WOMEN's STYLES
Les annees folles
The most elegant period for women’s fashion in the twentieth century returns as an irresistible ally in the exposition which recently closed at the Galleria Museum in Paris. Lighter shapes and heels that are never exaggeratedly high; leather and fabric together; delicate botanical patterns of early Japanese inspiration; and a delightful palette of neutral blondes.
Deco
European design meets oriental decoration. Here again, the spotlight is on fabrics, leathers with fabric prints or evident grains, and contrasts in gloss and matte. The open-toe continues to be popular, but the ballerina is in perfect tune with this style. Here, heels can definitely be unusual. The colours are dense and the metals are burnished.
European sophisticate
Ironic and urban is the byword for the summer pump or the exquisitely fashioned “bare” sandals. A shoe that is low-cut on the foot reveals the beginning of the toes. Decisive heels, high but not necessarily spike. The palette of neutral colours is brand new. The image is Claudia Cardinale in the film, “The Magnificent Cuckold.”
Chic sport
The seduction exuded by the woman who has everything and doesn’t have to prove anything. A sporty city wear that has nothing to do with sports, it is comfortable and luxurious, more saddlery than active wear. It is leather and fabric with cord and tartan patterns including flat heels and comfortable shapes.
The plateau sandal
Wedges and plateau continue to be at centre state. No limits to global inspiration. Southern Africa, the East and the Mediterranean all come together. Materials like wood and leather, fabric and metal one after the other on the same model. Sculptured heels is always at the centre of the attention including mimetic and animal effects and small floral prints.
The gem sandal
The marine inspiration is a true novelty. The slightly retro siren with a touch of Star Trek loves pearls and mother of pearl, but also netting, braiding and marine encrustations including stones in a rainbow of coral reef colours.
MEN's STYLES
Plastic elegance
Mood and colours
The new elegance means clear-cut, clean, minimal, plastic lines both in terms of volume and material. The allusion to the late eighties is clear. The simplicity of expressing an almost cyber beauty comes together in a style that, at times, re-echoes androgyny, but in reverse the colours re-echo the design of the period. The very dark tones of the resins, illuminated by polishing are counterpoised to intense, but porous tones, like cement in sophisticated nuance.
Materials
Preferably, the materials are soft and thin, ultra-light: Nappa leathers, nappa calfskin, brushed at times with lacquered or mirrored effects, surfaces may be smooth and clear, wavy with light drumming. The braid work is fundamental both in leather and in corded fabrics, but also open - work interpreted in a modular graphic key.
Evanescence
Mood and colours
The new casual is both aggressive an ethereal, characterised by a mix of drive and sophistication. It is extreme in interpretation and in proportions but pervaded by elegant details conceived in extreme and poetic romance. A chromatic palette characterised by the neutral melange. The rich pastel accents are inspired directly by the iridescence o the jellies.
Materials
The concept of evanescence also accompanies the creation of materials - thin, light, impalpable, wide use of reptile skins, valuable skins or in contraposition ultra light chamois combined with pearlised calfskins. Fabrics are fundamental, compact cotton or technical satins or in alternative, airy structures like netting and tulle.
