The best thing about Alber Elbaz’s show was that you could see yourself in every piece. And really, I mean every piece.
His clothes have a feminine, sensual touch and they work so well with the female body.
You can imagine yourself wearing the clothes to dinner, to the office, when you’re feeling less than perfect, when you’re feeling perfect.
To those readers who do not follow fashion, this may sound like an obvious goal for a clothing designer.
I can assure you, it is not. And when clothes are wearable, they are hardly ever done with such chicness!
This season the color palette was dark — all blacks and blues. The silhouette was more long and lean with an emphasis on horizontal and sometimes vertical seaming.
This meant that a dress was made of strips of taffeta almost like a venetian blind, except it never looked heavy, it moved with the model’s body.
There was a shorter version of the dress that Tilda Swinton wore to the Oscars just last week, and although I know she took a beating from the so-called “fashion experts” on the red carpet (Please! Can they never think beyond the gown?), that dress was beautiful, elegant and allowed a woman to have the choice of, perhaps, eating a croissant with her breakfast. It’s nice to have that choice.
The clothes were finished off with a mid-calf stiletto boot or a stiletto pump with a gold heel, and a big, chunky rectangular-configuration necklace. It all made for one of the best shows in Paris!” /themoment.blogs.nytimes.com
