敬请期待中文版 Haider Ackermann (left) and Olivier Theyskens (right) for Autumn/Winter 2018 Indigital Palette perfect at Haider Ackermann The swirling mist evaporated and colours emerged into the light - aquamarine, blush pink, amethyst - shades that hovered between sweet and sharp. Haider Ackermann Autumn/Winter 2018 Indigital Haider Ackermann had come back to his heartland which is complexity made to appear simple with both drapes and shades of colour. The models, as ever, moved through the space as though lost in a distant world. To say that declination of colour is the designer's strength might sound patronising. But not when these artistic shades are so central to his meaning: to give a touch of mystery to everything he presents. Haider Ackermann Autumn/Winter 2018 Indigital Throughout the show, Lou Reed's gravelly song Vanishing Act got to the heart of the matter. "It must be nice to disappear - float into a mist," sang the rock musician capturing with his words - as with Haider's clothes - a desire to retreat from this tough world. Haider Ackermann Autumn/Winter 2018 Indigital "We are going through strange times so I wanted to have this fragility - but really something very uplifting," the designer said. "It's tough - but at the same time - there was a kind of happiness, due to the colour." Haider Ackermann Autumn/Winter 2018 Indigital So, what about that extraordinary palette of unconventional colours drawn from the edges and creases of the spectrum? "I don't know why I'm choosing my colours, it's just intuition," Haider said. And while the clothes seemed familiar, the colour cast its spell.

Olivier Theyskens Autumn/Winter 2018 Indigital Even all that black in textures from satin to leather was still not enough for the delicacy of the designer whose big, black woollen sweater seemed to evaporate below the hips into lace. Olivier Theyskens Autumn/Winter 2018 Indigital After shaking off the dark and turning on the lightness of white, Theyskens began to play with colour, mixed with the sensuality of the designs. Olivier Theyskens Autumn/Winter 2018 Indigital The magic was in the gentleness of the colours: lettuce green for a slim velvet dress, cut on the bias to end at mid-calf. Or an even lighter rain-washed sky blue to follow after another dose of black. Then a dash of deep green, a pause for black, wine red and scarlet. Olivier Theyskens Autumn/Winter 2018 Indigital All this comes after a retrospective of Theyskens' work in Antwerp last year. The designer has not moved so far from his own fashion tree - but his work is charming. (责任编辑:admin) |
