Haute Couture Fashion Week: the looks that caused the biggest stir
The new season of Haute Couture Fashion Week kicked off in Paris from June 24 to 27. Paris Select reveals the looks that created a stir during the fashion shows.
Schiaparelli
On Monday, June 24, Daniel Roseberry, Artistic Director of the Maison Schiaparelli opened Fashion Week Haute Couture in style. Entitled Le Phœnix, this collection is a powerful tribute to Elsa Schiaparelli and her exceptional talent for reinventing herself and bringing women back to life through her creations.
Thom Brown
For his second Couture show, Thom Browne put on a spectacular show, exploring the different stages in the making of his outfits. Her collection, made entirely in canvas, uses the material usually reserved for the creation of clothing prototypes.
Chanel
Tuesday, June 25, Chanel unveiled its first Haute Couture Fashion Week show without Virginie Viard, who had announced in early June her departure from the luxury house after directing the artistic creation of collections since 2019. Richly embroidered, the collection revisits the House’s codes and gives them a romantic twist.
Charles de Vilmorin
On June 25, Charles de Vilmorin revealed an unexpected collection that looked like something out of a Tim Burton movie. Grotesque figures, strange animals and eerie or fairy-tale characters crossed the runway, bathed in a bewitching red light.
Balenciaga
Demna, Artistic Director of the House of Balenciaga, never ceases to impress us at Haute Couture Fashion Week. For his fourth couture collection, the designer takes a bold step away from Cristóbal Balenciaga‘s traditional silhouettes. He offers down jacket dresses, oversized pieces, technical garments and hoodies, using materials that he has loved for a decade. A surprising collection that confirms his taste for breaking with convention.
Jean Paul Gaultier by Nicolas Di Felice
For this Haute Couture collection, Nicolas Di Felice wanted to pay tribute to Jean-Paul Gaultier’s aesthetic in all its diversity. The chromatic palette is composed of shades of black, white, navy blue and brown. Transparency adds a touch of sensuality to dresses and unstructured looks. Nicolas Di Felice also highlighted an emblematic Jean-Paul Gaultier element: the famous corset. He had fun reinventing it and adapting it to his own vision.
Ashi Studio
The Saudi brand Ashi Studio distinguishes itself through haute couture combining exclusive craftsmanship, mastery of volume and the pursuit of purity in every line. Harmoniously blending Baroque and minimalist trends, his singular style attracts a demanding and loyal clientele around the world.
