Ulyana Sergeenko Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 – Glamour pure!

Ulyana Sergeenko Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 Collection.
Communal Apartments in the USSR aren’t generally associated with glamour, yet the Kazakhstan-born designer presented her own dramatic, glitzy version of living conditions under Marxism-Leninism.
 There were long hems, lampshade volumes and soft fabrics like velvet and satin for the once grandes dames, ex-owners of the 10-room homes they now shared with peasants dressed in traditional motifs – one black-and-white dress with a lace panel representing a squirrel paired with a fur bonnet stood out .And the festive spirit was still there, explored through a series of naïf draped or plissé dresses covered in embroidered and printed confetti, and not-so innocent boudoir pieces in embroidered pale blue silk and peach crêpe. A bejewelled babydoll dress worn with a velvet-and-fur ice-cream cone bag had a whiff of Mikhail Bulgakov to it. Flower embroideries in a burgundy jacket-and-skirt ensemble turned the model into a poupée russe. But that’s where Sergeenko’s talent lies: in thoroughly exploring Russian imagery, and almost (if not quite) giving it a humorous Twist.
Top model Natalia Vodianova,one of the best friends of Ulyana said :
„It’s a brand that has an incredible potential. … I actually have a big passion for craftsmanship and I think that Ulyana is an incredible force behind Russian craftsmanship.
She’s gathering young and old women from all over Russia in her atelier in Moscow. She now has over 100 full-time people employed in embroidering, carving and doing beading and all kinds of work that goes into her collection.
Ulyana is the reason that all women in Moscow dress like princesses.“

Zuhair Murad Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 Collection

Zuhair Murad Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 Collection.
Cobalt lighting warmed the atmosphere at Zuhair Murad, throwing pastels in sharp contrast to the blue tint that colored everything else. Guests floated in this otherworldly ambience until the twinkling backdrop of the runway supernova-ed into a cape beset with twinkling crystals. White crystals twinkled with red ones. Far from the old „blood on bandages“ adage against diamond-ruby pairings, these gradually eased into the multifaceted wonders of wild space.  From then on, we had lift off.
As a whole, it was very much a collection treading the fine line between burnishing the brand’s image and offering starting points for its clients‘ orders of the season. To wit, high-waisted briefs under sheer star embroideries were certainly a sexy skyclad look, but a less daring client could always order a beautiful lining to complement this proposal. Elsewhere, this weightless impression continued as every step forward revealed the sheer pleats hidden behind burgundy lamé. This collection was rife with awareness of little tricks that delight the wearer.

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 – *Gaultier goes Breton*

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture A/W 2015 -2016 Collection inspired  by Breton.
Bagpipe music, dark lighting, and sailor inspired looks all debuted at the new Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2015 couture collection in homage to Bretagne, a region in France still full of tradition.
Stunning art forms with intricate details from top to bottom with huge ball gowns, Anna Cleveland debuted the final wedding gown and it certainly deserved around of applause. Gaultier and Cleveland danced down the runway hand and hand to the song „In The Navy“ by Village People.
The Breton stripe, as worn by sailors, has become synonymous with Jean Paul Gaultier over the years.
So Wednesday’s fall-winter couture collection – inspired by the French region of Brittany – seemed like a wholly natural place for the French designer.
The results were more theatre than couture. But the exuberant couturier produced a highly infectious presentation, replete with an entire traditional Breton orchestra performing bagpipes on the runway, crepe-makers handing out delights and one model marching theatrically down in a giant patchwork couture explosion with a tube wig that had one guest weeping with laughter.
The collection saw lashings of Breton stripes, in blue and white tights, sheer black velvet blouses – and traditional lace Breton tube hats in exaggerated heights.
The Celtic Circle defined many of the silhouettes – appearing as giant circle skirts often embroidered in traditional patterns – and one gold show-stopper with black feather fringing.
Stunning art forms with intricate details from top to bottom with huge ball gowns, Anna Cleveland debuted the final wedding gown and it certainly deserved around of applause. Gaultier and Cleveland danced down the runway hand and hand to the song „In The Navy“ by Village People.
In the front row :
Catherine Deneuve applauded enthusiastically from the front row alongside American actress Michelle Rodriguez.
„I’ve loved Gaultier since I was in my twenties,“ Rodriguez told The Associated Press. „He’s just got always that edge, you know? He’s like an artist and he’s never scared.“

Maison Margiela Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 Artisanal Artistry ccollection designed by John Galliano – Paris Haute Couture Week

John Galliano’s first Parisian Margiela  Show!The Show which all Fashion world has been attending !
The cast of Alice In Wonderland from Margiela, by John Galliano. Great, is a Haute Couture! John Galliano can do anything, his creations are unique! And he did it – John Galliano mixed his own eccentric style with that of Maison Margiela to come up with a masterwork of innovative and unique fashions.
Galliano is a genius: who could ever think of wearing a gray male suit as a brave mini, moreover with green amorphous adding of fabric right in front? Then comes the match of a suit as a top for a green skirt, which the model rocks with hair gathered back so tight that she seemed bald from the front. However, these greens were only a preheat move: here comes the green wrap! Yes, the dress on the girl makes her look like she is wrapped under the thick bundle of layers, though she seems to like it.
The balance should be kept: after the wrap outfit there goes the nicest coatdress imaginable! The color, collar, lotus shaped bottom make us fall for this gorgeous simplicity. The following idiomatic garments gave fresh ideas to those, who want to have a mixed emerging of fairytale, eccentricity and style. The ideas of Galliano do not seem to be lacking to the smallest extent. Who, on earth, could imagine that burlap sack will make a fine fabric for a chick outfit? Impressionist pictures are made into fine shirts matched with skinny skirts, though we are in two minds about the electric blue top.
Galliano surfed the world to hand his much-needed materials – mud silk lining from China, tapestry from France, raffia from Madagascar and, undoubtedly, tweeds from Britain – to create these masterpieces. The show kicked off with total black numbers. The public immediately felt for those pieces that covered 70% skin and looked so elegant. At first sight, these might seem simple but then you see the masterful handwork of detail – asymmetrical sleeves, skirts, double pocket lines on one side and a single one on the other, half-torn fabrics and unimaginable necklines mostly at the back. Then followed a unique coat-like dress composed of a thick grey sweater with leather accessory, and a strange skirt, which was simply tied at the top with a thin black belt. Messy this might sound, but the look is quite nice and unusual with its best connotation
Maybe this is a key point for the whole Maison Margiela Couture fall 2015 collection: the color appears in details on every other model – crazy eye makeup, even half-painted face, lips and a turban.
As the line closes to the end, the characters coming out become increasingly more mind-blowing. Paint covers half dress and half the model, another comes out in a sliced dress with hair half gathered tightly and half made into a messy ban. A net dress follows her with wholly clipped head (of course covered in those). At the very end arrives time most anticipated by all “Lady Gagas” – marieé steps on the catwalk in a wedding gown made from plastic bag trompe l’oeil tulle as a veil. This was a real shock! Galliano script shines at its best.
The accessories and footwear adding to the chic of the Maison Margiela Couture fall 2015 fashion line corresponded to the atmosphere of chic with hundred and ten percent. Shoes with half-circled mirror heels, though a little difficult to walk on, completed the crazy characters perfectly. The makeup artists and hair designers created fully conforming looks – netlike eyes, large buns, wigs of varying colors in the form of huge flowers alongside natural, almost bare faces and classic bobs and waves.
