20 years, where 10 of mine were too

за последние 10 лет я очень редко закрывала вкладку с их сайтом, потому что там всегда были и самые интересные новости, и крутейшие коллаборации, и музыка с подкастами вживую там мне даже удалось встретить Жан Клода Ван Дама и Эль Фанинг я конечно уже и не рассчитываю побывать в Париже, но если вдруг это случится, то на рю сэн оноре пойду положу две ромашки

 for last 10 years I rarely closed the tab with their site, because there is always were most interesting news and coolest collaborations and the music with podcasts I even had an opportunity to see alive Jean Claude Van Dame and Elle Fanning of course I don't count on visiting Paris ever again, but if it will happen suddenly I'd go to rue saint honoré and put two daisies there and somewhere in Bergamo I've lost my favorite lighter that I bought there.

he's a genius, no questions asked

I imagine if it was a task in some fashion school to play with trench theme. Everyone took their time and thought of one and only trench to be made. And one very up-and-coming student, let's say his name is John, took this task too seriously and created a lot of modifications. No surprise if number of modifications was larger than in final selection. But 25 remarkable images that we see today is a permanent proof of his offbeat extraordinary persona.
Besides there is some little play with nordic sweater, maybe he wanted us to think of aristocracy that spends their vacation in Alps. Why I say aristocracy ? Because there is fantastic jacquard, a lot of chiffon, and few large sequins just to spice it up a little bit. And main color of shoes is gold - wealth, also blue - think royal blood.

And do you see that this particular trench(corset) is inspired by (I suppouse) ?

Cardboard + La Victoire de Samothrace , eternal and temporal.

all that glitters... not at all

If you ever got caught by the rain not having an umbrella, you use your jacket or bag. That is what designers of A.F. Vandevorst made clearly the main message of their couture collection. Or maybe the main message was shiny textures. Latex, glittering cuissardes and embroided velvet.

Either way you should see everything in movement, models walks like Diva Plavalaguna, every look is changing with the different angle. Worth to see and listen to soundtrack of course.



воздушное розовое / airy pink

Giambattista makes me want to dream about becoming a girly girl and even more. He creates an image of some ethereal woman, not yet a goddess, but not a nymph (not a girl, not yet a woman LOL)

Also, note the important detail - shoes. Instead of making models walking on terrible high heels (brrr sometimes people overprice them) the stylists let them walk in ballerina shoes. So that's why you comprehend the concept of that wonderful pink dress - it's an exaggerated idea of tutu. I won't be surprise if in in the short time senior Valli will create ballet costumes.

But we all know what was an inspiration for most of silhouettes - just remembered the wedding dress in Muneca Brava, well known Argentinian tv show....




Celine Dione yells "Yes yes !" out of excitement in the video below from insta page of Suzy Menkes. I totally agree with that emotions. I think I'd jump and yell the same way.
