The poison of grace and resolve.
Marie Antoinette
Born in Vienna in 1755, Marie Antoinette married the French dauphin in 1770 and became queen when Louis XVI ascended the throne in 1774. Closely associated with the culture of Versailles, she took an interest in art and dress. Her life reflects both the splendour of the court and the upheavals of an age moving towards revolution.
In her image, POISON sees resolve beneath grace. Beauty becomes an expression of the will to cherish what one loves. Through the lens of love and dignity, the brand revisits a queen whose story has been told in many different ways.
Delicacy and strength can exist together. Even a vulnerable heart may hold a conviction it will never surrender. This quiet strength is what POISON calls ‘the poison of grace and resolve’: a story that awakens the dignity and determination within its wearer.
