Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal Spring Couture 2013 Collection

January 24, 2013 by The CoF

The Maison Martin Margiela team employs an up-cycling concept for its Artisanal collection, now in its second season on the Couture runway. If we’re to believe the notes from tonight’s show, the last three looks were made from thousands of metallic wrappers embroidered onto pongee silk. The candy “fur” took 70 hours to make. That’s a far cry from the labors of a house like Valentino, say, whose own press materials announced that some pieces required upward of 500 hours […]

Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2013 Collection

January 24, 2013 by The CoF

Parks are officially the hottest things in high fashion. After Chanel’s forest set and Dior’s undulating boxwoods, Valentino creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli also took their couture collection down the garden path. This is neither a judgment nor a slight. Gardens are glorious, and the Roman duo nourished their theme with a distinctive Italian touch, from the spaghetti-like embroideries coiled on coats and dresses — echoing the curlicues on fancy metal gates and grills — […]

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring Couture 2013 Collection

January 23, 2013 by The CoF

COUTURE season seems to be the perfect time to find inspiration when it comes to planning this summer’s holidays – Giorgio Armani took us to Turkey yesterday and this afternoon Jean Paul Gaultier went to Morocco. It was a rich and varied collection with each and every exit completely different to the one before it – so bulbous stripes led the way on dresses of asymmetric or off-the-shoulder style, followed by super-cinched tulle gowns heavily held at the waist by big gold belts, […]

Serkan Cura Spring Haute Couture 2013 Collection

This “Birds of Eden” collection was another love letter from Turkish-born Serkan Cura to the noble craft of feather-making. There were a variety of flamboyant shoulder pieces on top of skimpy corset dresses in see-through fabrics. An XXL flower hairpiece descending all the way down to the sleeves was even more sculptural, while delicately woven feather blazers had a contemporary feel. Among the finale numbers was a creamy feather tutu worthy of a 21st-century production of “Swan Lake.” Photo by […]

Ulyana Sergeenko Spring Couture 2013 Collection

A giant book of fairy tales was propped open at the end of Ulyana Sergeenko’s Yellow Brick Road-like runway, and the well-worn original tome, featuring illustrations by Yuri Vasnetsov, circulated the front row. Inside its weathered pages, alligators opened their jaws to spilling breadbaskets and mice crawled gleefully over a caged cat. The Russian designer’s second couture show recounted equally strange stories while brimming with charm and, occasionally, a sense of wonderment. A soundtrack of spaghetti Westerns, snippets of “Rocky” […]

Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2013 Collection

GIAMBATTISTA VALLI has been officially part of the couture line-up now for three seasons, having made a guest appearance for autumn/winter 2011-12. Designers typically receive appellation only after they’ve showed couture for five years, but the Paris Fédération Française de la Couture decided that the standard of Valli’s work was so high that he was eligible for the honour – and so he’s part of the gang now. And it’s easy to see why. He tackled tricksome shapes that wouldn’t so […]

Chanel Spring/Summer 2013 Couture Collection

A GOTHIC take on A Midsummer Night’s Dreamwas what Karl Lagerfeld had in mind for his spring/summer 2013 couture show for Chanel this morning. And a dream it certainly was. We stepped into an enchanted forest beneath the dome of the Grand Palais and into a world seemingly straight from the pages of Shakespeare, a wooden auditorium surrounding us, and edgy fairies about to come to life before us. Stella Tennant opened the show in a white tweed cape and jacket hybrid, black […]

Saint Laurent Men’s Collection Fall 2013

Hedi Slimane at full Hedi Slimane-ness, Saint Laurent was everything you’d guess it to be. Skinny goes without saying, as does gaunt Rock n’ Roll boys. Add to the pile touches of grunge with plaid shirts, show off beaded jackets, military as worn by Pete & Co. and a rather nice baseball jacket offering a slight change to proceedings. Disheveled glamour for (anaemic) young folk and plenty of androgyny to keep you guessing. It looks like Isabel Marant meets Balmain to me! […]

Couture Fashion Week Highlights

Donatella Versace last night/ via style.com Couture Fashion Week kicked off last night – a four-day-long schedule featuring the fashion world’s key names and the most beautiful and expensive creations of the season. While the opulent gowns designed by heavyweights such as Chanel and Dior might be out of most of our budgets, the event does give us the opportunity to see designers at their most creative, extravagant and dramatic. It was Atelier Versace who begun the proceedings last night […]

And while New York, Milan, London and Paris host the most renowned Fashion Weeks known to man, there are so many other worldwide cities that set a week aside twice a year to celebrate the industry and its top […]

Missoni Men Fall/Winter 2013 Collection

Angela Missoni, sister of Vittorio Missoni, whose plane went missing on Jan. 4, issued a statement confirming that the fal show would take place as scheduled, as “at this difficult moment for my family and our company, the firm must continue its activities.” Missoni stated: “I will be backstage as always to complete my work on the collection, but I will not give any interview or make any statement and I trust in your collaboration in order for the show […]

Costume National Homme Fall 2013 Collection

Two key pant styles — a relaxed jogger-inspired design, and a drop-crotch ankle-length trouser — were paired with very masculine maxi coats and wool jackets with leather panels. One stiff and shiny bomber jacket had flashes of deep, electric blue, lighting up the mostly black lineup. Ennio Capasa is a master in layering, and he’s definitely perfected the biker jacket. I am a fan!

Costume National Pre-Fall 2013 Collection

One of my favorite collection for pre-fall 2013!For me, Costume National is exquisite design and high quality. Ennio Capasa extended lapels on jackets and added zipper details and leather touches to asymmetric dresses that stayed close to the designer’s signature aesthetic.

Dior Pre-Fall 2013 Collection

January 11, 2013 by The CoF

For his first pre-fall collection for Dior, Raf Simons wrote another chapter in his modernist makeover of the storied French house, employing the same vocabulary as his couture and ready-to-wear debuts last year. “New classics” is the term the Belgian designer applied to his latest takes on tuxedo suits, “bar” jackets and such iconic prints and fabrics as florals and Prince de Galle checks. “I wanted to continue exploring the Dior codes we started establishing,” Simons told WWD. But this […]

J.W. Anderson Fall/Winter 2013 Men Collection

J.W. Anderson’s sexually ambiguous fall 2013 men’s collection featured a succession of steely-faced men in knee-high frilled leather boots, ruffled neoprene shorts, tube tops and, in one case, a full-blown industrial-wool dress (our first thought was that it looked vaguely like a Victoria Beckham design). And despite the triple-takes, the whole shebang was actually pretty damn smart—and unarguably very Anderson. The Northern Irish designer had a banner 2012, with an appointment to the helm of Versace’s Versus line, following Christopher Kane’s exit, as well as a successful […]
