Statement
Shelagh Foyle
From her own comments on Malmaison Encore and on Floris’s heritage, Foyle leans into classically English floral structures updated with modern materials. Her work for Floris, such as Soulle Ambar and Malmaison Encore, often combines luminous citrus or aromatic openings with rich florals and warm ambered or spicy bases, aiming to reinterpret traditional Floris signatures for contemporary wearers.
