ERIC TIBUSCH

ERICTIBUSCHThe show started with a slow and majestic long music? Alice in Wonderland Theme ‘Tell me what you wear and I will tell you who you are’ could be the name of the 2015 Spring/Summer Eric Tibusch show. Influenced by China and the 1950’s, the collection is glamour and revealed a feminine and beautiful woman which will make you dream of her and for whom you would like to write and who will make you happy.

I love this blue and silver colour accented by a black necklace as a provocation. I love this deep neckline styke and simply open up the desecration that lets me see the beauty and the promise of a soft and warm night. I love simplicity in sophistication. I love beautiful. I love what is simple. Continue reading →

EMANUEL UNGARO canal2

Fausto Puglisi militates for the disappearance of the color! My life in white and black. Fausto’s creativity is between shade and light. He showed their variety and diversity in texture. For him, YSL is the re-interpretation of tuxedo.

Puglisi’s work is a study in bold contrasts and reflects both his Italian origins as well as his fascination with every facets of the American culture. Stefano Gabbana has been invited by Puglisi to take part in their retail project “Spiga 2” which featured a mix of young and unknown international designers.

Women are appearing covered in polka dots on a floor-length skirt.  Although this focus on black and white became what the French call ‘find a style’ was expertly done and gives a fashion face to a brand that had been blanked out.

Puglisi, like Emanuel Ungaro before him, is quintessentially Italian in his unabashed enthusiasm for body-conscious clothes. We love this collection, and we have probably a new St Laurent Designer on the way.

YDE PARIS FASHION WEEK 2015

Posted on by

YDE CANALOle Yde’s collection expresses the rigor and the control of the environment of the people living in the north of Europe. The collection is built around an axis as a building and the axis on which it turns is called luxury and glamor. The master pieces of the collection are a chinchilla jacket, black pants inlaid diamond sequins, New Yorker “pimp” black shoes of the 1920’s and embroidered silk blouse and a blue long dress Crew Neck and a black belt marking the waist and thus break the vertical and smooth line all giving a surprising elegance effect.

Ole Yde did not depart from the spirit of this fashion week: leather and mink were honored and so marked the return of a profession that disappears little by little. We speak furriers that no longer seem to be bothered by environmentalists that once on the catwalk or in the streets of New York were indelible paint in red coats mink they met in the streets.

YDE is a luxury women’s Prêt-à-Porter brand based in Copenhagen. The poetic and feminine style of the collection is conceptualized and created by acclaimed Danish designer Ole Yde, born and raised in Odense, Denmark. At the age of eighteen he moved to Continue reading →

DOLCE & GABBANA, THE NAME OF THE ROSE

Posted on by

DOLCE & GABBANAOnce upon a time, there was a flower called, the Rose and a child named Dolce & Gabbana. One day whereas he was walking in his garden dotted with thousands of flowers of all colors, with a thousand sweet perfumes, he was attracted by one of them, a very pretty pink Rose. A Rose… a child… freshness, escape and dreams. What pleasantly distract us from a prosaic daily, whose gravity affects us always more.

A Rose of March, to keep it alife as long as possible, I put it in water and I hide it in the bottom of my desk. Every moment I contemplated … He escaped from this senacle a fragrance that was floating in my house a surprising burst of dream and desire. Continue reading →

BRITISH SCOTLAND

canalCelebrating a milestone decade of creating fearlessly, Gareth Pugh triumphantly marked the occasion with his return to London, and to the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Plunging the room into darkness, the show opened with a film projection of a lone woman bathed in eerie red light, the symbol of both love and war, in a film directed by long-time collaborator Ruth Hogben.

The footage showed a lone defiant muse as she coarsely hacked off her long blonde hair then, in another act of liberation, anointed herself smearing the red of Saint George’s cross over her face, arms and chest.

St George’s Cross is a red cross on a white background. The design has been in use since the crusades, and it became associated with Saint George, the “warrior saint” often depicted as a crusader, from the late Middle Ages. The Warrior Gareth Pugh is back Continue reading →

RODARTE N.Y 2015

Posted on by

Rodarte Fall Winter 2015 New YorkThe Fashion designer Kate and Laura Mulleavy sisters turned to the beauty of birds and their poetic migration patterns to inspire their romantic yet rock and roll creations.

As the rock star sang their 70’s classic “Run to Me” and the models appeared like shimmering sequined-covered exotic birds of paradise to close out the show, this collection reached its lyrical climax.

Actually, it’s not quite fair to say that the Mulleavys didn’t acknowledge the disco debt: Laura owned up to it after a bit of prodding, saying that her and Kate’s interest in birds had guided them toward the disco theme.

Once again proving that Rodarte is a brand that dreams big and dares even bigger.

Never forget that Rodarte was nominated for its first CFDA Swarovski Emerging Womenswear Designer award in June 2006, followed by another nomination in 2007. Rodarte was awarded Continue reading →

A FRENCH GIRL DUBBED BY ANNA WINTOUR

Posted on by

THEALLET CANAL

Sophie Theallet is a French fashion designer whose clients include First Lady Michelle Obama and she is promoted by the famous American fashion gourou, Anna Wintour, herself.

Sophie Theallet, inspired by French Casual Chic, designs swatches of lace wrapped around models’ necks which pushed the romance or the flirty vibe which seems slightly fussy. There were a few stumbles — quite literally as the final model tried to make her way up and down the runway in her gold full-length ruffled dress, but no stumbles for Sophie, who for a long time has been considered as a very promising designer. She successfully combines a Spain trip with a France 1950’s and, thus, reinvents the casual chic.

It is always extraordinary that such French fashion designers have to go abroad to be recognised. This is surely due, still the same problem, a lack of professionalism and agoraphobia from the people who lead the Federation or institutions governing fashion in France!!!

Anyway, at Canal-Luxe group, we will be delighted to report on you if you come to present your collection. We will put at your disposal our Continue reading →
