Balmain goes back to the roots

Balmain He who has no past does not have a future, this is what we learned from Balmain's show Paris fashion week،

Executed by the creative designer Olivier Rousteing,

Fashion is a wonderful way to bring back the beginnings of any beginning fifties The intent is to show the creativity that the founder of the house possessed.

But with a modern approach that notes the use of modern technologies that keep pace with the new millennium.

Idea and inspiration

What combines Balmain with “Saint Laurent”?

There is an intellectual affinity between Balmain and Saint Laurent that goes back to the beginnings of each.

The house is approaching Saint Laurent with its new, as the huge female ribbons are strongly present and almost in the majority of

Costumes from draped blouses in the form of ribbons, or metallic geometric dresses with a knot-inspired cut,

Lined with black satin. Ribbons are seen in wrap skirts and even tiaras, blouses and off-the-shoulder dresses, ending in black and white satin ribbon high boots.

Whoever goes back to the history of the founder realizes that these inspirations come from the years of work in the forties and the rapprochement with his colleagues such as Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy and others, as the designer is affected even subconsciously by his creative surroundings.

Neoprene is very present

In addition to good and elegant fabrics such as crepe, satin, and polished silk, the house relied on modern fabrics such as neoprene, so we saw huge square bags, shiny shoes, and skirts decorated with layers and pleats.

Which sway with every step and are coordinated with strong colors such as fuchsia or red, along with black neoprene in one modern look. The style, designed by Dar Balmain for Fall 2023, is crowned with a bouquet of PVC earrings that resemble a crescent moon and woolen hats.

The creative Scandinavian designer, Johnny Johansen, takes us to a primitive world, where he depicted a distant enchanted forest, whose clothes are characterized by high-tech woven leaves.

With shoes inspired by wild prints such as high boots, and green dresses made of leaves

And wildflower petals. The designer also used the burning fabric to design woolen dresses and skirts with distorted edges that reflect the splendor of creativity in the primitive green color of nature.

It's the age of artificial intelligence at Courrèges

In his Fall 2023 collection, designer Nicolas de Felice emulates the spirit of youth, with simple minimalist designs that do not carry any burden.

Intricacies It shows young models holding a mobile phone while they are busy with the electronic screen in their hands.

The dresses made of silver lame, with the character of Slip On Dresses, attracted us.

At the chest, the common denominator of the gray and black pieces that graced the Courreges show are the necklaces

In the form of a large circle that rests at the chest, and is equipped with wires that are knotted from the back of the neck.

The designer also used short blouses, tops and corsets printed with the logo of the house, with low-waisted, leather or shiny lamé trousers.
