It is Saturday balmain

Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing left a letter on the seats that expressed his thought process for this collection. “One of the most fascinating things about designing is the – for lack of a better word – “therapeutic value” of what we create. Clothing changes self-perceptions – after all, isn’t that the whole point of this industry?” The collection stood at a cross-roads of cultural influences and the desert exploration embodied a metaphor for creation.

In December 1953, Coco Chanel began her incredible return to center stage. The designer reopens her Haute Couture house after fifteen years of absence.

The Return retraces this determining period, that shaped the legend of the designer of rue Cambon forever. The Return, imagined, written and directed by Karl Lagerfeld, features Geraldine Chaplin in the role of Gabrielle Chanel, Rupert Everett, Anna Mouglalis, Lady Amanda Harlech, Arielle Dombasle, Kati Nescher, Vincent Darré and Sam McKnight.

For the Burberry Prorsum Menswear Autumn/Winter 2015 Collection Christopher Bailey shifted direction with a collection labelled ‘Classical Bohemian. Inspired by the dandy decadence that marked the end of the Sixties’ menswear explosion, the show added a whole new swathe of surfaces and details to the label’s existing palette: faded tapestry florals, plush leopard-prints, saturated velvets, thickly-fringed blankets and shimmering Rajasthan mirror work.  Continue reading

Alexander Wang said he started working on his new Balenciaga collection by thinking about Cristóbal’s original clientele. Wang’s shapes were straight out of the archives: a cocoon coat, rounded jackets with stand-up collars, bubble skirts—all of it decorated to the hilt with paste jewelry, like the ladies would’ve done back in the day, only with the real stuff.  Continue reading

The Fendi 2015 fall/winter collection pushed the notion further by making every jacket and coat fully reversible. For a moment, Venturini Fendi even considered sending the collection down the catwalk one way, flipping it inside out, and sending the entire collection out again. “The collection looks completely different when it’s reversed,” she said. “It’s like the peekaboo effect in clothes.” Or like the brown suede coat that flipped to gray leather.
