Lisa, Marie Victoire, how do you know each other?

Marie Victoire: A mutual friend introduced us just after the first lockdown. It was the first time we'd seen people outside our homes again, and it was absurdly funny.

Lisa: Yes, it was Edith who introduced us and what a great idea! I love confronting my ideas with those of Marie Victoire. She has a different creative vision of things and has no limits, whereas I can be more "shy" in my choices. She doesn't shy away from anything.

Lisa, I hear Marie Victoire created a very special announcement for Suzanne's birth. Can you tell us about it?

Lisa: It was a wonderful birth gift for our little person. It's a three-part card that unfolds into flaps, in the shape of multicolored flowers and birds... doesn't that make you want to? Once again, the sky was the limit!

It seems that your creative worlds often intersect. What do you have in common? And your differences, if any?

MV: I'd say we share an endless passion for color, head-to-toe total looks, and our slightly silly cats.

Lisa:  Definitely a love of color, understated prints and classic shoes... (laughs)

Marie Victoire, for you, what is the essence of Make My Lemonade? Do you have any favorite pieces?

Democratic cheerfulness and a feminine point of view on women that feels good... My favorite pieces? Vivi, a polka-dot skirt gathered over the hips that makes your butt look great, the 4-pocket checkered jacket from the Soul Trip collection (of course!) and a must-have pair of rainbow mules!

How did you come up with the idea of a collaboration?

MV: Assembling kitchen furniture at Lisa's before Suzanne arrived! Crazy ideas born of friendship always work!

Lisa: I can't remember exactly, but it must have been around that time, when I had no limits either, 9 months pregnant and with my head in the boxes. I must have had the nerve to ask her if she'd like us to do something crazy together...

Can you describe the spirit of the Soul Trip collection, in a few words?

MV: Mischievous, inclusive with a touch of extravagance.

Lisa: Fuuuuuun, light and with color as the best antidepressant.

What do you hope this collection will inspire in the Make My Lemonade community?

We hope they'll dare to trust us, embrace our mix of prints and feel beautiful and powerful in pieces that are good for the heart and soul!

Marie-Victoire, do you have any upcoming projects you'd like to tell us about?

A line of psychedelic upholstery fabrics and wallpapers with a French manufacturer is in the works, but we'll talk about it when it's ready!
