French term

interprète une quadrilogie

French to English Marketing Textiles / Clothing / Fashion press release
XXX interprète une quadrilogie au fil des collections sur le thème des Quatre Eléments dont le second opus s’est joué avec l’Eau pour la saison Automne-Hiver 2012.

Again it is a press release about a collection of jewels. I cannot find a good way to translate the first part of the sentence.

Thank you again for your help

So how about forgetting it and leading right up to the 4 elements
