The iconic Dior show:
Tricolor show: Rynshu
This year, the Rynshu collection is entitled “Tricolor” and is directly inspired by the three colours of the French flag. The Japanese designer has created his spring/summer 2020 man’s collection to pay tribute to these three colours of equality. It was therefore quite naturally that he came up with the idea of creating a unisex collection. The looks of her collection were chic and original with costume sleeves to rework with creativity and simplicity. The choice of materials and motifs allowed Rynshu to reflect the vision of France. The designer has also chosen an emblematic location in the capital to present his new collection. This is the Monsieur Bleu restaurant overlooking the Seine and the Eiffel Tower.
The Parisian brand Gab+Riel presented its first fashion show at Hôtel Alfred Sommier in the 8th arrondissement of the capital. The designer of this new brand is the former famous PSG footballer: Lass Diarra. The setting of the show was in perfect harmony with the theme of the collection: a couture garment based on the French heritage and cuts that were both luxurious and relaxed. Gab+Riel is also inspired by the sportwear in vogue this season. Both modern and functional, GAB+Riel is an ode to craftsmanship.
Tatras: first catwalk of the Milanese brand in Paris
“I do not like popularity based on lies. My dream has always been to have a reputation based on Truth.” Masanaka Sakao, Tatras creative director.
Tatras chose the famous Salle Pleyel in Paris, where the last Oscar ceremony took place, to present its new Spring/Summer Man collection entitled “Lies & Truth”. Skaters introduced the show with skateboard demonstrations. This new collection is inspired by sportwear was in collaboration with Steve Berra, The Berrics and Nick Walker. Transparent and waterproof materials were part of materials in the Tatras looks this season. 3 Themes are addressed during the show. A part is urban, mainly black, ultra-light, with a technology patented in Germany. A military atmosphere is also one of the themes of the collection. Indeed, we can notice the contrast between technical mountain clothing and vintage military clothing. Finally, there is a Californian atmosphere composed of fine Japanese nylon clothing and a palette of soft and delicate colours: sage, coral, butter, butter, sand, light blue and celestial.
Japan inspiration show: Auralee & Christian Dad
Auralee: Fashion prize of Tokyo
Auralee´s designer Ryota Iwai was born in Kobe, Japan. His collection is in perfect harmony with the Japan spirit. The Spring/Summer 202 Men´s and Women´s collection are in keeping with the Japanes label´s commitment to quality exigence and purity of style. The color palette has a soothing calming quality yet feels expressive, in graduations on neutral offset by white, pale blue, orange and contrasting dark colors for vibancy. Auralee´s spring/summer show was relaxing and in accordance with the setting and atmosphere.
Christian Dada: Spring Spring Summer 2020 “Pilgrimage”
Japanese designer Masanori Morokawa, for his 10 years of creation, has decided to immerse himself in his personal history to revisit through his collection the ancestral Japanese traditions of pilgrimage. It is inspired by the traditional pilgrim’s outfits for this spring/summer 2020 collection. Kimono-inspired jackets are made with details of jacket sleeves or military jackets, and are worn with large bermuda shorts and conical hats fully covered with a coordinated fabric. Masanori also uses pieces a little more sportwear inspired by hiking clothing. A soft tropical atmosphere emanates from these interpretations of Asian outfits that bind in flowing silk brocade or organza shirts, worn over dark trousers or superimposed under sportswear pieces. The summer shirts, which look like Hawaiian shirts, are printed with photos of amaryllis flowers, symbolically associated with mourning, created in collaboration with Nobuyoshi Araki.
Future Show: Walter Van Beirendonck & Andrea Crews
Walter Van Beirendonck: Witblitz
Walter Van Beirendonck has chosen the name “Alien Vintage” for his Spring/Summer 2020 collection. He was inspired by small extraterrestrial figurines to imagine and create the looks of his new collection. He also played with shapes and colours to give a futuristic dimension to his creations. His collection also bears the name “Witblitz” which means White Lightning. As a result, there are lightning flashes on several of his creations. Transparent and stretch fabrics are among the main materials in her collection.
