In love as always

Oh no, this is the first time I'm not gushing all over Lemaire. Mostly because I absolutely despise the fabrics he used this season. I'm scared for the women's collection now, as they usually mirror each other...

Lemaire would have been absolutely wonderful for Jil Sander, if he hadn't already scored the job at Hermes. <3

^exactly.

i love this...the papery fabrics are simply perfect for summer. a perfect example of a designer who doesn't follow seasonal rules but somehow still manages to capture the feeling.

JUNE 25, 2014
PARIS
By Lee Carter

Following Milan, Christophe Lemaire's show this morning made for a palate-cleansing start to the Paris collections. Backstage, the young veteran of modern menswear said that there was "no concept [to it] because there was absolutely no artifice," making his point with a jab of the chin, French-style, and shrug of the shoulders. When laissez-faire dressing is so adroitly realized, why corrupt it with words or theory?

When cajoled, the designer (who, several years back, spearheaded Lacoste's transition from sport label to fashion brand) hinted that a "relaxed work ethic" had been on his mind. This he spun into roomy, no-fuss pieces nodding to men's classics—trenches, peas, parkas—but not adhering to the rules of formal tailoring. Models, hands in pockets, slowly circled the small white space in buttoned-up shirts with flat collars or none at all and, in some cases, with hems that had been straightened and elongated almost to the knee, as a tunic. Were these casual suits or fine pajamas? Either way, a triumph. Flurries of shirtfront cargo pockets neared folly, but without them the collection may have seemed too stripped down.

Jackets were not sculpted around the shoulders but rather moved about, and in concert with, the body like the sails of a mast, suggesting a distant nautical theme, while pants were widened to eighties proportions, mercifully not in the parachute way. By freeing the silhouette and restricting his palette to tone-on-tone masculine hues—navy, stone, ecru, black—Lemaire achieved a compact masterwork of minimalism.

Standardly great by Lemaire.

workmen's clothes seems to be a big trend in menswear this season i do love his unencumbered style of tailoring here, all pared down to the very basic essentials of the look. it's extremely refreshing, especially if you compare it to other designers who try to incorporate this aesthetic and yet fail from being unable to resist adding embellishments.

i wish i had the money to buy everything... as usual.

Pure love.
