VALENTINO - PRETTY IN PINK
Valentino presents “pretty in pink” in its
new autumn/winter 2022 ready-to-wear
collection. Just as it was certainly a bold
innovation for designer Pierpaolo Piccioli,
given the potential for the ready-to-wear
styles to appear repetitively pink, he
switched to a brooding black palette. The
transition from glowing pink above
chunky 70s platforms to suspenseful yet
classy black — such contrast unveil his
master design control.
CECILIE BAHNSEN - ELEGANT
LAYERING
Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen had her
Paris Fashion Week catwalk debut. The
show opened with a reading of Tove
Ditlevsens 'Night Wandering’. "Cecilie
first began to read Tove Ditlevsen’s poetry
as a teenager," the brand explained. "Later,
in her 20s, she identified with Tove’s search
to find her voice. Tove was a prolific
chronicler of girls and women, writing
fearlessly about their complexity and
waywardness and struggle for a place in
the world.” Inspired by Ditlevsen’s poem,
she designed her collection with
shimmering materials embracing the
toughness and ordeal to take a woman
through the day and night.
CHRISTIAN DIOR - CAT SUIT
For the Christian Dior autumn-winter
22/23 ready-to-wear collection, Maria
Grazia Chiuri opens the doors to a new
era! Dior icons, such as the Bar jacket, are
modified through a unique encounter
between master craftsmanship and
technical innovation. The first model to
kick-start this collection wore a body suit
outlined in light-up-in-the-dark
fluorescent green. Behind this collection
is a reflection of Chiuri’s justified
framework of female empowerment.
Needless to say, this has got to be the
jumpsuit of the year!
LOUIS VUITTON - OVERSIZED
HoYeon Jung wears Louis Vuitton readyto-wear
autumn/winter 2022-2023
fashion collection. Nicolas Ghesquière
brings forth young adulthood in his
collection, calling it “an excursion into a
perceptible, fleeting, and decisive
moment when everything comes to the
fore, in all its innocence and insight. The
impermanence and beautiful volatility of
adolescence.” He also played with
androgynous tailoring, mostly in
oversized shapes as a day-to-day look.
The randomness of his design symbolises
“freedom is all,” he added, “without
directive or impediment.”
