Viktor & Rolf Couture Spring 2015


La dernière collection Viktor & Rolf a prouvé au monde de la mode que celle-ci est un art à part entière et que les vêtements peuvent être de véritables oeuvres d'art. Inspirés par les peintures de Vincent Van Gogh, les deux stylistes nous ont présenté une collection dans laquelle la forme et le volume prennent une importance capitale. Les fleurs imprimées paraissent sortir littéralement du vêtement, telle une naissance, pour embrasser le monde. Elles poussent sans limites, dessinant la forme de la robe et parfois rencontrant les épis de blé qui forment les chapeaux de pailles. Une image qui nous rappelle les champs de blé de Van Gogh. Quand aux couleurs, elles occupent au fil de la collection l'espace qui leur est destiné, finissant par se mélanger et donner encore plus d'intérêt visuel. Une collection qui respire l'art et la grandeur - au sens propre et littéral.

The last Viktor & Rolf collection proved the fashion world that fashion is an art in its own right and that clothes can be true pieces of art. Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's paintings, the two stylists introduced us a collection in which shape and volume are of prime importance. The printed flowers seem to literally get out of the dress, as a birth, to embrace the world. They grow with no limits, drawing the shape of the dress and sometimes meeting the ears of wheat of which the straw hat is made. A picture that reminds us of Van Gogh's wheatfields. As for the colors, they fill, as the show goes on, the space that belongs to them, ending up mixing themselves and getting even more visually interesting. A collection that exudes art and greatness.

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...

CHANEL supermarket 2014-2015

"C'est la première fois que je mets les pieds dans un supermarché. C'est fou - fascinant ce que l'on peut acheter" avait déclaré Karl Lagerfeld lors d'une interview pour le magazine ELLE, en 2012. Eh bien pour son défilé, Chanel a monté un supermarché au Grand Palais, ce qui en a impressionné plus d'un. Une mise en scène exceptionnelle rappelant l'excellence de la maison Chanel. Les tenues et accessoires correspondaient complètement au décor: pochettes Chanel posées dans des petits paniers, sacs à main en forme de bouteille de lait sur lesquelles figurent les inscriptions "lait de coco". Superpositions qui n'en finissent pas et assemblages de matières et de motifs différents ont composés le défilé Chanel. Nous avons craqué pour les leggings en latex, départagés entre le côté chic et sportwear représentatif de l'ensemble de la collection. En effet le mélange de styles était omniprésents: entre les fameux colliers à...
