Gilles Rosier A/W 07 Look-Book

[Scott]

it's so strange to me that this guy worked at kenzo and is still so underrated. i know he didn't do well there but i think it's because it just wasn't him....he's so much better within his own aesthetics,imo.

He was also a former assistant, chez Gaultier

Anywhoo, this all looks quite wonderful, however, the composition of the photos themselves kind of distract from what the garments actually look like..But it'd definitely be interesting to see more..

i've always enjoyed gilles. he's always done his own thing and he's always done it very well. i was just looking at some of the collections i've been missing and i cannot believe he always seems to go unoticed because all have been really strong.

you can see the rest of this one and past collections on his site-

Thanks, Scott! Here is a little more bio info.

A Paris native (born 1961), Gilles Rosier studied at the Paris Chambre Syndicale de la Couture.

After graduation, he worked at Pierre Balmain, Christian Dior and Jean Paul Gaultier before he decided to strike out on is own in 1992.

First, he launched GR816 label but after seven collections, he stopped and launched the label Gilles Rosier.

Both labels were successful commercially and gained exuberant praise from the fashion editors.

When Kenzo Takada was planning to retire, he looked for a designer who would continue the spirit and identity of the Kenzo label.

Giles Rossier trained under Kenzo Takada and designed several seasons of Kenzo's womenswear collections before Kenzo handed it over to him. He designed several collections for Kenzo and then left the company to concentrate on his own label.

I had all these images saved- they're just so nice.
I agree it's a bit hard to make out the clothes in some, but you definitely get a good feel for them.

thanks a lot, Scott. those pictures get me feel high sense...

 

[style_expert]

I heard he's only doing women's wear from now...unfortunately he had to stop with men's wear...such a shame because he's really talented

 

[LawrenCium]

omg...i love his cool men's line so much though...

 

[happyguy]

i first saw him in the book 'Young Fashion Designers' by Marta R.Hidalgo and i absolutely loved his work!!! went to his website and was so happy to be able to see more. love his designs and tailoring!!!

Not the most flattering pictures, it must be said, but the clothes have a mysterious look to them. The coats are very intriguing - it's a shame we can't see the details more clearly.

 

[LawrenCium]

me too, i was interested so much to the materials by the pictures of official site, especially boots are brilliant....

thanks for posting these scott...

 

[Dustcakeboy]

It's a luxe-overload...I mean this in the most positive sense!

Swoonworthy indeed.

And those boots!!!!

 

[Scott]

^it is really! truly,it's the kind of design and aesthetics that anybody from the more adventurous to somebody a bit more conservative can really appreciate. if anybody deserves some investment,i would hope the swiss textiles realises his work again for next year.

softie,i agree wholeheartedly. yeah you can't see the clothes explicitly but i think these images really give the clothes a rather hauntingly beautiful narrative.

 

[Scott]

btw,you are all quite welcome!

 

[Scott]

one other bit i'd like to point out about his work is not just tailoring but actually his cutting specifically. so stellar....it's the kind of thing that one has dreams about,really

there's something about the photos that reminds me of something.. maybe the dark lipstick, bright face, the 'v-shape' hat.. is it some sort of clown? clown's not a good word, but it reminds me of something like that.. something that has to do with theatre

LawrenCium i think so too!
everyone should check the website
more photos of really wonderful, luxurious materials
i see a nice subtle 'net' print on a lot too.. seems also like a circus reference
