallery,
where everything is hand painted, I decided “no more” and decided to focus my attention on
design. It was then that I met my manufacturers, a small company of craftsmen in Lyon who work
with love and ethics. Quality and professionalism are their main concerns and, after eight years, I
am still working with them. Penelope Cruz and Queen Rania of Jordan have scarves from this
collection.

WHITE
SHOOTING EVA QUINTANA
WHITE
This collection was created after the first private sale before Christmas 2012 which was very
successful. I understood the value of human contact. The chose the name "White" because
everything is born white and in this color goes with everything you want. Also it's spring, everything
blooms with pale colors, the first daisies in the grass, the first flowers of almond, cherry, apricot
trees. It’s life reborn from purity, from the retreat of a winter!

ABOUT
LUCE
FOSCA BERTRÁN
Discovered by Karl Lagerfeld in 2003, an encounter that radically changed her young artist's life
and it was the beginning of a long passionate collaboration and the launching platform of the atelier
Fosca in Paris in the following years.
Since then, Fosca has collaborated with many fashion designers including Balenciaga and Juanjo
Oliva.
Her Couture scarves have become a fashion icon worn by stars and princesses and Fosca has
designed exclusive products for Penelope Cruz, Queen Rania of Jordan, Salma Hayeck, Eva
Green, Monica Bellucci, Vincent Cassel, Sophie Marceau, Lou Doillon...
Born in Paris of an Italian mother and a Spanish father, her work is inspired by the different cultures
of the countries she lived in and travelled to since childhood, when her father’s business imposed
on the family a nomadic lifestyle. Due to her frequent travels, Fosca felt the desire to create an
accessory that was easy to carry around, that could be worn in different ways and that gave her a
touch of sophistication no matter what she wore it with. During the years, this idea flourished and
Fosca continued to design scarves for herself and her friends while still working as an architect in
Ibiza, until the unexpected call to the Maison Lagerfeld.
Fosca's education and early work as an architect and designer has a great influence on her
creations. Her scarves mix the colors of nature with the graphic lines of industrial drawings. Her
style is personal and contemporary; her scarves are works of art resulting from the same
experimental and creative process mastered by sculptures and painters.
Her products are created to tell a story and express an emotion, a hybrid between fashion and art.
