Wind Of Change
A celebration of contrasts - discretion and intensity; precision and whimsy - le Tempête's spirit is in constant motion. Launched in 1967, le Tempête is one of Delvaux's most tempestuous designs. Born into an era of unbridled promise, le Tempête stands at the crossroads between the refinement of mid-century design and the thrilling transformations of the late 1960s.
With it's Shakespearean name, le Tempête evokes the ferocity of a storm as much as its promise of renewal. Much like the tempest of energetic youth ready to take their place at the centre of culture in the late 1960s, le Tempête is an emblem of passionate clarity.
It is always resolute and utterly at ease with its contradictions. At once discreet and intense, its sharp front flap, assertive studs and sculptural side gussets, le Tempête is a modern masterpiece.
