Chanel Couture Fall 2018, ode to the parisian women

0
0

 

When it comes to putting on ready-to-wear runway shows for Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld regularly looks to and reproduces far-flung locations for inspiration. To celebrate the craft of haute couture, however, Lagerfeld stays a little closer to home, building replicas of Parisian landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or a garden park inside the Grand Palais. For Fall 2018, Chanel’s production masterminds recreated the banks of the Seine (even though the real deal is fewer than 200m away from the Grand Palais) complete with newsstands and a replica of the Académie Française. One stand, staffed by two young boys wearing “Institut Chanel” sweatshirts, was packed with books, magazines, records and keepsake photographs all featuring Coco Chanel herself.

The collection itself was quite a bit more subdued than couture fantasy, which is fitting for life in the big city. The various grey tones reflected the colors of Paris in the cooler months, and everything from chic suiting to cocktail dresses was paired with simple, sleek ankle boots in various fabrics and colors, a wardrobe staple for any metropolitan woman.

The focus here was on texture play, all the better to highlight the handiwork of Chanel’s expert embroiderers and embellishers. Beading and feathers popped off of black velvet, while metallic silks shimmered against grey tweeds. Sleeves were slit up the seams to reveal elbows, and in some cases, bright pops of color calling back to Chanel‘s Fall 2018 ready-to-wear collection.

Giorgio Armani Privé Fall 2018, the drama between slim stiffness and new frivolity

0
0

In the third section of the Giorgio Armani Privé fall / winter 2018 show, there are some wild explosions in volumes and colors, but a good part of these 97 looks is elegant and sinuous as a comma. Giorgio Armani has in fact been busy making the drama dance in moderation, and for the duration of his monochromatic section, he has succeeded.

In fact, those slim black sheaths in velvet or crepe, some adorned with trompe l’oeil beaded ribbons, others garnished with large bows on the neckline, are some of the best ideas you’ve ever had in these years. Very seductive, even those without straps, which skirts have a split that reveals an ivory panel, combined with velvet coats with sleeves adorned with jewels, all perfectly fitting, but without being cheeky.

Classic, yes, but when it’s well done, it’s hard to beat, especially in the splendid new location of Giorgio Armani, the extraordinarily large Italian embassy.

Created to satisfy every need of a jet set woman’s wardrobe, Giorgio Armani presents well-equipped evening jackets, paired with razor-sharp cocktail trousers and headdresses made of tulle and sequins, which perfectly complement these trouser-suits outfit .
For gala evenings and red carpet there is no lack of empire-style dresses made with strawberry-colored tulle or dresses with sequined plaits on an airy chiffon.

The great mastery of Giorgio Armani is finally shown in its entirety, in an enormous cloak composed entirely of a melange of pink feathers. A piece suitable to attract the least attention!

Maison Margiela fall-winter 2018 Artisanal collection: Real-virtual Couture

“An exercise for the mind”. It is with this sentence that John Galliano announces today his Artisanal fall-winter 2018 collection for Maison Margiela, brand of which he is the creative director since January 2015. Creating High Fashion is not only a technical practice but also a way to keep that part in training of the brain that on other occasions is not used, at least not so much. See under prêt-à-porter, where creativity often accompanies commercial needs. There are those who manage to do it with cunning, keeping up the conceptual thickness of the clothes, and those who lose the compass and sail through tormented seas, creating disastrous samples supported only by a handful of accessories, functional to the sale and maintenance of the brand. Margiela, for its part, resides in the first group.

The English designer realizes in his latest Couture collection for the fashion house in Paris, his idea of ​​nomadic glamour, arose from a question that he posed: “What’s the meaning of the word cool?”. Above all today the self interfaces with its digital part several times a day, through different devices such as iPads or iPhones, and programs like Instagram and Facebook. The subject is no longer realized in the flesh but in avatars and filters. And so here are not models, but the vision of the media space in which we live “as nomads” by Galliano.

A high fashion défilé can afford to dare, to go beyond expectations. It is not fashion, rather it is traced in the category of art. Especially from the point of view of the risk that is faced, when the de-construction of a coat is added on top of another, with extra volumes and fluorescent colors, perhaps in foam. Tulle dresses, light and with a bon ton cut, combine with dizzying mary jane shoes in platform version. And the boldness of materials and silhouette, appropriate to the occasion, is taught by the designer himself, who uses to host young interns from fashion schools every month, to let them know the profession of tailor, of the couturier. He also tells it in the podcasts available on iTunes, published in the last hours, inaugurating the show.

The liquidity of the zeitgeist, wandering aimlessly can be risky, especially if you do not have the tools to control the unexpected, the infinite, the feeling of power offered by the absence of space-time boundaries. But not for Maison Margiela, not for the concept behind Artisanal. Not for the Haute Couture.

Elie Saab Couture Fall 2018, a true journey into opulence

0
0

 

In a haute couture season in which the client is the queen, it would be rare to find a more relevant collection than Elie Saab‘s, staged today at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs.

For Saab, her women always come first, above all artistic foaminess or the inevitable sea storm of fashion that sometimes lets elegance and glamor slip. And his women come to him because they know how to enjoy the trust that comes from exquisite and well-placed embroidery; a coherent palette of neutral tones and gems and technical mastery to allow super-high slits without the risk of compromise.

This season, Saab found inspiration from Gaudí‘s luminescent, capriciously irregular and rigorously aspirational masterpieces. This added an elegant verticality to embroideries, both on a ball-necked prom dress and an ornate, vaguely matadorese tuxedo jacket.
A brocade coat with a shawl collar, cut like a bathrobe, is encrusted with gilded and colored Gaudí-style pearls and combined with a sheathed-effect mini.

The ensemble alludes to rock’n’roll and some to the royals, and could divide both worlds in a nutshell.

Finally, a series of evening dresses, mostly in rich tones of gems (emerald, amethyst, garnet), but also in a gray and white Gaudí-like shadow print, whose sculptural ripples take the place of any other form of ornament. The best ones are obviously in silk chiffon, impeccably flattering and fluctuating.

Jean Paul Gaultier Couture Fall 2018, social battles parade on the catwalk

0

It has been banned in public, but smoking, the theme of autumn-winter couture, has not clearly been banned as a source of fashion inspiration. The unusual homage of Jean-Paul Gaultier to one of the dirtiest and most glamorous habits in the world, parades on the catwalk in a typically ironic collection of 73 different looks.

A black tuxedo jacket bears the inscription “Gaultier Smoking” on the front, a play on the French term “smoking” meant as a jacket and the same in English that refers to smoking, in a myriad of black and white deconstructions of tuxedo look while tulle masks followed white feather boas that floated in the air like smoke.

A surreal variation of the red hat of Fez of Morocco, a country famous for its shisha pipes, makes its appearance by covering the face and the slits of the eyes and its red tassels seem to fall like tears. Gaultier has also made fun of the conventions using the cigarette, the number one enemy of health authorities around the world, as the inspiration for most of his jewels.

But the final creation, a giant silver wedding veil, was the most creative aspect. Its shimmering five-meter train was so diaphanous that it moved the air, increasing the trail of smoke.

 

 

The French fashion icon Jean-Paul Gaultier has also opened a new front in the battle for bras with the slogan “Free the nipples”, showing his support for a teenager in Florida who have blindfolded her breasts in front of all the high school as a punishment for not wearing a bra under his sweatshirt.

And to beat the point Jean-Paul Gaultier staged a man and a woman on the catwalk, obviously bare-chested, each wearing transparent detective visors with the words “Free the nipples” in French and English.

Thank you Jean Paul Gaultier for your ode to freedom.

Viktor & Rolf Couture Fall 2018, futurism with a hint of nostalgia

The brilliant dutch duo Viktor & Rolf celebrated their quarter of a century with an all-white collection showing their dizzying creativity ready to challenge any convention.

“We wanted a clean blackboard,” said Rolf Snoeren, the most talkative half of the avant-garde pair.

And in fact, they let their imagination run wild with a caramel-like tulle dress that almost seems to be bitten by a giant monster, a heart-shaped harlequin suit, and a diamond-studded style quilted dress with a formed collar from satin cushions.

The vaulted sleeves and accordion-style pleats in Elizabethan style, worn by some models, seem to bring us back in time, while the huge thick sleeves exaggerated on a last silver-white coat make the wearer look like an archangel of the future.

In this mix of Viktor & Rolf between past and future there is also a look and a review of archives that have triggered in their memories both beautiful and ugly, of their personal lives.
In this wake, a voluminous ball gown sheathed in a layer of decadent wool, based on their first dress, stood out on everyone. (The original was instead presented at the Hyères festival in 1993, won by the designer and was in silver and gray.)

An accordion jacket with a fan of white-collar shirts comes from the Viktor & Rolf collection, “One Woman Show” in autumn 2003 starring Tilda Swinton. Other brilliant moments included a remake of a tulle dress with clean holes sculpted in the skirt (from the rtw spring 2010 collection and originally in pink) made using one of their secret formulas.

Valentino Couture Fall 2018, an unprecedented standing ovation

0
0

 

The Parisian couture week rarely sees a standing ovation. Even more rare is the scream that echoes around the golden halls of the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild while Pierpaolo Piccioli walks on the catwalk following the Valentino collection.

In this season his vision involves a mashup of Greek mythology, paintings from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Pasolini’s films and photographs of Deborah Turbeville and medieval armor. He looks crazy, but the result is magnificent.

Brilliant shades, floral headdresses and fantasy separé, impress the fans of Valentino, with over-the-top designs, perhaps the greatest of a lifetime, but above all is the passion of Piccioli for voluminous clothes (and equally voluminous hair) which actually steals the scene.

A giant brushed back wig, a destructured celadon blue silk dress and an intricate inlaid cloak; this is how the show opens with 63 looks in perfect exaggerated style, typical of the era of the Sun King. It took 1,120 hours to do. The dress is described by Piccioli as “The Renaissance meets Versailles that meets the ’60s, which meets something else” but the truth is much more fabulous: it is not a set of references, but it is the dream of a dress, which it is precisely the role that couture should play, frankly.

Regardless of whether it is made of feathers or taffeta, it is clear that Piccioli has certainly highlighted, in this Valentino Couture collection, his “more and more” approach in dressing the proportions of large volumes, and also seems not to have no intention to slow down.

In fact, here is the model Kaia Gerber appear on the catwalk, in a cloud of pink feathers, impersonating what is probably the current aspect of Versailles, in our wildest imagination.

The unisex products are all handmade by a family company in the wonderful Italian Dolomites and 3D printing technology is used to produce rims and frames for lenses that result in substantially less waste.

When it comes to sustainable products, there is always the fear that the items are not as elegant as the others on the market, but this is not the case with Wires. The 2.0 collection presents a selection of trendy glasses that includes a circular silhouette with yellow colored lenses, a teardrop silhouette and a futuristic crescent shape that will become the accessory par excellence of the next fashion week.

The six-piece collection includes three hooded sweatshirts, drawstring and kangaroo style pockets and three t-shirts in bright pink, yellow and black, all with sorority style graphics.
