Breaking news in the fashion world: Alexandre Vauthier, the maestro of glamour, has slammed the door on his own couture house! Just seven months after Revolve, the Californian online shopping giant, got its hands on his brand, the designer decided he’d had enough. Clearly, art and algorithms don’t mix well.
After 15 years of lighting up red carpets and making Beyoncé and Madonna’s shoulders shine, Vauthier reportedly said “ciao” with flair taking a few stylists with him, just to avoid leaving alone.
His departure comes as the house has been struggling since 2021, when the Paris Commercial Court decided a little judicial restructuring wouldn’t hurt the books. After being auctioned off in a high-fashion bidding war, it was Revolve that ultimately took the prize. Jackpot: €250,000 for a Parisian couture house the price of a good Hermès bag and a half. A golden deal for the Americans, who in return promised a nice €6 million investment. Let’s hope it wasn’t in Trump crypto.
An unknown beauty being plucked from obscurity to walk designer runways is a fashion tale as old as time. But when applied to the new face of Céline’s Fall 2015 campaign, Martinique’s own Karly Loyce, it seems like a story we’ve never heard the likes of before.
The Paris Fashion Week starts with our favorite fashion designers, Yassen Samouilov et Livia Stoianova while extreme heat affects Paris. They both arrived in Paris with one passion: Fashion. In few years, their talent and creativity is recognised worldwide and even Madonna, the Ambassador of the fashion house.
