Paris fashion: Loewe, Issey Miyake, Valli

Fragile half-toned blocks of colored confetti lay on Loewe’s white catwalk at Paris Fashion Week. Ushers tried to guide guests including Jamie Dornan, Naomi Campbell and Catherine O’Hara desperately around the blocks, fearing the decorations would decompose with the slightest brush. Sometimes, it did the part.

Jonathan Anderson’s very creative show itself — using feathers, satin and velvet — continues the theme of miniaturization and fleeting impressions.

Here are some highlights of Friday’s fall-winter 2023-2024 ready-to-wear show in Paris.

LOEWE IS GREAT

For fall, the brand’s acclaimed Northern Irish designer continues to explore simple and casual styles – where a single piece of clothing often covers the entire look.

Loewe describes it as “an idea of ​​elementality: one piece, and that’s it, shrunk down to the roughest possible shape.”

The Old Master painters’ grindstone, as seen in Anderson’s menswear collection, is felt here again with its collapsible leather Renaissance boots and the use of satin, silk duchesse, velvet, crystal and feathers.

The pastel-colored collection’s feathers are the most original: The feathers are unusually wide and laid over the clothes like a seashell. They appear as a layer of dew over a buttery white shirt with some randomly protruding feathers, or on dark blue-grey flared pants with a thick texture reminiscent of a cloned bird. insulate.

A pale blue robe that appeared to be simply a satin length hung from the chest from a large golden ball. Elsewhere, the idea that fashion or life itself is ephemeral and ever-moving is conveyed through watermark prints on loose dresses, sometimes like X-rays.

The house said it was “about focusing on what doesn’t seem clear right now.” It is clear that the Loewe under Anderson’s creative eye has become one of the most anticipated collections in the industry.

COLOR LOCK

Perhaps the most unconventional use of color blocks ever seen at Paris Fashion Week, Loewe collaborated with Italian artist Lara Favaretto to create literal blocks of color. The 21 blocks of confetti 90 cm (35 inches) high, weighing about 10 tons, were created in deep red, blue, yellow and green colors that impressed the attendees.

O’Hara, who watched the show alongside US Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, exclaimed “Oh, look at that blue” as a guest evaded security to pose next to a cube – causing a bunch of confetti.

“I was hoping one person would dissolve on the show, because there’s nothing really holding them together,” O’Hara told The Associated Press. “Isn’t that crazy?” O’Hara said Anderson’s designs showcase “entirely original, fresh ideas, not new for the sake of new.”

She added: “They are the most unusual silhouettes and shapes but still very pleasing to the eye.

ISSEY MIYAKE’S SQUARE

A combination of music, dance and theater awaits at the home of Japanese technical fabric lover.

A live performance of marimba percussion opened the show at the Chatelet Theatre, one of Paris’ most prestigious stages. The show takes the idea of ​​a piece of music, or an oil painting, or a square piece of fabric — and explores this theme of squareness.

The house explains: “This collection engages with this streamlined form… to develop garments with striking form. It says its aesthetic is based on “a new iteration” of empty space.

The three-dimensional “canopy” skirts are folded like origami paper. The square pattern is woven horizontally and vertically – prominent on the background of the stretchy blue ao dai with the elastic diamond front hem. Innovative looks include gowns made with advanced technology to shrink the weave into a unique texture.

VALLI HAS FEATURES

Balkan and oriental aesthetics pervade the sparkling and sometimes eclectic performance of Italian designer Giambattista Valli.

Ethnic tight waistcoats combined with ruffles, gold buttons, ’60s miniskirts, florals, voluminous tulle, thick tweed, black cyclist boots, shade, belts with gold bands and even menswear styles.

The best designs are those with a simple Balkan flavor – such as a flowing, off-white bodice dress with a crisscross band. It is combined with ethnic pear-shaped earrings.
