Genius John or Maison Margiela Artisanal Fall/Winter 2016

It is a renewed sense of outward-looking engagement in Galliano’s Maison Margiela Artisanal Fall/Winter 2016.His collection mixed up fragments of technical urban streetwear with references to French revolutionary times, including a swaggering military greatcoat and a tricorne hat, worn at a jaunty angle, which might almost have been purloined from Napoleon’s own wardrobe.All the followers  of John Galliano’s early work knows that the designer has had a career-long romance with French Revolution , which began with Les Incroyables, his graduation collection from Central Saint Martins, shown in 1984. In his new Artisanal Galliano even reffering back to his earlest work-it seems he reprised an idea for a muslin dress, embroidered with red lace from a collection he once did about the post-revolutionary Merveilleuses. In any case it is  Galliano’s love of the empire line in general was evident here.The collection felt like the best marriage yet of Margiela and Galliano. It has long been a Galliano-ism to put clothes on upside down and back to front, it is a part of his experimental mission to question tradition and find new forms in clothing,a process that he has extending into wrapping, draping, and twisting swags of fabric to create new volumes.It’s also an on-point participation of the world of young fashion nowadays.

Chanel Fall/Winter 2016 -Paris Haute Couture Week

In the old days, Coco Chanel invited her audience to shows in her house, but this time the house came to the audience. Karl Lagerfeld know for putting on elaborated shows for the world’s most famous brands, transformed yesterday Paris’s Grand Palace into Chanel Atelier, Modezar shipped the entire staff of the ateliers, which are housed on Rue Cambon—along with their dummies, sewing machines, cutting tables, fabrics, embroidery materials, canvas toiles, every specialist tool of the trade— and asked them to carry on working as usual in their transplanted environment. In the Chanel haute Couture f/w 2016 collection were cropped tweed wide-leg pantsuits, and  extraordinarily wide, flatly squared-off shoulders .Intricate floral emboidery decorated some Looks which were worn with the kitten-heeled, ankle-hugging black suede boots.

Elsa Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2016 by Bertrand Guyon. #PCHW

In his third couture collection- Schiaparelli Haute Couture F/W 2016– Guyon explored Schiaparelli’s summer 1938 circus show, a collection so iconic he expressed anxiety at the thought of reprising it. The risk paid off. It was his best judged effort so far, faithful in spirit and silhouette to Schiaparelli’s work, but not slavish about it.The collection was rather subdued, with elegant, even streamlined black and midnight blue tailoring and dresses. Guyon said he found many pieces in the archive in that deep shade of navy. The two nods in Schiaparelli’s eccentric direction were the extreme, built-up shoulder constructions and the lighthearted, somewhat surrealistic jewelry.
