Paris (AP) - The name of Kim Jones dominated Parisian fashion for the second consecutive week.Dior Men’s's indefatigable British designer returned to the catwalk to present his new haute couture collection for Fendi.
Following the steps of the late Karl Lagerfeld in the creative command of the Roman house is not an easy task, but Jones again incorporated his contemporary sensitivity in lush designs to channel the eternal city.
Produced another smart sample.
Here are some outstanding aspects of the last day of parades of the haute couture collections for the spring of 2022:
Fendi's celestial Rome
Architecture fragments, illuminated with incandescent lights, were suspended on a dark catwalk inside the neoclassical Brongniart palace.On it, to add to the drama, a giant sphere made of white light floated.This was, said Jones, the kingdom of "Celestial Rome", but not as we know it.The creative reinterpreted her with her irreverent eye.
The inspiration for this line was quite mundane: the path of Jones to work at the Atelier de Fendi in Rome, where he went through historical monuments to reach a contemporary environment.The designs, however, were quite the opposite: they explored a juxtaposition between "sculptural marbles" and "ecclesiastical aesthetics" with a futuristic and very sensual vision.
The models walked under the flash of a strobe light, with a skillful effect that gave the impression that they had just been forged by a heavenly seamstress.The designs were equally ingenious.
A bright black dress with a high neck and lay.The skirt had an opening that left her leg exposed while she tilted her head provocatively.It seemed like a kind of fallen angel.
A black silk dress whose embroidery shone like an armor made the model in part celestial princess, partly warrior.He brought a bag similar to an orb and a ball weapon with spikes.The duality excited attendees who included the actress of "Prometheus" ("Prometheus") Noomi Rapace, who applauded from the front row.
Religious images splashed Duchesse silks and organs that merged with centimeters of meat exposed for this daring collection.
Charles de Vilmorin Scare
Halloween arrived early for the child Prodigio Charles de Vilmorin.
The French designer, who jumped to fame after launching his haute couture collection in April 2020 and being quickly appointed creative director of Rochas, was inspired this season in the waltz of death.In the event that the term is not familiar, the house kindly explained that it is based on a legend of the Middle Ages that suggests that you can never escape the grim.Appropriately, the director of "Beetlejuice" ("Beetlejuice, the super ghost") Tim Burton was recruited to collaborate with the designer this season in a sample that used the chopped silhouettes of the firm of Vilmorin and works of art painted by hand paintedwith a deadly effect.
A blood satin dressing dress of a model with devil makeup was adorned with shrinking skeletons, evoking the final scene of the 1988 cinematographic classic.
Silk bombing pants, which remembered medieval clothing and ended in the knee, evoked images of the Italian theater.The model, which was heated ballet shoes, had a decentral air with the red cheeks illuminated in a crash.
However, styles sometimes deviate towards pure theater, like a feathered hood with a blue hat and a stringed jacket with fringes.
