Schiaparelli Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 Collection- Bertrand Guyon’s Debut at Maison Schiaparelli

Paris Fashion Week, Haute Couture Week, the most important Show for every Maison.

Bertrand Guyon’s debut collection for the recently re-established Italian house Schiaparelli was a strong one, in all senses of the word. Colors were bold and spirited, ranging from ruby reds and hot pinks to mermaid tones and zesty citrus hues. Clashing was also one of the collection’s main features, with loud beige plaids offset by pink furs and embellished blouses teamed with light, shimmery skirts.
There was also an emphasis on the mixing and matching of fabrics to create texture and depth. Brocade coats, sequin tops, jacquard suits, cashmere trousers, minks and tweeds all held their own alongside one another, blending together to achieve an overall effect of unconventional elegance. Meanwhile quirky accessories such as whimsical and imaginative sculpted tiaras kept things light and playful.

The collection is plenty of the couture not so much of the Leigh Bowery.

Polite elegance , with vintage Flair!

Atelier Versace Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2015 Collection – When the Art meet Fashion

Atelier Versace Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2015 Collection

Donatella Versace shown her new Haute Couture collection yesterday evening, in Paris Haute Couture Week.

It was a story of opposites on the Versace haute couture Fall/Winter 2015 catwalk, which opened the season on Sunday night. Designer Donatella Versace played with contrasting ideas – structure and flou, raw delicacy and powerful sex appeal, as well as asymmetric juxtapositions – for a rock and roll fashion fairy tale.

On a Plexiglas catwalk that encased over 25,000 orchids in shades of purple and yellow, the sprite-like Versace maidens, with their loose locks woven through with a crown of shimmering fabric flowers, took to the runway like a lineup of hippy deluxe devotees of Stevie Nicks. The music of The Doors ringing out on the sound track only accentuated the retro 70s vibe.

As backwards looking as the collection was – on the likes of Lara Stone, Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss, and Kendall Jenner – the shredded bell sleeve tops, transparent flower embellished inserts on second skin pants, and flowing chiffon dresses had a more youthful sensuality to them then has been seen on the Versace catwalk in some time. A sensation that the designer counterbalanced with some serious “These Boots Were Made for Walking” patent leather footwear.

Costume and Fashion history would not be the same without Haute Couture.

Haute Couture is a French phrase for high fashion. Couture means dressmaking, sewing, or needlework and haute means elegant or high, so the two combined imply excellent artistry with the fashioning of garments. The purchase of a haute couture model garment is at the top level of hand customised fashion design and clothing construction made by a couture design house. A model haute couture garment is made specifically for the wearer’s measurements and body stance. The made to measure exclusive clothes are virtually made by hand, carefully interlined, stay taped and fitted to perfection for each client.
