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

January 22, 2013 by The CoF

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 […]

Saint Laurent Men’s Collection Fall 2013

January 21, 2013 by The CoF

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! […]
