pfw day 1

It’s Paris fashion week, or to be more precise Ten Days in Paris of shows,
fêtes and openings, crammed into one style marathon featuring  designers
from all over the world.  Day one got the ball rolling with three shows
from up-and-coming names : Simon Porte Jacquemus, Anthony Vaccarello and
Cedric Charlier.

Cédric Charlier is from Belgium, but he lives in Paris and his Fall
collection  plays hide and seek with tech fabrics, wool blankets, animal
scale leather, tweed and colored fur.   This mix sounds like science
fiction, but in fact Charlier is an artist who combines unexpected
ingredients for a smooth style cocktail with stand away coats, sweatshirt
tops, and patchwork dresses. His new jacket is cropped with a fitted front
and loose back. The leather scales look like urban mermaids and Charlier’s
colored fur—Fall’s big trend—shows up as a neck scarf or in jackets
that look like the fur was knitted with giant needles.

Anthony Vaccarello, another Belgian in Paris of Italian descent is the
best friend of girls with great legs and curves. Vaccarello showed off his
tailoring skills in dressy perfecto jackets and coats in black sheepskin
worn with new slouchy silk pants, wet look black and red leather and
asymmetrical skirts wih zippers. Then he took his razor-shrp knife to
stiff ruffles for wrap dresses in leather with bra cutouts and skirts so
short they’re barely more than a flounce.

Simon Porte Jacquemus is Paris’s boy wonder and his show at Palais de
Tokyo last night  began as a surrealist happening with the entire audience
suiting up in paper surgical gowns patched with odd dots before the show.
Fears that that we were all  going to be treated to a fashion shower were
unfounded, merci ! Jacquemus is a favorite of  Comme des Garçons and  his
current collection is featured at the Paris store.  If you can buy only
one thing this spring it should be a Jacquemus bicolor cap with “J’aime La
Vie“  produced by the inimitable Larose in the South of France. This was
Jacquemus’ most elaborate collection to date, a cartoon vision of  style
geometry with circle shape tunics in tech nylon, swing coats and dresses
held together with string like kites. Even the jacket pockets are
circle-shaped, T-shirts are morphed into dresses and it’s all worn with
simple white sneakers.
