A decorator for the cinema and advertising, a stylist for children’s ready-to-wear, Marie Robinson then worked for a very fashionable Parisian designer. A fresh start came in the form of a sewing-machine that belonged to her grandmother. And the initial idea was remarkably simple : Marie works with linen, combining it with coloured materials, organdy, cotton, taffeta and silk. She pursues her credo of “100 % natural” to the very end by adding a variety of fragrances to her creations. Her autumn/winter collection called “Parfum d’étoile” will propose star anise flowers delicately embroidered onto tablecloths, place-mats and table riders and slipped into perfumed sachets. A delightful way of updating fine linen and the art of embroidery. La Maison Robinson à Nice, by appointment to 04 93 98 91 49.
