THE 'FRANCH GIRL STYLE' OF CELINE BY HEIDI SLIMANE

"Parade" is a short movie dedicated to a Celine F/W21 prêt-à-porter collection, curated by Heidi Slimane and shot in the gardens D'André Le Notre de Château de Vaux-Le-Vicomte.

 

THE DISCREET CHARM OF A WHITE COLLAR

This simple detail has no time, a white collar gives a touch of class to a black dress. The reference to Pierrot’s maxi-collar in the 6o's Valentino dress is evident, while the historical references from which Alessandro Michele starts for Gucci recall the fashion of the fifteenth century. Heidi Slimane has a more discreet style, a small Pierrot collar makes Celine’s dress unique.

FASHION LIPS

It is dated 1966, the first Yves Saint Laurent's dress with lips on breasts,  pop art inspired collection. Lips motif get back in 1971 with a collection which at the time was considered rather daring. Heidi Slimane pays tribute to him in 2014 with lips printed dresses and  sequins embroidered lips on one-shoulder top.

E' datato 1966 il primo abito di Yves Saint Laurent con bocca sul seno, collezione ispirata alla pop-art. Motivo di bocche ripreso nel 1971 con una collezione che all'epoca fu considerata piuttosto audace. Heidi Slimane gli rende omaggio e nel 2014 sfilano abiti e con bocche stampate e top monospalla con bocche ricamate di paillettes.

Apologie

SAINT LAURENT:FROM SLIMANE TO VACCARELLO

Saint Laurent: after four years as creative director of the Maison, at the expiration of contract, Heidi Slimane is replaced by Anthony Vaccarello. It seems acright choice, both love to represent bad girls with skinny bodies, banded by skinny lines , sexy with a rock spirit, but the aesthetics of Slimane is gloomier, more underground, dirtier and theatrical, more real and touching. I really loved the collections designed by Slimane for Saint Laurent, each outfit was the representation of a mood from which anyone could draw inspiration, glamor and pop at the same time, close to the concept of street fashion in which it was Yves Saint Laurent pioneer.

Saint Laurent: dopo quattro anni come direttore creativo della Maison, alla scadenza del contratto Heidi Slimane viene sostituito da Anthony Vaccarello. La scelta può sembrare gusta, entrambe amano rappresentare bad girls con fisici magrissimi fasciati da linee skinny, sexy e con uno spirito rock, ma l'estetica di Slimane è più cupa, più underground, più sporca e teatrale, più vera e toccante. Ho amato molto le collezioni disegnate da Slimane per Saint Laurent, ogni outfit era la rappresentazione di un mood da cui chiunque poteva trarre ispirazione, glamour e pop al tempo stesso, vicino a quel concetto  di moda da strada di cui lo stesso Yves Saint Laurent fu pioniere.

HOW TO BE SAINT LAURENT

Delabrè models, no makeup, disheveled, on Saint Laurent's catwalkt that this next summer 2016 collection confirms his rock, after / party style. Heidi Slimane doesn't get distracted from trend and dictates of fashion; he goes straight on his way, that's the style he loves and pursues, models will not move away from the subjects of his photo collection book: "Rock Diary" where he photographed the underground rock world of Los Angeles.
Evening dresses or mini dresses / as lingerie, transparent, low-cut, black, nude, ivory, silver, with embroidery, lace, rhinestone played down with leather vest, denim jackets, vintage fur, worn over boots alike Hunter (that does so much Glastonbury), or strap stiletto sandals. All models with tiara on her head (inspired by Courtney Love, Slimane's muse in 2013 she was photographed for the Saint Laurent campaign), all to confirm the persistence of the designer to maintain its consistent style, also honored by commercial success.
What really makes this collection so strong is the styling, the atmosphere that suggests, everybody can approach this style in a simple way, without spending millions from Sain Laurent. Who among us does not have a denim jacket or a pair of Hunter Boots? Just wear them in the right way!

 Modelle delabrè, senza trucco, spettinate, sfilano sulla passerella di Saint Laurent che per questa collezione della prossima estate 2016 conferma il suo stile rock, after party. Heidi Slimane non si fa distrarre dalle tendenze e dai dettami della moda, va dritto per la sua strada, è questo lo stile che ama e che persegue, i modelli che sfilano non si distanziano dai soggetti delle sue raccolte di fotografie "Rock Diary", dove fotografa il mondo rock underground di Los Angeles.
Abiti lunghi o mini dress/lingerie trasparenti, scollatissimi, neri, carne, avorio, argento, con ricami, pizzo, strass, sdrammatizzati da maxi chiodi o gilet di pelle, giubbini jeans, pellicce dall'aspetto vintage, indossati su boots di gomma stile Hunter (che fa tanto Glastonbury), o su sandali a listini e tacco stiletto. Tutte le modelle con coroncina di strass in testa ( ispirate a Courtney Love, già musa di Slimane nel 2013, fu fotografata per la campagna Saint Laurent), tutto a confermare la tenacia dello stilista a mantenere il suo stile coerente, premiato anche dalle vendite sempre più in ascesa.
Ciò che rende veramente forte questa collezione è lo styling, l'atmosfera che ci suggerisce, tutte possono avvicinarsi a questo stile in modo semplice, anche senza dover spendere milioni da Saint Laurent. Chi di noi non ha una giacchetta di jeans sdrucita o degli Hunter Boots? Basta indossarli nel modo giusto!

PARIS FASHION ROCK

Fashion in Paris is always rocker.
Even with the arrival of the Swiss Paulo Melim Andersson, who trained at Saint Martin and the Royal College of Art in London, alongside the artistic director Cecilia Brönström, the brand Zadig & Voltaire confirms his free spirit and his soul rock, for the autumn/winter 2015 collection.
Same philosophy for Saint Laurent that now in 2012 is led by the most rocker designers, Heidi Slimane, Parisian, class '68, (to consult always his rock diary: photographs in black and white with no glamorous patina taken from 2007 to 2011, where Heidi Slimmane shows his infatuation with the rock universe).
Bohemian influences also for the collection of Zadig & Voltaire; a lot of black leather skirts, but also vests and jackets in fur patchwork, some floral motives and strictly Texan boots underneth. Darker and more raw instead Saint Laurent's rock; black leather alternates with rich fabrics and taffeta, tutu skirts, fishnet stockings torn and the classic tuxedo is worn over a white shirt with thin straps and tie glitter slim.
I love rock'n roll!

La moda a Parigi è sempre più rock.
Anche con l'arrivo dello svizzero Paulo Melim Andersson, formatosi alla Saint Martin e al Royal College of Art di Londra, che si affianca alla direttrice artistica Cecilia Brönström, il marchio Zadig&Voltaire conferma il suo spirito libero e il suo animo rock, per la collezione autunno/inverno 2015.
 Stessa filosofia anche per Saint Laurent che ormai dal 2012 è guidata dal più rockettaro degli stilisti, Heidi Slimane, parigino, classe '68, (da consultare sempre il suo rock diary, fotografie in bianco e nero senza patinature glamour scattate dal 2007 al 2011 dove Heidi Slimmane mostra tutta la sua infatuazione per l'universo rock).
Influenze anche Bohemien per la collezione di Zadig&Voltaire, tanta pelle nera, minigonne, ma anche gilet e giacche in pelliccia patchwork, qualche fantasia floreale e sotto rigorosamente stivaletto texano. Più cupo e crudo invece il rock di Saint Laurent, la pelle nera è alternata da tessuti ricchi e taffetà, gonne tutù, calze a rete strappate e il classico tuxedo è indossato su camicia bianca con bretelle sottilissime e cravatta glitter slim.
I love rock'n roll!

SAINT LAURENT IS A STATE OF MIND

"The clothes for fall are as they have been since Slimane took the creative reigns here in 2012. They tap into a moment in music history. This time it is punk. His gang of models stomped down the runway — which rose from the floor on what appeared to be some sort of chain and sprocket system — wearing black leather motorcycle jackets, leather leggings, lampshade mini-skirts with stiff crinolines, shredded stockings and Technicolor furs. There were tight minidresses in black with metallic shimmer. They bared one shoulder, some adorned with a single giant bow, colorful waist details or nothing at all.
 Slimane loves a rock-and-roll homage, and he has transformed pieces of that vernacular into classics within his collection. Time and again, he offers car coats and minidresses, skinny pants and sharp-shouldered blazers. The fabrics and embellishments change, but the silhouettes remain the same.
 The aesthetics of Saint Laurent are boozy and sweaty. The clothes do not look expensive on the runway although they most certainly are in stores. There is a certain wanton, tawdriness to them. They reek of rebellion and ennui.
 Today, fashion aims to offer a modest aura of cool, a palpable connection to contemporary culture and ease. Luxury has become a perfect white T-shirt worn with wash-and-go hair.
 There is nothing evidently intellectual about Slimane’s work. It shouts and rages, curses and moans. His models, with their dark eyeliner and wild hair, stomped down his runway practically breathing fire. His women don’t want to get lost in their head.
 They don’t want to overthink or parse. Slimane has defined modern luxury, in part, as the ability to break free and not care. At a time when everyone is pulled in countless directions, who wouldn’t want to turn away? Slimane’s work taps into that desire and then some. There’s no walking away. There’s no retreat. The collection leans in close. And yells."
