My expectations for the last Haute Couture Fashion Week shown in Paris at the beginning of July, was not of the kind that I thought would leave a lasting impression.\u00a0<\/strong>T<\/span><\/span>he Fashion Designers Showing in the Official Haute Couture schedule is shrinking from one season to the next. I would love to see a revamping of the Couture Fashion Weeks in Paris. Luckily, there were some rays of light coming through the heavy cast of clouds to brighten up my day and the confirmation of a heavy trend: the arrival of the coat-dress<\/strong> for the winter season.<\/p>\n

The Good News…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Giambattista Valli<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>presented his first Couture Collection in Paris. It is always good news to see a new comer in the Haute Couture official Schedule reinforcing the statement that Couture has a raison d’\u00eatre (reason to exist). The collection is quite complete from day wear with the coat-dress, the must of the season, cocktail dresses and evening gowns. The Giambasttista Valli clients are with no doubt feminin and chic, bringing a bit of a 60’s retro\u00a0feel with beige, coral, animal-printed mousselines, beige ostrich-feathers and red dresses with Valentino<\/span><\/strong> influences.<\/p>\n

Iris van Herpen<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0was invited to\u00a0present a retrospective of her poetic experimental work from her “Crystallization Collection”. She worked around a concept of the transformation of liquid into crystals. The volumes and materials are more about art performances and\u00a0sculptures\u00a0than wearable outfits like a skeleton dress to a water spray mini-dress. Her work is very organically inspired and reminds me of Alexander McQueen or Hussein Chalayan’s most\u00a0conceptual work. I see a great potential in this young fashion designer, but would like to see how she transcribes her research into commercially viable clothing.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>Giorgio Armani<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0revealed a perfect contemporary elegant and emotional charged collection for\u00a0<\/strong>Armani Priv\u00e9\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>implementing\u00a0a\u00a0Japanese\u00a0inspired umbrella theme. Cherry blossoms on pastel prints underlined with black origami fold, Kimono lines and obilike belts.\u00a0The structure of the silhouettes are elongated with an accentuation of a defined waist line and some asymmetry. The rigidity of an obi belt or a front piece is balanced with the softness and the fluidity of the skirt. This collection is by far my favorite from the recent collections by Giorgio Armani.<\/p>\n

With a luxurious choice of fabrics, sumptuous trimmings and attention to detail\u00a0couture, Giovanni Bedin <\/strong>showed 8 pieces of\u00a0highly-worked corsets with short crinoline attached. He called his new collection \u201dA Gilded Cage\u201d to referr to the woman’s position in 1800’s high society.<\/p>\n

Alexandre Vauthier <\/strong>showed off rich reds in a variety of geometric forms, mixing\u00a0triangulated\u00a0inverted structures juxtaposed with\u00a0rectilinear\u00a0counterpoints.

No artificiality\u00a0with Azzedine Ala\u00efa<\/strong><\/span>, back to the basics where the clothing is the central point rather than the staging of a show. Azzedine presented a complete collection with the master piece of the season the coat-dress<\/strong><\/span>, the latticework\u00a0cocktail dresses, the short full skirt and zipped pencil skirt, playing with his favorite materials from suede, knit, velvet, fur and crocodile-stamped leather. His fantastic\u00a0knitwear shines again with black and beige flamenco like\u00a0evening dresses revealing the body at the hips and ending up with tiers of ruffles: a perfect\u00a0feminin, elegant, sharply cut and\u00a0wearable collection in rich and muted green, eggplant, burgundy and beige to illuminate the profound predominant blacks. A\u00a0perfect palette for the \u00a0fall season. Like in the 90’s the Top Models present in Paris for Couture Fashion Week did not want to miss this opportunity. The Walking Queen Karlie Kloss opened the show followed by Karmen Pedaru, Daria Strokous, Sigrid Agren, Ginta Lapina, Hailey Clauson, Sasha Pivovarova, Arizona Muse, Nimue Smit, Kinga Rajzak, Siri Toller\u00f8d, Yulia Kharlapanova, Alla Kostromichova, Alana Zimmer… and ending with Toni Garrn.<\/p>\n

A Talent Without Compromise<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Azzedine Ala\u00efa<\/span>,\u00a0<\/strong>71, is back after an absence of 8 years from Parisien fashion weeks.<\/p>\n

\n

Born in Tunisia, his carrier started in the late 50’s in Paris where he worked at Christian Dior, Rochas, Guy Laroche, Thierry Mugler and shoe maker Charles Jourdan. Known for his close relationship with clients like Greta Garbo, Louise de Villmorin, C\u00e9cile de Rothschild, Claudette Colbert and Arletty for whom he designed the black zipped dress. Azzedine gradually learned from his clients how the clothing should articulate the feminin body and translate in to the now distinctive Ala\u00efa look.\u00a0<\/strong>In 1981,\u00a0Azzedine Ala\u00efa <\/strong>launched his brand and established his signature with the full skirt, the stretch mini-skirt, the zipped black dress, the knits, the crocodile leather patent… He was quickly adopted by celebrities and artists like Tina Turner, Madonna and the Super Models from the 80’s and 90’s who accepted to work for him for \u00a0free. Super Model, Naomi Campbell became one of his prot\u00e9g\u00e9es at the age of 16 when she stayed in Paris and still revers him as a Father figure.<\/p>\n

In 2000, Prada group bought out his brand. 7 years later, Azzedine bought all of his assets back from the\u00a0Prada group and expanded his design studio with financing from Richemont Group.<\/p>\n

Ala\u00efa is a rare\u00a0specie\u00a0in the fashion industry who prefers the recognition of his loyal\u00a0cliental, rather than the limelight. He recently turned down the Bernard Arnault’s proposal to replace John Galliano at Christian Dior considering that the\u00a0rythme\u00a0imposed to a Fashion Designer is not humane and goes against the natural creative process. The growth of his business has not been as fast as many would expect as some of his contemporaries like Karl Lagerfeld, who he openly criticized in a recent interview for Virgine Mag<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t like his fashion, his spirit, his attitude. It\u2019s too much caricature.\u00a0Karl Lagerfeld never touched a pair of scissors in his life. That doesn\u2019t mean that he\u2019s not great, but he\u2019s part of another system.\u00a0He has capacity. One day he does photography, the next he does advertisements for Coca-Cola. I would rather die than see my face in a car advertisement.\u00a0We don\u2019t do the same work. And I think that he is not doing a favor to young stylists who might think it works that way. They\u2019re going to fall before they retire.” Azzedine Ala\u00efa<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ala\u00efa’s freedom of expression is a rare luxury in a non forgiving industry. Azzedine has nothing to prove and does not need anyone to confirm his success. He does not fear anyone neither. Here is what he said about Anna Wintour from American VOGUE, the most feared woman who can make or break a career with a snap of her finger.<\/div>\n

“I said it before. She runs the business (Vogue<\/em>) very well, but not the fashion part. When I see how she is dressed, I don\u2019t believe in her tastes one second. I can say it loudly! She hasn\u2019t photographed my work in years even if I am a best seller in the U.S. and I have 140 square meters at Barneys. American women love me; I don\u2019t need her support at all. Anna Wintour doesn\u2019t deal with pictures; she is just doing PR and business, and she scares everybody. But when she sees me, she is the scared one. [Laughs.] Other people think like me, but don\u2019t say it because they are afraid that\u00a0Vogue<\/em>\u00a0won\u2019t photograph them. Anyway, who will remember Anna Wintour in the history of fashion? No one. Take Diana Vreeland, she is remembered because she was so chic. What she did with the magazine was great, with Avedon and all the great photographers.\u00a0Vogue\u00a0<\/em>remains while its fashion editors come and go.”\u00a0Azzedine Ala\u00efa<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why would he anyways? When you have the loyalty of the clients and fashion ambassadors like First Lady Michelle Obama.According to French writter Fran\u00e7ois-Ren\u00e9 de Chateaubriand\u00a0“La Vieillesse est un Naufrage…” “Old age is\u00a0a shipwreck”.\u00a0<\/em>Not quite for Ala\u00efa, getting older offeres an extraordinary\u00a0freedom of expression.<\/p>\n

And Some Special Spices \u00a0f<\/strong>rom Christan Dior to Elie Saab…<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Since the brutal departure of John Galliano<\/span><\/strong>, the Artistic Direction position for\u00a0Christian Dior<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>is temporarily occupied by his long time right hand at Dior: Bill Gaytten<\/span><\/strong>. Despite some rumors about potential replacements being considered names like Riccardo Tisci, Haider Hackermann, Alber Elbaz, Heidi Slimane, Rodarte and Azzedine Ala\u00efa are being bandied about. However, the position is still officially vacant as Bernard Arnault and Sidney Toledano have wisely decided to take their time to find that rare talent required to fill the void left by Galliano’s departure.\u00a0Under the present circumstances, it is impossible for a Designer to give a clear lasting vision and create a coherent Couture Collection until a concrete decision has been made as to who will be the captain at the helm. As a result, we witnessed a collection that resembled an\u00a0homage with references to John Galliano from his geometrical architecture to Disco Queen collections, crescendoing with Karlie Kloss dressed as a Pierrot…<\/p>\n

The richly abundant\u00a0Chanel<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Collection (69 looks) highlighted a retro look with peplum jackets over pencil skirts and very classic tweed suits with short enough skirts and long enough\u00a0boots to\u00a0occasionally\u00a0highlight the knee; a detail that goes against Coco Chanel’s conviction in covering the knees as she found them\u00a0espacially\u00a0unappealing. Lagerfeld<\/strong><\/span> seems to have used some references from the Paul Poiret<\/strong><\/span> era with long tube “lamp shade” evening dresses as a perfect example. This is a rather curious reference, when we know that Poiret was Gabrielle Chanels’ biggest competition when she launched her own business and rapidly pushed him “Out of Fashion”.<\/p>\n

Although there were some wonderful pieces, we have seen more upscale original and innovative\u00a0Jean Paul Gaultier<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Couture shows. This season was more of a retrospective of all of his favorite dress codes put together (masculine-feminine – corset – dandysm – Breton shirt – men skirt – trench coat) with ballet dance as an overlying theme featuring some of the famous faces associated with his Fashion House from the 1990’s: Quebecois shaved and tattooed headed model \u00c8ve Salvail and long time male friend and model Tanel.<\/p>\n

It has already been 3 seasons that\u00a0Riccardo Tisci<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0has explored the 10 variations of \u00a0Off-White and Champagne tonalities with long dresses for\u00a0Givenchy Haute Couture<\/strong><\/span>. After a\u00a0Samoura\u00ef inspired last season, Riccardo chose to explore the “Albino Angels” with an exhibition on Stockman of 10\u00a0magnificent\u00a0silhouettes mixing embroideries, lace, tulle, fringe, pearls and feathers craft techniques. Despite the beauty of the 10 dresses, the systematically small evening Couture Collections is becoming somewhat frustrating for established Couture House Givenchy who had a long time Day Wear tradition. Haute Couture is as much about Day Wear as Evening Gowns, the two are complementary, do not use\u00a0the same techniques and would balance the collection.<\/p>\n

Like the brush that paints thick and thin Indian Ink strokes,\u00a0St\u00e9phane Rolland<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0draws an endless, elegantly rendered Carmen dell’Orefice silhouette. Highly influenced by architecture,\u00a0St\u00e9phane Rolland\u00a0<\/strong>defines clothing structure that is with appliqu\u00e9 scrolls. Unfortunately, rather than complementing the structured lines of the collection, the hair and make-up challenged the silhouette with heavy\u00a0smoky eyes, deep purple almost black lips and forehead hair structure.<\/p>\n

The Russian Aristocratic overtones \u00a0were suggested and instilled with a 1960’s feel. The coat-dress was a dominent theme with elegant light cocktail dresses were followed by pure beige sheaths that the duo have shared with us over several seasons. The references to the red dresses from Emperor Valentino<\/strong> were not missing neither.<\/p>\n
