Behind Hodakova’s Paris Debut

1 month ago | fhcm.paris | Paul McLauchlan

If this was Larsson’s score, it was decidedly underground. There was something seedy about the way the models swaggered down the catwalk in laced-up leather trousers and bumster jeans. Something about the distressed, shrunken Fair Isles, and embellished chiffon slip skirts under abbreviated double-breasted trench coats that evoked angst between self-exploration and self-actualization. Something about the awkwardness of the attenuated silhouettes that felt familiar.
Julie Kegels Dresses for Success

1 month ago | fhcm.paris | Paul McLauchlan

In a few short seasons, Kegel has become an arbiter of taste in her own right. The show opens with a model in lingerie who starts dressing herself in a white shirt, long trousers, and a V-neck sweater: office appropriateness, the Julie Kegels way. She expanded on the upmarket lifestyle by listing off some familiar tropes like tailoring and hunting jackets.
What Abra Did Next

1 month ago | fhcm.paris | Paul McLauchlan

He telegraphed these ideas about Parisian style with wit and charm. There are some recognisable emblems of bourgeois style in slim blousons over skinny trousers and trench coats rendered as true to Abra: visibly a trench coat in front, the back entirely exposed. Perez hybridised other familiar garments like layered faux fur jackets (made from recycled nylon) that are fused together. He replicated the effect in a faux fur coat draped over the shoulders of a leather jacket.
Wedding Bells at Meryll Rogge

Sep 25, 2024 | fhcm.paris | Paul McLauchlan

With the notion of ceremony lingering in her mind, Rogge opted for a more intimate presentation format. With two catwalk shows under her belt, she was missing the connection she fostered with press and buyers from earlier seasons.
How the Zomer Garden Grows

Sep 24, 2024 | fhcm.paris | Paul McLauchlan

They cut flowers into graphic shapes. They balanced the bold patterns with neutral shades and vibrant tones. They brought the natural world into the collection through a collaboration with Debeaulieu, the Parisian florists beloved for their discordant arrangements. Real blooms like dahlias, amaranths, hortensias, and gerberas blossomed from garments in a romantic ode to the natural world.
Julie Kegels Dives into Casual Chic

Sep 23, 2024 | fhcm.paris | Paul McLauchlan

Merging the style of two cities, there are trench coats juxtaposed with sun-bleached jackets and pants. Vintage swimming trunks, printed with lush florals, provided a counterpoint to satin dresses and lingerie. Classic tailoring and an interpretation of tweed twin sets proved unlikely bedfellows with nods to scuba-diving gear in tightly-knitted scuba tops. Prints like argyle and Hawaiian florals appeared spun with a psychedelic blurred effect to further the vision of an endless summer.
From Cooking to Couture with Weinsanto

Sep 23, 2024 | fhcm.paris | Paul McLauchlan

Without getting lost in his thematic influences, Weinsanto issued a thesis on Parisian style with boyish, sexy silhouettes. He juxtaposed haute couture elements with a more perfunctory ready-to-wear offering. With the couture-adjacent elements, Weinsanto was drawn to something literal to heighten the drama – a tailored jumpsuit resembling a glass of champagne.
ArdAzAei Applies Physics to Couture

Jun 27, 2024 | fhcm.paris | Paul McLauchlan

At the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, ArdAzAei’s Bahareh Ardakani presented, ‘Calabi-Yau: The Hidden Dimensions.’ Her Fall/Winter 2024-2025 collection draws its title from a theory in spatial geometry that references parts possibly not yet discovered by superstring theory, another theoretical framework.
Welcome to Charles de Vilmorin’s World

Jun 24, 2024 | fhcm.paris | Paul McLauchlan

While de Vilmorin imbues the rarified world of couture with a subversive streak, he doesn’t compromise the traditional values of the discipline. Here, he wanted to further his affinity for savoir-faire. In terms of fabrication, the studio spent time developing its own jacquard. They are hand painted with the designer’s signature artworks. For headpieces and accessories, he collaborated with various embroiderers and plumetiers (feather artisans) to bring each look to life.
The Aura of Rahul Mishra

Jun 23, 2024 | fhcm.paris | Paul McLauchlan

The Indian designer Rahul Mishra set himself a challenging task for his Fall-Winter 2024 Haute Couture collection: encapsulating the elusive concept of one’s aura. It’s something he’s considered as an inspiration, but he waited until now for the right time, the right frame of mind to execute a vision philosophising about the spirit. At the Réfectoire des Cordeliers, a procession of divine beings sashayed through an auditorium revealing his interpretation of an aura as a physical entity.
