PARIS () – As weary fashion lovers reached the end of Paris Fashion Week’s 96 spring-summer physical and virtual exhibitions, Saturday’s displays provided the spark of power despite rain and gray skies. they have channeled humor, vivid colors, cutting-edge design techniques, and even animated films for increasingly imaginative presentations.
Here are some of the highlights of the spring-summer 2022 prêt-à-porter collection:
DESCRIPTION OF VIVIENNE WESTWOOD DEFIES
Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood was in eccentric form.
Combining references to Glam Rock from Westwood’s heyday in the ’80s with old reflections and company language, Kronthaler created 66 fashion pieces and presented one of this season’s funniest displays of Parisian fashion.
On a plasma screen projecting enlarged photographs of architecture and textiles, the models featured styles that defied almost any description.
Was the pale wedding dressed in invisible scaffolding in the back gaze like a tent, or was it meant to evoke a garment that had been hung to dry on a clothesline?A giant white antique hat had a thin shape, but on closer inspection, a stuffed animal with the face of a bearded old man.
But if the humor is undeniable, there were also many moments of sublime fashion creation. A trompe-l’oeil get get dressed had a pale blue fabric “floating” abstractly on the front. The simplest looks were also among the best, adding a white is covered with a beautiful dynamic material.
ANREALAGE BECOMES CREATIVE
Tokyo’s avant-garde house, Kunihiko Morinaga, has built a huge fan base in Japan for its ambitious concepts that fuse art and fashion.
On Saturday, Morinaga did disappoint.
The award-winning designer introduced fashion editors to a collaboration with Oscar-nominated Japanese animation filmmaker Mamoru Hosoda. It is a fashion short set in the land of “U”, with garments that evoke the iconic science fiction film “Tron”.
The polygonal silhouettes made of triangles of fabrics in his iconic patchwork were immersed in the fictional universe of a futuristic Japanese guy.
They were made with antique clothes and high-tech reflective fabrics that, according to the house, were made using a special technique of gluing, the platform sandals to match the models were adorned with the same print. It was an engaging observation about how the global virtual has affected the fashion industry.
Morinaga said the concept for the exhibition began when Hosoda asked her to create the virtual-level dress for a concert level in “BELLE” (2021), her upcoming animated film.
