Première Vision: Fall / Winter 2008 - 9 September 21, 2007, Paris , France

KEY WORDS

Exploring, Dream, Transforming, Developing, Deviation, Fleshy (pulpeux),Troubled, Cold, Raw, Ambivalence, double liaison, simply visible, soft thickness.

KEY TRENDS:

Ambivalance: interior vs exterior, shown/hidden, material collusion. Themes around nocturnal lights in electrical blue, shiny or matte night blue. “ nuit complices” with butterfly inspirations: sequiences, motifs. Ambigous in material ( shiny and matte in different side of the fabric) as well as positive contradictions especially in inside outside colour combinations ( black outside, orange inside). It developes into frosted, vaporous effects, images. The whole theme refers to changing states and transforming appeareces.

Alchimie: the power of raw, rugged, irregular, themes on romantic military, runny substances and especially a supple fluidity and velvety fineness.

Distressing: more around the idea of 3D fabrics. Structured crepes, bumpy effects, soft thickness, felted double faces and cosy feel.

Anticipation: A sustainable future, fair-trade ( equitable), recyclable, non- polluting, scientific inspiration. “Doucer de pierre”: white soft and flexible fabrics but with a tough look. It is abouth the weight of roundness and gleaming weightlessness colored white grey and transparent, all with a tamed rigour ( rigeur apprivoisée). The theme also developes in sort of an outward coldness: black vinyl exterieur(shiny leather effect) but wool worm interiors.

This season has developed the idea of a secret garden, in parallel to our inner world that we don’t show to the exterior. The double sided fabrics as well richely – wide offer of very different themes from floral to graffities to Chinese motives- printed linings are perfectly in line with this concept. Discrete from outside but such a richness from inside!
