A FRENCH GIRL DUBBED BY ANNA WINTOUR

THEALLET CANAL

Sophie Theallet is a French fashion designer whose clients include First Lady Michelle Obama and she is promoted by the famous American fashion gourou, Anna Wintour, herself.

Sophie Theallet, inspired by French Casual Chic, designs swatches of lace wrapped around models’ necks which pushed the romance or the flirty vibe which seems slightly fussy. There were a few stumbles — quite literally as the final model tried to make her way up and down the runway in her gold full-length ruffled dress, but no stumbles for Sophie, who for a long time has been considered as a very promising designer. She successfully combines a Spain trip with a France 1950’s and, thus, reinvents the casual chic.

It is always extraordinary that such French fashion designers have to go abroad to be recognised. This is surely due, still the same problem, a lack of professionalism and agoraphobia from the people who lead the Federation or institutions governing fashion in France!!!

Anyway, at Canal-Luxe group, we will be delighted to report on you if you come to present your collection. We will put at your disposal our Continue reading

MARCO DE VINCENZO

Marco de Vincenzo, Ready to Wear Collection, Spring Summer 2015 in Milan“Only in Italy could the silken fringes that were once associated with flapper girls in the Twenties seem so sophisticated. Marco de Vincenzo is a master of embellishment – especially for a relatively young designer. The exceptional skills at what he himself calls “controlled complication” brought him to the attention of Fendi, which offers support through its parent group LVMH.

As a designer he also seems intensely Italian in his desire to elaborate clothes in an artistic way, with the silken threads morphing into embroidered flowers. All that in one outfit? This compression is Marco de Vincenzo’s exceptional skill, so that a coat might have squares with woven strips of python and a skirt be interwoven with chiffon.

Each outfit would require a paragraph to describe, yet the clothes seemed so simple. And that is the originality and the strength of the Marco story.” Continue reading

THE THREAD ARIANE

To do the splits between her own brand and Leonard’s brand, it will be very difficult. But it is a very good collection Haute Couture, like the thread of Ariane .

YIQING YIN models loose shapes with a staggering structure, whilst at the same time remaining within the limits of patterned designs, confessing her attraction for a method of creation which is intuitive, a sensory wandering, and the search for voluntary accidents. Sensory wandering and looking for a voluntary error as the stupidity of Cambrai candy, she said.

The more difficult it is to overcome its own culture to meet another corporate culture, and that before her next challenge to come up with Leonard to be or not to be a part of the small world of Mr Grumbach Haute Couture. According to statistics, every designer who works for Léonard becomes a “Grand Couturier”. That’s the way is;
