Alaia FW 1989

My favorite Azzedine show is FW ‘88 but Fondation Alaïa took the video down recently! The collection is loosely based on the French actress Arletty - and I like how the outfits are a mix of masculine/feminine.

A lot of credit has to be given to Maggie for the success of this one - she has so much patience!

Chiuri and the PP could never.

The models would get killed trying to walk those stairs with PPP heels...

 

[Alquimista]

Men and Women working it. I can't believe how gorgeous the male models used to be. It was insane.
Also Sharon Stone in the audience. lol

And this one. Just pure masculine glamour.

There are quite a few Prada & Miu Miu shows that I enjoy revisiting but this one is special - eerie, somewhat prim & sexy. I like how Liu Wen, Shu Pei & Kasia Struss slither out in their exits…

I cannot not Include Karl of course. Fabulous clothes, energetic show! Still super modern…



Azzedine, always…
His big return (the 2001 show doesn’t count), with the support of his designers’s friends.

I would have included the FW1987 but they removed it.




This Gucci show…Maybe because it was his most controversial and influential.




Ultimate bourgeoise 40’s inspired satin duchess fest by Prada!



While it’s not necessarily my all time favorite collection from Nicolas at Balenciaga, I have always loved this collection and this show because it really felt like an achieved vision. It all works, the set, the references, the dramatic music and maybe that element of grandeur and showmanship that is more present here than before.




The only footage available. It had an impact on me back in the days when Paris Premiere used to broadcast full shows on TV. Super dramatic, fun and fierce. Back when models used to feel themselves walking a Galliano show ( and not doing ridiculous poses).



I always go back to this show after all…



Just because it was a fun show!
Not necessarily a spectacle but the clothes were the show!

Imitation of Christ SS 2001

Karl

Actually this may be a huge, huge long shot (and probably not the right forum for it) but does anyone know the track list for this show? Particularly the first one, I can’t get it out of my head and it’s been over three weeks

I know the Farben track, and "Lux Aeterna" from 2001: A Space Odyssey is in there but that's as far as I get.

His soundtracks were awesome

Imitation of Christ SS 2001

Oh man this takes me back to watch it on fashion files in middle school as a kid this was such an amazing experience what happened to them

 

[Cocteau Stone]

Full FULL show and soundtrack included. So wild and energetic with fabulous clothes. If only Viktor and Rolf would return to this as opposed to their current couture forays that are so saccharine and a bit self-serving:

Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2012 by Bill Gaytten

The redemption collection for Bill Gaytten, the much under appreciated creative director who carried the brand when it’s embroiled in the Galliano scandal (yes I know he screwed the previous HC up). I think this is a superb example of how “clean” and fresh a haute couture collection can be, like a good consommé. Not everything needs to be so rich all the time, but yet the magic is in the details. And the Lana soundtrack is



Yves Saint Laurent Fall 2010 by Stefano Pilati

It may not be widely recognized as Stefano Pilati’s best collection for YSL, but it’s the one that got me hooked onto the brand. How something could be so sexy without revealing anything. The religiosity. The strict lines. And that long necklace with the silhouette pendant dangling from left to right when the models walk is such a tease.



Lanvin Spring 2013 by Alber Elbaz

A rare exercise in monochromatism by Alber Elbaz, who is known for his excellent skills for playing with colours.



Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 by Lee Alexander McQueen

The last Lee McQueen collection in his entire life. It’s a f*cking poetry.



I would have posted a video of the Valentino Haute Couture Fall 2010 (The “Lolita” collection) but I can’t find any video with the original soundtrack. That’s one milestone collection that indicates a shift of entire HC culture towards catering for (really) young clients.
