PARIS...........................................................2012
Monday, April 2, 2012
Robert Altman's classic film Prêt-à-Porter captures the spirit of Paris Fashion, and it doesn't exaggerate a single thing.
Fashion in Paris is cinematic and true to every magazine editorial you have ever seen. This I discovered for myself, when I headed to France, watercolours and notebooks in hand. There I attend the runways and exhibitions of the most important of the world's Fashion Weeks.
The drawings below are just a glimpse at what I saw and sought to illustrate while I was there in September and October, 2011. Highlights for me were invitations to houses such as Damir Doma, Lutz, Gapard Yurkievich, Steffie Christiaens, Valentin Yudashkin and Greg Lauren.
Visiting Le XXVIII au gout du jour at the Palace of Versailles, where the works of Christian Dior, Vivienne Westwood, Olivier Theyskens and Alexander McQueen were showcased, was also a wonderful sight, as was the Les Arts Decoratifs' brilliant retrospective on the craft of Hussein Chalayan.
The image above is one of my first impression of the Nefretiti like collection from Damir Doma, Spring Summer 2012.

In the catacombs of Cité Architecture et Patrimoine waltz the models of Damir Doma. A collection of whites and lace for the Summer to come, accented with golden embellishments. Collars fit for Queen Nefertiti were armour to this Avant-garde.Paris is full of collected, or perhaps stolen exotic treasures. The museums of the city are gilded with pieces of Ancient Egypt and deeper Africa. Doma's collection seemed to reflect this. Doing what Paris does in its architecture; blending the Classical with the Other, the exotic and the enchanting.
