Yumi Katsura non è un brand, è dal 1964, la rappresentazione sartoriale del know how nipponico, di quella cultura così piena di contrasti, millenaria eppure estremamente moderna, dove si intrecciano colori intensi e profumi delicati. Negli anni ‘70 Madame Katsura ha un importante incontro; Pierre Balmain nel far visita a uno dei suoi negozi a Tokyo, rimane affascinato dal suo modo di progettare gli abiti da sposa. Formatasi all’École de la Chambre Syndicale de La Couture Parisienne, Yumi Katsura rivela una elaborazione alquanto unica nella produzione delle sue creazioni: un perfetto mix di disegni e tecniche sartoriali orientali e occidentali che l’hanno resa una delle couturière più apprezzate nel panorama dell’alta moda internazionale. All’indomani della sfilata d’alta moda primavera-estate, Yumi Katsura ci invita presso il suo atelier di Parigi in…

Creativity without limits. Isabel Sanchis manages to combine sophistication, femininity, and fantasy with a great attention to detail. The result of meticulous work carried out in her atelier, where a closeknit team of expert collaborators creates sketches for the designer, who personally and carefully follows each step of the creations. Only the finest fabrics are selected and become the raw material for shaping these ideas, making them truly unique. Isabel looks at art, cinema, and nature as inexhaustible sources of inspiration that, season after season, transmit different suggestions and strong emotions which transpire in her work. In her new collection, black reigns supreme, highlighted by sparkling rhinestones that impart a mysterious and almost fairytale elegance and enliven silhouettes with geometrics. The allure of a princess. Based in Valencia, the Isabel…

All the colors of the most crystalline seas there are, and all the colors of the clearest of skies we wish to see… so as to fill our eyes to infinity. Tutti i colori del mare più cristallino che c’è, e tutti i colori del cielo più limpido che vogliamo sopra di noi, per riempirci lo sguardo sino all’infinito.…

Sandals that are a quaint masterpiece of Italian vanity and savoir-faire, where creativity rhymes with quality. Three straps, five satin bows, and a metal plaque in a 1960s style. Definitely flat. Just going with the flow. Love at first sight. Questi sandali sono un piccolo capolavoro di vanità e di savoir faire all’italiana dove la creatività fa rima con qualità. Triplo listino, cinque fiocchetti in satin e placchetta in metallo stile anni Sessanta e ovvamente suola flat, come vuole la nuova onda. Un colpo di fulmine.…

The colors of Vietnamese rice fields, the hues of Cambodian temples, the gracefulness of certain oriental sunsets are all in Antonio’s new palette, one that complements a collection with an elegance from yesteryear. Everything is straight from his atelier: stitch by stitch, embroidery on embroidery. The choice of fabrics: crêpe, duchess, chiffon, and also decorations, are always with moderation. A journey that develops into clothes, with lines slightly juxtaposed to the body, maxi ruffles as very couture impromptu details, and jewels designed by Bernard Delettrez. I colori delle risaie vietnamite, i toni dei templi cambogiani, la dolcezza di certi tramonti orientali sono la nuova palette di Antonio, che va a comporre una collezione fatta di un’ eleganza d’antan. Tutto esce dall’atelier: punto su punto, ricamo su ricamo. La scelta dei…

Romanticism is the keyword for the collection by the Lebanese designer. The audience was welcomed into a magical boudoir to witness a succession of refined creations imbued with nostalgia for the past and modernity. Inspired by the Age of Enlightenment, Dany traces a path made of feather-light fabrics in pastel shades that envelop the body like a cloud, while precious embroideries enrich the creations made with choice fabrics, as do flower appliqués, sequins, and feathers. Femininity and elegance. Romanticismo è la parola d’ordine per la collezione dello stilista libanese. Il pubblico è stato accolto in un magico boudoir per assistere a un susseguirsi di creazioni raffinate intrise di nostalgia per il passato e di modernità. Ispirandosi al secolo dell’Illuminismo, Dany traccia una percorso fatto di tessuti vaporosi dai toni pastello…

The starting point is a pattern that is endless and omnipresent in nature, trees, rivers, clouds, and shells. One from which Tony Ward extrapolates the intriguing and complex fractal shapes that he uses to design silhouettes with impeccable structures. Following the same process of repetition found in natural forms, the designer creates a collection that recounts all the savoirfaire of the Maison, translated into lace, organza, lasercut satin, and embroidered tulle dresses, with a bright yet subtle color palette, in shades of lilac, light green, white almond, and pink. Il punto di partenza è un pattern senza fine e onnipresente in natura, negli alberi, nei fiumi, nelle nuvole, nelle conchiglie, da cui Tony Ward estrapola le intriganti e complesse forme frattali di cui si avvale per creare silhouette dalle costruzioni…

Cherokee, Inuit, Navajo, and Apache. Zuhair Murad pays a tribute to the culture of Native Americans and the craftsmanship of the various tribes, celebrating traditional prints, pictograms, and embroidery. Refined and striking, witness to an excellence that has become the trademark of the Maison. Pieces decorated with fringes, feathers, and pearls, tight around the waist, with fluid movements. Transparent tunics with a modern sinuosity, and sweeping red carpet dresses with intriguing necklines. Symbolism on the catwalk. Cherokee, Inuit, Navajo e Apache.

The history of couture is inseparably tied to that of modern art through journeys taken, dynamics experienced, and in the experimentation that is part of both. Like Surrealists from the past century, particularly Leonor Fini, Maria Grazia Chiuri lets herself go to the oneiric interpretations of a dress: a collection created with optical illusions and trompe-l’oeil, poised between a dream and reality. Corsets are shaped like cages, sugarcoated by sensually overlapping tulle and naïf polka dots. Geometries take the form of macro puzzles and pleats become like pages to browse. La storia della couture è indissolubilmente legata a quella dell’arte moderna, nei percorsi, nelle dinamiche e nel senso di sperimentazione che fa parte di entrambi. Come i Surrealisti del secolo scorso, in particolare Leonor Fini, Maria Grazia Chiuri si lascia…

Luxury, exclusivity, and comfort. Three words that embrace the secret of the creations signed “A” by Annabelle. Each is unique and tells its own story, conceived from the deep passion for shoes that the Israeli designer Anabelle Tsitsin has always cherished. The finest leathers and fabrics are combined with a refined taste for aesthetics and a great attention to detail, starting from the first sketch and ending with the finished product and a very high level of craftsmanship. A distinguishing touch is given by the Kryptonite jewel, applied on the classic pump, inspired by the shapes of crystals. Footwear Made in Italy. Lusso, esclusività e comfort, in queste tre parole è racchiuso il segreto delle creazioni firmate “A” by Annabelle. Ognuna di esse è unica e racchiude una propria storia,…

A luxurious and glamorous collection on Maxime Simoëns’ catwalk for summer couture, made up of sensual dresses that play with transparencies and golden threads, for a glossy image with intense rock deviations.

Sfilano pellicce in piume dai movimenti intriganti, preziosi abiti in satin, capi dai bagliori metallici e impeccabili abiti da red carpet, completi manlike e giacche kimono. Un…

The 1920s on the catwalk. Magnificent, incredible, roaring years, where the joy of living, the desire to have fun - after a bloody war - flowed through the veins of the Ville Lumière. Girls dressed in next to nothing. Tulle embroidered with bugle beads and pearls, creating very sexy transparencies, and slits. Marabou feathers caress their faces, making them irresistible. They like themselves and, certainly, they are liked. A Jazz rhythm and the party can begin. Anni Venti in passerella, i magnifici, incredibili anni ruggenti, dove la gioia di vivere, la voglia di divertirsi, dopo una guerra sanguinosa, scorreva nelle vene della Ville Lumière. Ragazze vestite di nulla, sui tulle i ricami di canutiglie e di perline creano effetti di trasparenza molto sexy, spacchi e piume di marabù, che accarezzano…

The sober, minimalist silhouettes in designer Patrick Boffa’s collection are inspired by men’s clothing, for creations that enhance femininity and give a touch of refined elegance. Precise references are made to the works of Madame Grès and the images of the stars of the ‘20s, such as Bette Davis, Marlene Dietrich, and Jean Harlow. The elegant nightwear they wore in the movies is transformed into eveningwear, a pajama becomes a tuxedo, a robe something to wear on important evenings. Black reigns supreme with contrasts between glossy and opaque, and skilful transparencies, pleats, and drapings. Silhouette sobrie, minimaliste, per la collezione dello stilista Patrick Boffa che si ispira al guardaroba maschile per creare capi che esaltano la femminilità e donano un tocco di raffinata eleganza. Chiari i riferimenti alle opere di…

A tribute to the style and creative genius of Pierre Cardin, to his aesthetic evolution, and his avant-garde and experimental vision on fashion that focused on innovation. Jean Paul Gaultier, whose professional journey juxtaposes Cardin’s in terms of anti-conformism, brings an iconographic, glam Haute Couture collection to the catwalk. Black-and-white optical graphic designs, manlike outfits cinched at the waist, energetic color blocking, and deviations towards futuristic asymmetries. And what about that “bubble dress”? Un omaggio allo stile e al genio creativo di Pierre Cardin, alla sua evoluzione estetica e alla visione avanguardistica e sperimentale della moda, focalizzata sull’innovazione. Jean Paul Gaultier, il cui percorso si accosta a quello di Cardin in termini di anticonformismo, porta in passerella una collezione Haute Couture iconografica e glam, dai capi dai grafismi optical in…

One single material for an entire collection. Japanese satin, just to prove that couture is still that creative segment where experimentation goes hand in hand with tradition. Artisanal savoir-faire in the atelier. Viktor & Rolf dispel this exquisite fabric through grandiose contoured hoods with a regal appeal, woven mini-dresses, double-breasted jackets, and long dresses that have bloomed into lush bouquets, focusing on patchwork and stripes, bows and ruffles. La Gaite Lyrique is what they called the collection, perfectly representing the vision of the creative, romantic, theatrical, and innovative duo. Un solo materiale per un’intera collezione, il satin giapponese, a dimostrazione che la couture è ancora quel segmento creativo in cui sperimentazione fa rima con tradizione, intesa come savoir faire artigianale nell’ambito dell’atelier. Viktor & Rolf declinano il prezioso materiale in…

Clare Waight Keller - former creative director at Chloè - made her debut for Givenchy during haute couture fashion week in Paris. The British designer succeeded Riccardo Tisci and turned a new page. She interprets high fashion with a deliberately minimal feel, enhancing sought-after precious materials with technical influxes, while gracefully alluding to the historical outfits of the Maison founded by Hubert de Givenchy, whose muse was Audrey Hepburn. The result is an image of a modern, almost severe, femininity that loves dusters with an imperious line, but lets itself be tempted by cascades of crystals and glass tube beading. Debutto, nell’ambito dell’haute couture fashion week parigina, di Clare Waight Keller, ex-Chloè, alla direzione artistica dello storico brand. La stilista inglese succede a Riccardo Tisci, e volta pagina. Interpreta l’alta…

A magical moment for Rani who debuts at Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris in a prestigious setting like The Westin, just a few minutes away from the Place Vendôme. A dazzling catwalk, a succession of bold colors, a golden glimmer, dedicated to an effervescent woman who is full of joie de vivre. A woman who prefers dresses that luxuriate in sequins with geometric shapes - a tribute to the works of Klimt - and a plethora of rhinestones, while second skins alternate with fluid volumes that love asymmetries. Momento magico per Rani che debutta nell’ambito della haute couture fashion week parigina e sceglie una cornice di prestigio come quella del The Westin, a due passi da place Vendôme. Su una passerella dorata un susseguirsi di colori forti e bagliori…

1950s Hollywood, with its full and finely embroidered skirts, meets an urban street style in the “Bal de Rue” collection by Rami Kadi. A juxtaposition, a contrast that turns into a harmonious encounter with a contemporary, futuristic, nostalgic, and timeless flavor. New materials and new techniques transform couture into Nouvelle Couture. Everything is multidimensional, beyond limits. Feathers, tulle, duchess, and rhinestones confer a fairy-tale allure, while PVC becomes luxurious through craftsmanship, and holographic sequins is astounding.

During the AltaRoma event, Scognamiglio celebrated his creative journey with a fashion show, a career that began twenty years ago right in this same place. His style is dreamlike, deeply rooted in haute couture, as inferred in the details. Complex elaborations from an atelier, almost baroque, counterpose technical materials, supporting a vision that is more futuristic than contemporary, creating unusually interesting contrasts. Magnificent guipure lace stands out against very light tulle. A fairy-tale dress as a second skin, while white feathers define the contours of a delicate fourreau that vibrates with the slightest movement. Pleated ruffles, the true signature of the Maison, create effects resembling wings or fins for this female figure who enters a fantasy world. Con una sfilata, durante l’evento AltaRoma, Scognamiglio ha festeggiato il suo iter creativo,…

Profoundly tied to her land, Libyan designer Raja El Rayes, creative director at Rujji, combines modernity and tradition in her creations. Her collection is a journey to a mountainous place in the Sahara, Tadrart Acacus. Listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, its importance lies in the rock paintings and engravings found there, the oldest dating back to 21,000 BC. With regard to the images represented, Italian researcher Fabrizio Mori once stated that they are a summation of a world made of secrets and passion. Raja’s clothes are a tribute to an area of great cultural value, rich in history, secrets, and beauty that she has imprinted into her pieces. La Stilista libica Raja El Rayes, direttore creativo della Maison Rujji, profondamente legata alla sua terra, coniuga nelle sue…

With Blumarine, she has designed the image of a romantic seductive woman who is joyfully feminine, with an iconic style that comes alive through her world as a fashion designer.

Contemporary romance, and lots of creativity, are the lifeblood of the new collection by Dutch designer Christian Lagerwaard, dedicated to Spring-Summer 2018 and presented at Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris. The modernity of everyday life, stimulating his fervid imagination, has given life to garments that perfectly interpret the latest needs in fashion. The evocations of those who today live their lives with nonchalance, with a free and youthful spirit. Keeping in line with the DNA that is the basis of his philosophy, Lagerwaard continues his stylistic research through the reinterpretation of well-structured materials and fabrics, indispensable elements that, in a playful interaction of shapes and colors, and through his personal perception, dress the entire collection with a romantic allure. The designer’s atelier is located in the heart of Paris,…

So many have spoken and written about Frida Kahlo that she and her art have become a legend. So, what more could another exhibition express? Only when we’ve seen it will we have the answer. As of now, we can only anticipate that it will not be the usual display of pieces which follow the chronology of various stages in life, but an entirely unprecedented exhibition, divided into five different themes: Women, Violence, Politics, Nature, and Death. An overall analysis at the Mudec in Milan, from February 1st to June 3rd, 2018 where visitors will be able to admire all the works from the Dolores Olmedo Museum in Mexico City and the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection, two of the most important collections worldwide on Frida Kahlo. Added to these,…

A prestigious location for presenting the brand’s new collection: The Ritz. Evocatively called, “Cygnus Nihili”, the collection is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Wild Swans” and by the aesthetics of art deco interiors and jewels, translating beauty into clothes that combine iconographic geometries with sumptuous plumage, in a surrealist perspective. Diamond-cut silhouettes, overlapping panels, and a contrasting palette of red, mint, black, and rose gold the color tell the story of a symbolic swan, through a nihilistic mood. Un luogo prestigioso per la presentazione della nuova collezione firmata dalla giovane stilista: Il Ritz. Il titolo evocativo “Cygnus Nihili” parla dell’ispirazione tratta dall’ opera “The Wild Swans” di Hans Christian Andersen e dall’e stetica degli interni e dei gioielli Déco, traducendone la bellezza in abiti che abbinano iconografiche geometrie a…

A great lesson from a great teacher. Perfection is the goal, combined with that certain je-ne-sais-quoi which is difficult to define. This is Giorgio Armani. We can start with his jackets. Impeccable lines, rounded shoulders or, on the contrary, find those cinched at the waist with a jewel button. In a heartbeat, you’re fantastic. And if that button is coconut shell, then it’s even more exquisite, like the light organza dusters worn over lustrous sequins - just magnificent - or the foulard blouses over bright, not very tube pants. All in an extraordinary color palette. Instant elegance. Grande lezione del maestro. L’ obiettivo è la perfezione, unita a quel certo-non-so-che, difficile da definire, che è proprio di Giorgio Armani. Partiamo dalle sue giacche, linea perfetta, con spalle arrotondate, ma anche…

A play of mirrors on the catwalk for the English duo, now habitués of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Everything is doubled, everything moves. Silk fringes caress legs and draw plunging, vain necklines. Airy feathers adorn the hems of dresses and more. Ton-sur-ton sequins shine everywhere with hints of gold and silver. Silk, also metallic, alternates with crêpe and the lightness of voile. Gioco di specchi per la passerella del duo inglese ormai habitué della haute couture fashion week parigina. Tutto si raddoppia, tutto si muove, le frange in seta accarezzano le gambe, disegnano le scollature abissali, vanitose e le leggere piume adornano abiti agli orli e non solo, mentre le paillette tono su tono brillano ovunque con tocchi d’oro e d’argento. La seta, anche metalizzata, si alterna ai crêpe…

The new haute couture collection by Marella Ferrera express all the grace and beauty of a butterfly that flutters in air and creates a light dance. Elegance and sophistication without rival. Color and suavity combine with architectural forms in chiffon that create vibrant and suggestive effects when reflecting light. Graphic designs are expressed in geometries with a trace of antiquity. Flowers - those that grow in her beloved Sicily, imbued with scents and colors only that island is able to impart - appear on gauze and voile. Lepidopterans are embroidered, recreating a secret garden where nature reigns supreme. Past and future suddenly disappear, and only beauty, wonder, and amazement remain, while the butterfly is incarnated in a dancer that twirls incessantly in a magical reality. With her deep ties to…

“Love Symphony” is the tribute that the designer of the “Speranza Couture” maison, Nadezhda Yusupova, dedicates to women, with love.

The Love Symphony collection touches the strings of emotions, fills your eyes with beauty, and satisfies every bride’s desire for elegance. “Love Symphony” è l’inno che la stilista della maison “Speranza Couture”, Nadezhda Yusupova, dedica con amore alle donne.

The Cirque d’Hiver, a location that witnessed clamorous fashion shows during the 1990s, also hosted a spectacular collection by the most famous Chinese designer of the moment: Guo Pei. Archetypal figures moved around on an enchanted island: mermaids, fairies, and angels in symbiosis with Mother Nature. Dozens of flowers created in the designer’s atelier, in various shapes and colors, small works of craftsmanship that, together with natural stones and crystals, embellished clothes extracted from a dream. Guo Pei’s exquisite dresses are exhibited on Bonaveri mannequins at the “National Gallery of Victoria Triennal” in Melbourne, an art and design venue that collects the works of over one hundred international artists in Australia until April 15th. Location che ha visto sfilate clamorose negli anni Novanta, il Cirque d’Hiver Bouglione, ha accolto una…

The Greek designer’s new collection, presented in Paris during haute couture week, is dedicated to Olympias - a proud, capricious, and charming woman - daughter and wife, sister to a king, and mother to Alexander the Great. The inspiration for the brand’s creations is ancient Greece, a land that first questioned itself on the value and power of beauty. The columns of Samothrace are drawn on clothes for ethereal bodies-almost statuesque - snakes, so beloved to Olympias, shine with Swarovski crystals, and pleats are all handmade, just like Laskaris’ sandals. È dedicata ad Olimpia la nuova collezione dello stilista greco presentata a Parigi nell’ambito dell’haute couture fashion week. Una donna orgogliosa, caparbia ed affascinante, figlia, sposa, sorella di re e madre di Alessandro il Grande. Così le suggestioni creative trovano…

The Maison Anoufa collection, inspired by graphic art, is dedicated to Summer 2018. The bear is the leitmotiv. Garments are futuristic, created by a particular play on fabrics. Leather and embroidery act as raw material for clothes with important volumes that allow us to enter the imaginative world of the Maison. The teddy bear becomes a hood and reinforces a dominant, yet, sweet image, representing an incitement towards mutual love, granting smiles and hope. The fashion house collaborated with the Trendy Opticians and Kazar Shoes brands.

John Galliano injects a massive dose of glamour into his Artisanal collection for this summer’s red carpet, reconfirming his theatrical and somewhat insane vision of fashion, especially couture, where one can dare to experiment. With works by Jessi Reaves, who transforms furniture into sculptures and vice versa, Galliano creates an intriguing and bizarre lexicon, translated into clothing, interpretable in various styles, but all joined by the couturier’s desire to astound. John Galliano inietta una massiccia dose di glamour nella collezione Artisanal per i red carpet della prossima estate, riconfermando la sua visione teatrale e un po’ folle della moda, in particolare della couture, per definizione l’ambito in cui è possibile sperimentare. Intorno all’ opera di Jessi Reaves, che trasforma mobili in sculture e viceversa, Galliano crea un vocabolario intrigante e…

The “Goddess of wheat”, Demeter. “Mother Earth” who collects its fruits and offers them to humanity, and whose cult thrives in places, such as Sicily, Crete, Thrace, and the Peloponnese. Ziad Nakad celebrates strong generous women in a collection of dresses speckled with exquisitely embroidered ears of wheat. Fairy-tale silhouettes. A homage to the most iconic image of the goddess. A romantic palette. The blue of the heavens merges with various hues. The yellow and gold of wheat, the green of the earth, the coral of the ocean, and the bronze reflections of trees at sunset. Demetra, la “Dea del grano” e “Madre della Terra”, che ne raccoglie i frutti e li offre all’umanità e il cui culto è fiorente in luoghi come la Sicilia, Creta, la Tracia e il…

“Reine de Passion” is the theme of the latest collection created by designer Betty Tran, inspired by a trip to Europe and the discovery of romantic moods. In a poetic world that is slightly rarefied, graceful silhouettes glide across the catwalk, silhouettes that elegantly revisit the 19th century.
