DGENA PARIS 2023

It is a pleasure under our eyes when the hand of the creator unrolls her creations of a world where everything seems to collapse. She drags us from peaks to abysses, between the infinity of time, which sometimes is suspended, to penetrate our intimate fiber. The creator, about whom everyone speaks in Paris, sublimates the sublime, by a simple and mastered collection; couture spirit says to me the man of the Spring next to me.

VUITTON ZIP LAND

At the beginning of the show a thirteen year old aficionado tries to pass the security cordon, he gets a slap from a security guard and the MAN said: “I’ll educate you little fag”. Scary, No?

Sports mixed with couture, hardware and arcades at the Louis Vuitton show at the Louvre, which closed four weeks of runway shows.

Indian summer moment finally arrived in “Emily in Paris”, perforated leather suits featured trompe-l’oeil zips and buckles, while giant silver buttons reflected the scene like a fisheye lens.

Ghesquière used ultra-wide belts to tighten some looks, and he adorned a black leather dress with giant buckles. Additionally, the accessories, including luggage tag-shaped bags and supersized versions of the brand’s monogram canvas key pouch, heightened the sense of distortion.

Many guests started filming their own images as the circular mirrors dotted the set revolved just before the show ended. It was a fitting end to a rollercoaster season that should prompt some self-reflection, if Ghesquière is to be believed.

GIVENCHY PARIS 2023

On Sunday afternoon, a downpour right around call time for Givenchy allowed attendees to learn about the absorbent quality of cork, the material covering their seating cubes.

Matthew Williams raised set in the Jardin des Plantes offered a lovely vista indeed, a foil to his sleek, sharp brand of glamour. Although he has been working at Givenchy for more than two years already, this was the designer’s first dedicated women’s show..

Denim remains one of our fashion obsessions. One word of order dare the total look by opting for similar shades. In a silhouette composed of a bra and a low-cut skirt, or a jacket and a cargo skirt, Denim is declined through an aesthetic right in the ugly trend. Continue reading

ALAÏA AT THE MUSÉE PICASSO

On Monday, September 26th, Alaïa hosted a unique dinner at the Musée Picasso in Paris. A special event organised to celebrate the Alaïa x Picasso collaboration. The six dresses, inspired by Picasso’s Tanagras ceramics, were displayed in the courtyard of the museum. Friends of the house were invited to celebrate this exclusive collaboration between Alaïa and the Picasso Administration.

VILMORIN LOW FASHION

The designer is like a flame that we must fan, because without impetus it dies and becomes dusty. And if you let yourself look at your own genius while remaining passive, he dies, and all forget him in the silence of an intense pain that assails him. It was at the Folies Bergères, the mythical place of Parisian nights. Rochas with its complex codes, the little Vilmorin has difficulty in clinging to the philosophy of the house, his creation suffers cruelly from an identity crisis.

A fuchsia printed crop top and frou frou on the shoulder was accompanied by a skirt and trouser set and fought with a suit ivory check only wearable element in the subway. With heeled boots with laces, for an image of Pigalle not far from where the asphalt girls hung their customers, but when the designer thinks surrealism, he dreams of a pipe.

The fashion show ended with a transparent blouse and a hoop skirt. Vilmorin pure product of the asocial media more than anything else, the 25-year-old is still looking for his style. This cursed little painter has too big a job to do for his and someone else’s brand, and we shouldn’t expect more from him in my opinion. But history will tell if I was right or not. To the damned souls, value does not wait for the number of years either.

BURBERRY AND LEE

After five years as Burberry’s chief creative officer, Riccardo Tisci is stepping down. His last show for the brand took place on Monday, after the London Fashion Week show had been rescheduled due to the funeral of the Queen. Tisci’s spot at the British heritage house will be filled by Daniel Lee, the former creative director of Bottega Veneta.

His appointment reinforces the ambitions Burberry has for the future, as he has a unique understanding of today’s luxury consumer. Daniel Lee grew up in Bradford. He graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 2010 with a master’s degree under the tutelage of Louise Wilson .

He completed his internships at Margiela and Balenciaga, under the direction of Nicolas Ghesquière. In 2012, he joined Céline in Paris under the direction of Phoebe Philo, first hired in the design team, and later became the ready-to-wear director.

ARMANI THE ARTIST

In Giorgio Armani’s via Borgonuovo palazzo’s basement theater, models walked down the runway with an easterly breeze blowing through. Featuring gold-embossed bamboo poles, the invitation to the show revealed a collection inspired by sun-drenched climes and luxurious relaxation.

Despite the breezy and sometimes beachy silhouettes, models didn’t walk barefoot inside the palazzo. The girls wore sneakers, some of which were covered in iridescent fabric, as well as flat sandals and shoes.

Fashion designers in Europe are still pondering how to dress their post-lockdown customers, so they have turned to eveningwear and everyday glamour. Currently, they’re wearing sequins with sneakers, diaphanous fairy princess fabrics and biker boots, and embellishments and beading that were previously reserved for special occasions.

GUCCI SOW MUST GO ON

Who knows the gemellity? This cramped place where for nine months, it was necessary to cohabit with an apostate, sectarian, in a word a human Knockoff! So here is the Gucci fashion show in “twin” twice as many clothes twice as much trash, twice as much incoherence! I would have preferred the Twin Cilynder of the Harley-Davidson softer to my ear as Artemis would have liked. Is it a reflection on the identity “to be equal is to be identical? Subject that gives the artistic director of Gucci an intrigue, and dividing the audience into two parts by twin portraits. The botoxed and surgically enhanced bimbos who all look the same on one side, and the others who look like nothing.

Welcome to “Twinsburg”, a town in Ohio transported to Milan, and to have kept the secret of 68 pairs of twins, for a reflection on identity and particularism was a tour de force. The twins have something disturbing especially for others, but beyond the visual appeal and conceptual interpretations, on the solidarity of twins Michele really wants to exploit, or not.

FUNERAL DECODING

As well as purity, pearls are also associated with tears and the British royal family. She previously wore the same coatdress to last year’s G7 summit in Cornwall, England, in white as well. Wearing the queen’s Japanese pearl choker consists of four strands joined by a diamond clasp, she paired it with a black hat with a netted veil.

Meghan Markle wore a black cape dress by Stella McCartney, who also designed the halter top dress she wore to her wedding reception. Previously, she wore a navy dress by McCartney.

In addition to the hat, Markle wore a Stephen Jones hat with a wide brim. Markle’s pearl earrings are believed to have been a gift from the queen for their first joint engagement together after she married Prince Harry.

Here is the difference between a girl from Hollywood boulevard who wears an outfit from an “ex space girls”, and the European chic of a lady Kate who dresses at a true designer Alexander Mac Queen.

FORD DRIVE ONE

It was reported in July that Tom Ford was considering selling his brand. Industry talk has suggested the deal might be worth $3 billion, but the designer has said little since then.
In light of that, it’s no wonder he put on the razzle dazzle tonight, bringing in Madonna, Chris Rock, and Ciara, among others, and presenting a collection with Hollywood Boulevard and Elvis-in-Las Vegas vibes, with pastel lamé, Nudie Suits, and black lace.
