| Andrew Gn pays homage to Cubists at Paris fashion Posted: 29 Sep 2013 08:02 AM PDT Singapore-born Gn also named Italian architects and designers Gio Ponti and Carlo Mollino as influences on his spring/summer 2014 collection. "I took it on myself to transport the energy of their visual language to clothes – just as one can assemble furniture and art works to create a unique interior world," he said. Sleeveless belted sheath dresses were overlaid with black python lace and trimmed with black ribbon while silk shorts in mint green or black were teamed with tops with Braque-inspired doves and stars applique. Other elegant looks included tailored white dresses with black trim and an electric blue shift dress with a Cubist-inspired inset. For evening, stand-out looks included a colour-blocked silk mousseline gown with yellow bodice, pearl grey skirt and black Mollino-inspired embroidery. Others named as an influence on the collection by Gn included another Cubist, the French painter and sculptor Fernand Leger, and Scottish contemporary artist Peter Doig. Gn's last ready-to-wear collection in March was inspired by the Austrian art world's Koloman Moser and Josef Hoffmann and Britain's Arts and Crafts movement. Nine days of women's ready-to-wear fashion for spring/summer 2014 are due to wrap up in Paris on Wednesday. – AFP, September 29, 2013. |
| Japanese designers take centre stage at Paris fashion show Posted: 29 Sep 2013 07:56 AM PDT In a typically experimental collection from Watanabe, who has said he is not "interested in the mainstream", models sported hair arrangements that were art works in themselves. The look was matched by dresses with long fringes that looked like stalactites hanging from the roof of a cave. Sheer embroidered fabrics continued the experimental feel at Tsumori Chisato. Looks that stood out included a skirt with a bamboo basket-style knit teamed with an off the shoulder print top and feminine print dresses. Meanwhile, Yohji Yamamoto late Friday departed in part from his trademark black with looks in electric colours that had industry journal Women's Wear Daily bemused. The designer after starting with classic, Yamamoto lean, black tailoring embarked on a "rudderless course, veering from sporty neon layers to pixilated camouflage to spongy knit gowns", it said.
