Style.
Alexandre Vauthier's collections mostly consist of black and gold. For the fall-winter 2011-2012 seasons, the collection was all-red.
His clothes often feature Swarovski crystals and embroideries by Maison Lesage.
We can find a "V" (which stands for his name, Vauthier) on several clothes, as well as the jewelry.
