Fauve Parade: Your Back-to-School New Season Style Starts with our signature shirt SCALA
A back-to-school New Season defined by elegance and creativity – welcome to Fauve Parade!
Aligned stripes, crisp pleats, and beautifully structured tweeds… At first glance, a uniform aesthetic – but look closer, and the unmistakable Fauve spirit shines through.
Blending British refinement with nautical undertones and sharp femininity, the Fauve Parade capsule brings a bold twist to the new season.
To celebrate our 10th anniversary, Maison Fauve is in the spotlight in the back-to-school issue of Marie Claire Idées (France’s go-to magazine for creative lifestyle and modern crafting) with an exclusive pattern: the Scala shirt.
Scala: the signature shirt by Maison Fauve
Inspired by the menswear wardrobe, Scala plays with the codes of Italian elegance and charm: a straight cut, wide graphic stitched pleats, a round pleat in the back, and a large structured collar. This beautiful sewing pattern is full of details while remaining a timeless piece, faithful to the Maison Fauve DNA.
The Scala pattern is available in sizes 34 to 52, with seam allowances included and several PDF format options (A4, A3, A0, US Letter, video projection).
