n. All the intricate details, the unique craftsmanship, and the luxurious fabrics used for Couture are aspects that to this day still excite me. I hope that staying at home wearing loungewear doesn't make people forget the field of high fashion and eradicate it slowly.
Today I want to present three fashion shows from the Spring Couture 2021 season that caught my attention. I know that people still want to be informed about the latest collections in the fashion industry, know about the concept behind each look, and I still want to provide this information from my perspective to all of you.
We got a sneak peek of the Haute Couture Spring 2021 collection by Schiaparelli when Kim Kardashian wore a similar piece to what was showcased recently for her Christmas celebration. The Internet compared the bodice top to Hulk's body, the grinch, etc., but drove a lot of attention to the fashion house.
I have seen this shaping technique before where the garment/accessory is molded into the shape of a woman's torso. Still, Daniel Roseberry added abs and shredded muscles to a women's figure, which is completely new. I workout hard for that aesthetic, so I appreciate the design, and if you notice, the rest of the silhouettes that accompany the "muscles" are simplistic and loose. There is no doubt that Roseberry's forte is jewelry combined with clothes.
I have my own clothing brand, but if someone comes to me and asks me, Lina, do you want to work at Schiaparelli in the design team? I would immediately say YES!. I have mentioned this before here on my blog - Daniel Roseberry revived Schipparelly, and I really like his work and how the fashion house is presenting modern art clothing pieces.
Iris van Herpen
We all know Iris Van Herpen's work for her staple geometrical details, 3D printed garments, and structural looks, but this season this collection screamed to me less "industrialness" more flowingness. Iris Van Herpen definitely tried more organic shapes for this spring 2021 collection, and I also see a more unique approach to evening wear and red carpet gowns.
Seeing vibrant colors in any of her designs is refreshing, and I am always amazed about how far ahead this designer seems to be. Iris Van Herpen collaborated with Parley for the Ocean Plastic fabric made from upcycled marine debris to create some of her pieces and based the collection on the enigmatic fungi kingdom, calling her work ‘Roots of Rebirth'.
Valentino
A show that starts with my all-time favorite muse, Mariacarla Boscono, has to be mention in this list (even when her look wasn't my favorite ). When I saw this new collection of the well-known Valentino house, I couldn't stop noticing how their couture moved towards daywear style. Trench coats, trousers, classic shirts, and a few distinctive reflective pieces were presented by Pierpaolo Piccioli. It might be how the creative director of this brand is trying to drive attention to couture during these times when people are choosing comfort over adornment.
A great way that Valentino balanced the classic pieces with a more modern look was by implementing reflective metallic fabrics, shiny accessories, and glittery makeup. Also, the proportion of neutral and neon colors is perfect for Spring. What are your thoughts about making couture more "wearable"?
