Paul & Joe


Nous avons eu la chance d'assister au défilé Paul & Joe qui a eu lieu le 30 septembre au Grand Palais. On nous a accueillit avec une bière et des cadeaux de la marque: une pochette imprimée de deux hiboux, animal préféré de la créatrice et que l'on a d'ailleurs retrouvé dans la collection, et un vernis.


C'est Lindsey Wixon qui ouvre le défilé dans un costume aux motifs fleuris, sur la chanson Sans mensonge, qui donne déjà le ton de la collection mixant style parisien et far west. Si l'on devait retenir une caractéristique de cette collection, ce serait surement les motifs, tout aussi nombreux que variés: fleurs, rayures, hiboux... imprimés évoquant l'esprit western de la collection, accentué par des chapeaux et des vestes en cuir, des jupes en denim dont les boutons remplissent la fonction braguette et des pantalons fermés par un fil.

Quand aux influences parisienne, on les retrouve dans l'élégance des tenues, dans les cols claudine, dans les pantalons droits s'associant à une chemise transparente et dans les robes blanche tantôt complétées par un collier hibou, tantôt par un sac en cuir à franges. 

Vestiaire à la fois urbain et campagnard, on ne sait pas si celle qui défile est une pure parisienne fan de films western où si c'est une fillette se baladant dans une prairie le sourire au lèvres, portant une salopette où flottant dans une robe en mousseline imprimées.

Nous retrouvons également des robes délicates, tantôt longues flottant au vent, tantôt courtes, blanches, qui rappellent les balades champêtres et qui ont un coté très pur. Ces tenues qui nous font presque penser à une photographie, à un tableau.

On aime le mélange des imprimés  qui donnent cette pointe d'audace et de créativité.

La femme Paul & Joe de l'été 2015 est donc une française fan de cowboys, rurale, simple mais très élégante.  Cela apporte donc une touche d'originalité, car nous avons l'habitude de voir de pures parisiennes sur les podiums et le défilé Paul & Joe aura su nous faire nous évader et nous détendre.

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...

Reliving the 1920's with modern designers

Designers' purpose doesn't only consists with finding what are going to be the new trends. Indeed, it is absolutely essential for them to look forward and create a new fashion which is going to be the illustration of our era, but it is also important for them to explore past. Fashion is much more than art, not only does it reflect our personnality and place us in the time where we belong, but it also allow us to travel through space and time. Watching a fashion shows inspired by the 1920's, the 1950's or the 1960's is like travelling in time and living through an era we never got the chance to know. That's why fashion is so powerful and why we got the idea to share with you pictures of collections which main inspiration is the twenties. So watch and be carried away to the roaring twenties. This shot was taken from backstage at John Galliano Spring Summer 2012, a show we actually got the chance to attend. It looks just like a bunch of young ladies in the...
