Maison Martin Margiela Menswear Spring/Summer 2016 –

Paris Fashion Week, June 26,2015 .
The collection is great, is Maison Margiela had a minimal moment with its spring-summer 2016 menswear collection. Always known for its tailoring and experimentation, the fashion brand approached the season with a more wearable attitude.
John Galliano’s appointment as Creative Director of Maison Margiela last October resulted in huge hype and anticipation. There was no sign of it subsiding in the run-up to Friday’s presentation of the brand’s spring/summer 2016 menswear collection in Paris. There was only one problem. No involvement from Galliano. Moments before the show began, Margiela representatives confirmed this collection was designed by the design team or, in brand parlance, “the collective”. The sense of anticlimax was understandable.
Galliano’s influence would have meant a kind of flamboyance. Famous for post-show outfits that have included an astronaut and a matador, this fantastical approach – and penchant for catwalk drama – has fuelled his menswear designs. By contrast, the clothes here were wearable, even quite conservative, particularly for a house that, since it was founded by the Belgian designer Martin Margiela in 1988, has showcased all manner of catwalk oddness – including masks, oversized fur coats and jewelled vests for men.
There were beautifully cut, slim, sharp suits, and easy sportswear in hooded tops and simple sweaters. A few elements marked out the collection’s Margiela-ness: rubber tops with paper patches like papier-mache, drawing-pin detailing on jacket lapels, and beaten-up boots. The result was a fairly typical mix of minimalism, hand-finished details and deconstructed classics. Not quite the Galliano reboot some were hoping for, but a perfectly nice collection.
That overhaul will come, Margiela representatives promise, but Galliano’s input at the house will be a gradual process rather than an immediate shakeup. This is the third show season since the designer officially took over at the house, part of Galliano’s wider rehabilitation, in part supported by his friend the American Vogue editor, Anna Wintour. His Margiela collections to date include couture and women’s ready-to-wear.
Same time….
Interview with Renzo Rosso:
Working with John today is like having another atmosphere, everything inside the company is so magical now, even when you open the door you can feel the vibrations and now we are back with a fantastic energy and it’s so, so nice, so exciting, and also so lovely to be working with John. You can see that John started to give us some input, it’s still Margiela, very Margiela for me, thanks to Staff international, and if you can go to see closer one by one the product and look at the quality of the products and also we improved the quality of the materials and the fashion touch from John is unbelievable. It’s still Margiela but also John, so that’s great.“  Copyright : Paris Modes Productions

Menswear Spring/Summer 2016 – *Valentino* Spring/Summer 2016 Collection. Paris Fashion Week.

*Valentino*  Spring/Summer 2016 Collection by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccoli , creativ Directors
Paris Fashion Week 24 June 2015

About Brand *Valentino*:

After the departure of Valentino Garavani, in 2007, the company’s new owners, private equity firm Permira, struggled to find the right creative leadership for the business. Though still a red carpet favourite, the brand was unable to reclaim the international cachet it once had. But since 2008, when Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli took the reins as co-creative directors, the duo have taken the fashion industry by surprise, breathing new creative energy into the brand and rocketing Valentino back to the forefront of fashion. Sales have improved, and lucrative accessories now account for nearly half of sales in some stores. They have also revitalized the menswear Business.

This collection was packed with normal items that normal men will want to wear – great bombers with fun details on the back, jean jackets, Hawaiian shirts, army coats. But there was a strange air of forced nonchalance – you saw it in those souvenir jackets and you saw it in the way the show notes promised the pieces were ‘pages of a thrilling diary to be worn.‘ That’s the one thing box-fresh clothes don’t have: stories. That’s why our old favourites have such meaning – they carry with them memories. So, sure models wore jeans, but these clothes were too considered to be truly carefree or rich in narrative. Valentino is about couture-level detail, craft and luxury – when they began their menswear they even branded it ‘Couture’. They’re not the only ones trying to make new clothes look old to emphasis their value or insouciance this season, but they’re at their best when they don’t try to justify their pieces by styling them down.

Menswear Spring/Summer 2016 – Walter Van Beirendonck‘ s * Electric Eye* collection in Paris Fashion Week.

| Syuzena Pitz
Walter Van Beirendonck  * Electric Eye * Spring/Summer 2016 collection was shown yesterday,24 June 2015 in Paris Fashion Week.
Genie of Walter Van Beiendonck , his creativity is that was we like! It was a best show till now! He never got tired of fashion, i’m sure about it.
„ Dubbed Electric Eye after David Bowie’s Moonage Daydream, the collection featured suits rendered in children’s fabrics that looked like they could have been purchased at Ikea. Covered in little mushrooms, elephants and monsters they were the picture of innocence. But nothing is ever quite what it seems with Van Beirendonck – – he’d twisted this collection, making it a little sick and a little sinister. You saw it in the shoes with black bubbles around the sole as if the wearer had walked in dangerous mud and in suits that became a staring face thanks to cut outs that left the eyes sitting just in front of the wearer’s nipples.“
And not only…  see those sheer black jackets and nude latex tops… It makes Walter Van Beirendonck so unique!
Van Beirendock’s Show took place on the stage of the famous Théâtre du Châtelet. It made us thinking about spectacle and the theatre of Fashion.  What want say Walter Van Beirendonck with his *Electric Eye* collection? It sounds magical… Here are the Runway *Looks* ,  i hope you will enjoy it!

Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2015-2016 – Collection inspired by rose.

| Syuzena Pitz
Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2015-2016 ready-to-wear collection.
It has all the McQueen ingredients: drama, royalty, revolution, gothic beauty and Sarah Burton’s latest collection ticked all of the above and then some.
Alexander McQueen fall winter 2015/2016 collection is inspired by rose.
On the catwalk  Burton offered up the purest distillation of what she called „the spirit of the rose,“ a flower that begins with a tight bud that opens into a lush bloom and then eventually collapses back onto itself in gorgeous decay.
Sarah Burton explained:“I was thinking about the female form, and some pictures David Sims took of roses,” ….. “There’s such beauty in all stages of the life of a rose. So there’s this sense of a woman, who becomes slightly unraveled as she goes along and her clothing starts peeling away. . . .”
