Presented in Palm Red, these custom-designed buttons feature the Étoile, one of LUMÈRE’s defining visual signatures. Developed as part of the house’s design language, the four-pointed emblem transforms a functional garment component into a recognizable symbol of authorship. Appearing across collections in varying scales and applications, the Étoile reflects the house’s approach to establishing identity through recurring details. Alongside Palm Red, it forms part of a visual vocabulary intended to remain recognizable regardless of silhouette, material, or season. An exploration of how the smallest elements of a garment can carry the identity of an entire fashion house.
