Seriously, she deserved a standing ovation for that one.
Even to this day, i think that this is her best Atelier runway collection. Everything is flawless: the cast, the styling, the energy and THE CLOTHES!
I don't think that in Couture and particulary on the runway, she has been that adventurous in terms of techniques, style and craftmanship.
The biais cut is flawless, the corsetry the colors...It's beyond! With this collection she had really found the right way to mix Gianni and her own style. Gianni's daywear used to be very classical and bourgeois, very inspired by the masters.
Her own heritage is much more pop culture inspired than Balenciaga and Courreges and it shows. The daywear is fabulous!
If i was a stylist (even today), i would put my client in a lot of pieces from this collection.
Such a good memory!
