Whatever the contrasts in fabrics and shapes, this collection is solid to be equal of the half-dozen most strong shows in forge, one whose enthusiastic juxtaposition of lamellar sequins and strict silvery metallics with arty graphics and studded leather will assail a mephitic flair agenda worldwide.
Staged in the Hostelry Crillon in central Paris, the collecting was futurist, still never too much so. There was a firm incomplete of heads along the front-row of the twisting catwalk, as the editors, stylists and critics drank in the accumulation with their eyes – from plasticized silk woven dresses answerable to sunset red leather motorbike jackets to the hyacinthine punky, short trousers and gentlemanly tucker shirts with face tails that wish be de rigueur purchases.
Quirkiness was ostensible in the culottes made of fictile, or the shortened skirts that were semi simple almost to the crotch. But the spirit not under any condition strayed into the farcical. There was not whole infirm look in this gathering, backed with proper gravitas nigh music from Handel.
