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.
YVES SAINT LAURENT
With a slew of beautifully rendered dresses cut from jersey in two different weights, one heavier and opaque, giving a more constructed look, while the other lighter, Vaccarello explored all the draping and hooding.
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.

VUITTON HAPPINESS THERAPY
It’s the first major initiative launched by Jean Arnault since he was appointed at the brand, the crown jewel of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, as director of marketing and product development for watches one year ago. A very long training period in fact!
Louis Vuitton is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its signature Tambour watch with the appointment of its first dedicated brand ambassador for timepieces. The youngest son of LVMH chairman and chief executive officer Bernard Arnault, he joined his four siblings at the family-controlled luxury goods giant. The family is like an archipelago, Don’t you think?
“The choice of Bradley Cooper is a match made in heaven,” Jean Arnault told. “He’s an exceptionally talented and versatile actor, and in that sense, you can draw a parallel with the Tambour watch, which has also revealed a variety of facets since its launch in 2002, both traditional but also extremely contemporary,” Arnault said. A star is born.
