Martine Sitbon could not be ignored. In the merciless world of fashion, she often goes for unanimity. Her collections are always highly anticipated and very sharp. Summer 2009 is no exception to the rule. Sporty pieces covered in soft armour and women brought the "Convent des Cordeliers" to life. Inspired by volleyball players and American footballers, the silhouettes were covered with layers of material, sometimes pleated and cut geometrically. The outfits had a futuristic and graphic feel.
