Romain Bichot, Prix le19M des Métiers d’art

The project is a fusion of a trench coat and a mattress found in the street.
The idea behind this trench coat is to rework a wardrobe archetype and combine it with the shape of the mattress, an object developed in my first collection presented in competition last year.
The left half is a classic trench coat, while the right half is stretched and wrapped around, thickening at the front to rest on the shoulder. This wrapping gesture echoes the red mattress from my 2024 collection.
On the front, the red jacquard inscription “nothing really mattress”, like a tag, adorns the garment. Details evoke the mattress, such as the pockets inspired by the side handles and the floral pattern of the fabric.
