Fall-winter 2016-17 Haute Couture Week started on July 3. It is time of lace, silk, embroidery and complex manipulation of manual work. Dedicated to all those who are tired of normcore and androgyny on the catwalks: during the week of couture designers are singing an ode to women. Iris van Harpen is quite literally dressed models in the sea foam of Aphrodite. Super-women of Donatella Versace in intricatly pleated gowns will make you believe that there is somewhere a world without denim. And this is only the first collections of Haute Couture Week. Let’s wait, what will bring us a new day.
New collections added to the report. Evening group of Chanel Couture collection as if descended from the paintings of Aubrey Beardsley, J. Mendel is not afraid to mix art Deco with dresses of heroines “Game of Thrones”, John Galliano told his own story of a fashion revolution for Maison Margiela, and finally Yulia Yanina released firebirds on the catwalk. To be continued.
The main issue throughout couture week, was not even “How can I be everywhere in time?”, but exactly “Whether it is true?”. Is it true, that main fashion duet will be divided and Maria Grazia Chiuri goes to Dior? The fashion world was waiting for official confirmation from Dior, but unsuccessfully. It is impossible, indeed, to consider to be the official one the congratulation on appointment in the personal instagram of Suzy Menkes? The show closed a Week and it was a reflection of the mood of the audience — all of Shakespeare’s tragedy on the same stage.
