Life and death are never only religious statements or philosophical thoughts, it is also a domain that artists never stop exploring and expressing. The approach to the Middle Ages, life and death are no longer just poetry chants. With the loss of beloved ones, you wonder what it will be like when the journey ends. Since death is inevitable, I prefer to imagine it as a dream, an alternative universe parallel to this world,where everything returns to its original state of true pureness and beauty. It is the startof a mysterious journey.
Guo Pei
On July 3rd, Guo pei has presented her Autumn/Winter 2019/20 Couture collection at the beaux-Arts of Paris. Under the magnificient glass dome of the Cour Vitree hall, a whole new universe emerges. Here, light and darkness co-exist, angels and Satan sit next to each other. For this collection, pineapple hemp fabric, the treasured material of the Philippines, is widely used. Crows play an essential role in the Guo Pei Alternate Universe. At the border life and death, crows are the messengers of wisdom, shuttling the universes for his compatriots in the forms of hand-embroidered beetles, spiders, butterflies and bees. Behind each arch in the realm created for the show, is a meditative journey guarded by devils and angels. Here, gods have human nature, humans have animals nature, plants and animals are given godhood – giving life to the Guo Pei Alternate Universe.
The Maurizio Galante 2019 collection is dedicated to Mexico and its traditions. It is a tribute to these ancestral cultures that have managed to find a balance between man and nature. Resplandor is also a tribute to the first travellers of the old world. Maurizio Galante’s creations are like a travel book because of their colours, volumes, fabrics and embroidery. On almost every one of his creations we find boleros inspired by bouquets or natural architecture. Some pieces pay tribute to the past, to the know-how of 16th century tailors, but they also bring an avant-garde dimension, thanks to a sculptural work of superimposed geometric elements. Each face of the models was surrounded by metal jewellery in collaboration with the artist Carlos Piedras. Mandarin, papaya, plaster, creamy white, night black, mint green, magenta, cochineal are the wild colours of the Italian designer’s new collection.
Romantic Show Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2019 – Farhad Re
The Italian-Persian stylist Farhad Re presented his first couture collection on Sunday 30 June 2019 in Paris at the prestigious headquarters of the Italian embassy. The romantic collection tells the story of the women of the future who leave an increasingly contaminated earth behind for a new planet. Embodying the sculptures of dresses with details such as sidebands and folded organza that resemble the pages of a book, she takes the most precious creation of mankind, culture, with her quest. The collection shows Farhad Re’s love of contrasts through the use of colours and the choice of fabrics, nude shades combined with the hardness of black, questioning the lightness of organza with the stiffness of python leather that cuts the romantic lines of silk dresses. The collection’s integrity is a mysterious and unpredictable blend of romance, dressing a sophisticated and delicate woman. For the FW19 Couture collection, Farhad Re wants to surprise and use embroidery, not to make the dresses richer, but more interesting and unique, just like a beautiful book that we enjoy not because of the number of pages, but because of the surprise it holds, and that fascinates the audience not to think about the end, but to enjoy page after page.
