AVION feminin is a designer women's collection based in New York City. Its designs focus on fit and old world, tailored silhouettes, constructing a finely crafted garment that is both unique and sophisticated. AVION, the French word for airplane, relates both to a sense of an old fashioned holiday, and the modern sense of escapism. The desire to create garments learning from old world technique, while designing a feminine collection that is modern, elegant and creative. This is achieved by using seaming to create structure, sublet detailing, hand finishing, and attention to fabrication, inner construction, and materials.
