Valentino Fall 2015


Pour le dernier défilé Valentino, Maria Grazia Chiuri et Pierpaolo Piccioli nous ont présenté leur collection qui, comme toujours, respirait le romantisme. Le défilé a commencé avec des pièces modernes noires et blanches avec des imprimés graphiques, avant de devenir bohémien. La quantité de tulle, de dentelle et de mousseline a rendu cette collection, comme nous l'avons dit, romantique et sensuelle. L'inspiration principale de la collection était Emilie Louise Floge, compagne et muse du peintre Gustav Klimt, comme vous pouvez le remarquez sur les photos ci-desous. Les deux stylistes ont aussi utilisé de la fourrure, du cuir et du cachemire, car n'oublions pas qu'il s'agit d'une collection Automne/Hiver, et nous ne voulons pas avoir froid en portant du Valentino ! Le XIXème siècle était, tout comme le romantisme bohémien, une grande influence dans cette collection. Dans l'ensemble, les imprimés divers, la transparence et le minimalisme ont montré la femme Valentino comme quelqu'un de fort, fragile, romantique et gracieux à la fois. Une collection magnifique et légère à l'image de la marque. Nous nous devons de mentionner, cependant, les acteurs du film Zoolander Ben Stiller et Owen Wilson qui ont clôturé ce défilé dans un costume en satin de soie imprimé.

For the last Valentino show, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli introduced us to their collection which, as always, oozed romanticism. The show started with modern black and white pieces with graphical prints before becoming bohemian. The amount of tulle, lace and muslin made the collection, as we said, very romantic and sensual. The main inspiration of the collection was Emilie Louise Floge, pinter Gustav Klimt's partner and muse, as you can see in the photos below. The two designers used fur, leather and cashmere as well, because let's not forget that it was a Fall/Winter collection and we don't want to be cold by wearing Valentino ! The XIXth century was, along with bohemian's romanticism, a big influence in this collection. All in all, the diverse prints, the transparence and the minimalism showed the Valentino woman as someone strong, fragile, romantic and graceful all at the same time. A magnificent and light collection modelled on the brand. We must mention, though, the actors of the movie Zoolander Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson who ended the show in a silk satin printed suit.

Harry Styles, a fashion icon who breaks the rules

Harry Styles is known for being part of the well-known band One Direction, but also for his outfits and his taste for fashion. Indeed, at 21 years old only, the singer's looks helped him gained eminence in the fashion world, even though he is already considered a fashion icon. Harry's style is very particular. He usually wears extra-skinny jeans, printed shirts widely unbuttoned and boots. He wears a lot of Saint Laurent – which is doubtless his favorite brand – as well as some Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton. He kind of is the new Mick Jagger, in terms of fashion. In fact, his style could be described as rock n' roll chic, which explains his love for Saint Laurent – whose image was reinvented by Hedi Slimane . If Harry was a brand, he would definitely be Saint Laurent, which is one of the biggest names in fashion nowadays, especially in menswear. We would love seeing him walk for the iconic brand he does justice and is loyal to. But you know that for

PFW: Viktor & Rolf Couture Fall Winter 2015/2016 - "Wearable Art"

This wednesday Viktor and Rolf  presented their latest Haute Couture collection in Paris they named "Wearable Art". If you don't know it yet, the two designers revealed they would follow the steps of Jean Paul Gaultier by only focusing on Haute Couture. This show truly showed how fashion is a full art - wearable art to use their own words. While a lot of people question the true meaning of Couture, defining it as a bunch of expensive clothes you will never wear, Viktor and Rolf got things straight: fashion should not be considered only as a way to look good and following trends is boring - even though it is kind of important since it portrays a certain generation. Fashion should be considered as art on the same level as painting, architecture, poetry, music... If you are going to spend tons of money on a painting, why not on an outfit ? Both are different kinds of art. Anyway, it is interesting to see how the show evolved. The first looks consisted on denim sm
