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.

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...
