A question of color on the catwalks of Paris
Print Edition
FAT ladies tend to be thin on the ground on the Paris catwalk.
But rising Dutch designer Liselore Frowijn made her ready-to-wear debut Tuesday with a colorful collection to light up autumn-winter inspired by the feminist artist Niki de Saint Phalle’s proudly voluptuous “Nanas.”
Her show with its eye-catching zebra-striped trouser suits was full of the bold and joyous colors of the sculptor’s liberated ladies.
Finnish designer Tuomas Merikoski picked up the nomad theme in his show for Aalto which drew on the experience of Sami youth drawn to the country’s capital.
These “urban outcasts” are caught between their nomadic traditions and youth culture, he claimed.
Amid his black, purple and pink layered outfits, Merikoski dared a line of very natty brown check suit combos not seen since the 1970s glory days of Ron Burgundy and “Anchorman.”
In contrast, the Japanese label Anrealage banished color pretty much altogether, going instead for 50 shades of grey that ranged from beautifully cut feminine dresses to high-tech shoulder-padded power suits.
But like Frowijn, cashmere specialist Lucien Pellat-Finet insisted people need color in their lives in these trying times.
With the same idea in mind, Italian designers Dolce and Gabbana launched a limited “Paris Je T’aime” collection Tuesday in tribute to fashion capital using the red, white and blue colors of the French flag.
