十件不是人穿的COUTURE . HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE COUTURE PIECES. THE BEST OF COUTURE FW19

Written by : Monique Ying @monying_my

2019 couture 的伸展台是一埸狂歡盛宴。經過一系列的研究,我發現了一個很有趣的現象 – 現時很多設計師(e.g. Elie Saab) 開始探索世界各文族的文化,有中國的、日本的、非洲文族的,還有摩洛哥的。 設計師們對這些文化的了解愈來愈成熟,亦為我們正名。 Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino等大牌子以它們的超凡作品證明了創意與靈感永遠也不會消逝,同時亦表現了它們將永遠推翻時裝定義的精神。

排除高級定製時裝週的精彩細節,以下是我於2019秋季couture中十件最喜歡的作品。

2019 couture runway truly is a blast. After some decent research, I found that it is interesting a lot of designers such as Elie Saap are trying to explore on ethnics, in Chinese, Japanese, African and Moroccan cultures. Their perceptions on these cultures are getting more mature and somehow, giving us justice. Big Brands such as Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino also proves us that creativity and inspiration never dies by their extravagance designs, questioning the definition of fashion at all times.

Despite all the thrills from all details, here are ten of my favourite couture pieces from the 2019 couture runway.

GUO PEI FW17 HAUTE COUTURE WOMEN’S WEAR

我會說今季郭培是聰明的。

從Rihanna開始,中國高定時裝的聚光燈便一直在郭培身上。她的一切一切都被人強烈地討論中。於是上季她又做了一個讓人印象深刻的系列。但創意真的無窮無盡?從一開始這位中國設計師的評語便很極端,好壞參半。但在高定的舞台上,創意和技術同樣重要。因此今季她便直接專注於高級時裝本身的傳奇 – 美麗。通過新的、有高度光澤和閃耀的布料,用上最能顯示女性身材和味道的簡單和基本剪裁,打造出一個美麗、漂亮的系列。不明白為什麼我會說她聰明?想想有多少時裝品牌會一直做出讓你驚訝的創意?前幾季你或者對Gucci表示驚歎,但到今日你已經未必再有動力點開他們的最新相片了。從來一個品牌能屹立不倒的最大理由就是技術。因此郭培今季集中以技術為主題的話,一來可以讓她有更多時間擴展她的新想法,二來強調自已的穩打穩紮的技術。可以說是一舉兩得。
