Toward The Within


CHRISTIAN WIJNANTS SPRING SUMMER 2011

"Farewell now my sister
Up ahead there lies your road
And the past is now your future
It bears witness to your soul
Tell me
About the world you left behind."

Dries Van Noten - Spring Summer 2011


Dries Van Noten, once again proved his talent for dressing men. away from his usual ethnic inspirations. Van Noten took us for a little time travel into the 70s with chic mods in slightly flair trousers, with pretty skins in chloryne denim jeans and elegant bomber jackets, or with  multicolor ink stained perfect white shirts. Showed in a quite trash location on the paris docks with a velvet underground loop for soundtrack and plenty of beer oferred, the belgian master mixed music subcultures influences with utilitary fashion, opening new perspective for his menswear line, and later on backstage the word was that a menswear dedicate paris shop is the on the way, opening is still secret location after the summer. almost makes us want the summer to be over soon.

Pink Moon - Calla Fall 10

Canadian born Calla Haynes launch Calla, a relaxed luxury label with strong print designs, for last Spring Summer 10 collections. For Fall 10 the prints, foundation of all Calla collections, came from textures found in abstract paintings, landscapes and more specifically from photographs of Flamingo feathers used on silk chiffon, stretch cotton, twills and jerseys for a series of bustier dresses, geometrical tops and skirts. The pale color palette keeps the collection in the continuity of Haynes work for the past season and even beyond when collaborating with Theyskens for the likes of Rochas or Ricci, a modern nostalgic look, a young cold beauty, body conscious but not constraining, a little lolita but never just cute and naive, a collection of charming contrasts.

Human Fly - BZZ by Davide Bazzerla Fall 10


Verona born Davide Bazzerla has been designing his own line, BZZ, since 2005, while consulting for a bunch of major Italian brands, and it's only now that Bazzerla decided to concentrate "full on" his label, presenting this Fall 10 collection in Berlin and Paris fashion week. BZZ is a collection of shapes and structures, sexiness and proportions, at the edge of fashion, where it meets arts, politics, music and more... mixing haute-couture fabrics with costless second recycled garments into a reflection on the use, the social effects and the concept of fashion garments. The Carabinieri ( Italian police) uniform trousers turned into a short dress topped with a "cute" bow characterize Bazzerla's conceptual games, not without a hint of humour.

About A Girl - Maxime Simoens Fall 10

Something has happened during last Paris fashion week, the return of the young french designers. Well, in fact it's more like the return of interest towards young french designers, but only the result counts, and I'll keep the polemics aside (for now). Amongst this very limited group of promising designers ( that includes Anthony Vaccarello, Nicolas Andreas Taralis and still Charles Anastase ) is Maxime Simeons, french born and educated in the pure french tradition of the couture craftsmanship, and has been working in the best big house's studio before launching his eponymous label last season. Now for his second season, Simoens wanted to retrace the history of the woman's emancipation through fashion. No more corset, maybe a hint of it is left, the waist goes down, the neckline goes deeper, the skirts and dresses shorter.
It's for a woman who conquers and probably wins that Simoens created this collection with the dresses cut around a cross, like a medieval crusader's flag turned into a modern and urban city soldier, but if there is also some officers coat silhouettes, it is always declined with a touch of feminine and sexy evanescence, as Simoens dream girl is a strong but glamorous up-to-date amazon.

Anthem Of The Sun - Christian Wijnants Fall 10

Christian Wijnants presentation took place in the architecture gallery, in the heart of Paris, Marais. But Wijnants Fall 10 is not about architecture and structures as the location might suggest, it is more a fairytale of flower power generation with a touch of medieval age. The collection is articulated around natural and saturated earth tones colors like bronze, caramel, camel and rust in velvet, silk and wool layered sheer tops, hooded cape and dresses with prints inspired by Don Snyder's Aquarian Odyssey, resulting in a modern mystic take on fashion.
