Haute Couture Fall Winter 2014-15 collection

Mood/Style:
the whole collection is permeated by a marked sensuality, starting from the plunging necklines seen on jumpsuits and evening blazers that become dresses to the slits providing a glimpse of bare skin on sheaths in reptile skin or long evening gowns. Though the looks that reveal the body with a more pronounced boldness are floor-skimming see through tunics and those with asymmetric panelling. To grab the attention a luscious fur cropped jacket is also perfect and so are the outerwear pieces with 3D textures embellished with stones and pearls

Alexis Mabille

Haute Couture Fall Winter 2014-15 collection

Mood/Style:
A quote by Susan Sontag gave the designer the idea of a collection where women’s wardrobe is full of ‘incursions’ by menswear. Sontag indeed stated that “What is most beautiful in virile men is something feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine”. So, double-breasted jackets with bonded lace are matched with long siren skirts, spotless shirts are encrusted with macramé and turned into chic evening gowns, jackets are shortened until they become bolero jackets, matching the high-waisted bermuda shorts made of precious fabrics. The evening blazers get rid of sleeves and let the underlying bustier be half-seen, thus wrapping the body in a sensual way and turning into a velvet fourreau with slit
