Marie France Van Damme

一般信息

Born in Montreal Canada, Marie France Van Damme, pioneered the Orient in the early 1980's when she relocated to Hong Kong to start her manufacturing company specializing in women’s wear.

Throughout her years of travel, Marie France identified a niche in the market for a chic, stylish and complete resort wear collection. Therefore, incorporating her knowledge and experience garnered from designing and producing private label for top retailers in Europe, and inspired by her vivacious and cosmopolitan lifestyle, she decided to mount such a collection dedicated to other savvy and sophisticated women with a sense of style.

The Marie France Van Damme resort wear collection waxes nostalgic and modern at the same time, the essence of which is a lightness of touch, a sense of enjoyment and simplicity. The collection is defined by a fluid neutral palette ranging from metallic bronze to gunmetal, silver to gold, beautiful prints and solids in fabrics such as diaphanous silk chiffon and luscious silk sateen, to a weightless jersey.

Signature pieces include an ankle length Babani cover up hemmed in Swarovski beads to give you a chic ethereal look; a form-fitting playsuit captures a trip back to the glamorous 70s; and a bevy of breezy sheer caftans to wear over complimentary bikinis.

This versatile and multifaceted collection strikes a balance between day and night, transitioning from an afternoon at the beach to an evening out. In its entirety, the collection covers every occasion from the beginning to the end of a sizzling vacation, and more; both urbane and urban.

“This is a women friendly collection with equal emphasis on quality and design,” according to MFVD. “Ease is an important theme, the pieces can be mixed and matched effortlessly, an infinity of options to reflect your own personal style and attitude; there is no right or wrong way, only your way.”

MFVD’s work is a master class in the art of dressing with a “wear anywhere” appeal.
