Haute Couture S/S 06 Paris, Schedule

Looking forward to Gaultiers show, especially the hair!
 
armani is gonna be corny

ralph rucci and versace show couture work in thir ready to wear.
 
Glad to see the Dior show comes back to the Bois de Boulogne. I feel like the Grand Palais overshadowed the clothes. Most reviews were more fascinated by the venue rather than the presentation.
 
^ I believe they gave up showing in a fashion show after S/S 05 or F/W 0405.... Pitty, because I really enjoyed their shows...

maybe they were, but the Grand Palais is a very important place for Paris so to held a show there is a big deal i think, plus as you might have alredy seen on the dior video all the lights that came out of it when the show was going on, you could probably see the dior show from all the different places of the city, wich gives a sence of trascendence i a way i think.

i remember that last fall with the resort collection we already knew that John had visited Perú and that was probably be one of the sources of inspiration for the show, but this season at least i am totally clueless, what will it be, a cuote from someone famous, a new unexplored country or civilization, a character? i guess will have to wait and see.

wich ones Mr Dale, Rose Torrente´s, Christophe Josse´s, (who´s presenting his own line fot the second time this season, his first one was very interesting) or Julien Fournié, in my opinion Torrente´s murderer?.



by the way the calendar is already on it´s definitive state, no Jean Louis Scherrer this time :cry: and Givenchy´s venue is a museum, hmm i wonder how will it be, on an interview i read form Ricardo tisci that he wasn´t the sort of designer that liked or felt comfortable presenting his creations on a catwalk wich for a couple of season´s is good but in the end start to anoy the journalist and if they are very calmed and unenergetic as his previous ones i totally agree with them.

Paris poised for summer's haute couture dazzle
Fri Jan 20, 11:01 AM ET


PARIS (AFP) - Haute couture designers will unveil their sartorial vision for summer 2006 starting, as the rarified, made-to-order luxury sector seeks to show its strength despite a reduced number of labels taking to the catwalk.

The French couture federation's official calendar includes 16 shows over three days, from marquis names Chanel, Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, Jean Paul Gaultier and Givenchy to lesser known designers such as Franck Sorbier, Dominique Sirop and Adeline Andre.
Only eight of the 10 French labels that meet the rigorous technical requirements of haute couture will step into the creative spotlight this season. Emanuel Ungaro will desist for the fourth time since announcing in 2004 that haute couture was no longer in step with what women wanted.
The other no-show in the French capital is Jean-Louis Scherrer, which said in November that forgoing the spring-summer 2006 show did not mean that it had lost its appetite for fashion's most exclusive market.
The expense and intricate savoir-faire that goes into these entirely hand-made garments regularly prompts questions about whether haute couture is commercially viable in today's world.
But Didier Grumbach, president of the couture federation and chamber of haute couture, said all the signs indicated that the business was alive and kicking. "The couture calendar is more dense than ever," he told AFP.
Haute couture gives an undeniable sheen to the image of designers who choose to send their styles down the runway as part of the official line-up, he said, adding "whatever happens, they are seen."
Getting on to the official calendar "has the capacity to institutionalise a brand," and to reassure financial backers, he said.
Adeline Andre, which burst on to the haute couture calendar last year, has recently attracted private investment allowing the house to develop. It now plans to hire new staff, and intends to market, from the end of next month, a women's ready-to-wear collection for autumn-winter 2006-07.
Beside the French design houses, Italian veteran Giorgio Armani gets the artistic ball rolling on Monday, with compatriots Maurizio Galante and Valentino following on his heels.
After graduating from several seasons on the "off" circuit to the official couture calendar last July, Portugal's Felipe Oliveira Baptista will confirm his place in the highest fashion firmament with his show on Monday.
Fans of Lebanon's Elie Saab will be eager to see how he follows up on spring-summer 2005's offering of warm turquoise, yellow, pale green and coral hues that seemed fit for Mediterranean mermaids.
And French designer Christophe Josse, formerly the right-hand man of Rose Torrente-Mett, founder of the now-defunct Torrente house, features for the first time on the official calendar.
Grumbach said he now had his sights set firmly on trying to entice big names with a "couture image and savoir-faire" such as Nina Ricci, Lanvin, Rochas and Balenciaga back to the haute couture stage.
Running parallel, the unofficial "off" calendar sees more than 20 designers make the most of the international focus to showcase their collections, including two newcomers, Romy Smits of Belgium and Indonesian Farah Angsanah.

To be honest, I have no idea. I think I mean the one you call Torrente's murderer. If that was the last designer for Torrente. I enjoyed his odd works, but I could see how some people would caal him the murderer of Torrente.

As for themes of shows, I am expecting the baroque to really kick in. But we will see tomorrow if I am right... only one day left!
 
ahh i didn't realize christophe josse was the last designer for torrente... i'm going to his show on tuesday. very excited to see how this will turn out!
