A DRESS WORN BY CATHERINE DENEUVE IN 1962 IS THE ORIGINE OF SOME DRESSES

In 2019 it was Emilia Wickstead who took inspiration from the dress with a large bow on the neckline worn by Catherine Deneuve in 1962, making it a yellow silk version. http://www.scostumista.com/2018/10/the-origin-of-dress-with-bow.html

This year also Maria Grazia Chiuri for Christian Dior S / S 2022 collection elaborates an orange georgette silk version of the same dress.

TRIBUTO A PIERRE CARDIN

 

A 98 anni in un letto dell'ospedale americano a Neuilly-sur-Seine, appena fuori Parigi, è morto Pierre Cardin. Il suo corpo ci ha lasciato, ma il nome, che da uomo visionario quale è stato, continuerà ad accompagnare miriadi di prodotti che il designer italo/francese ha brandizzato. Anticipatore di tutti i tempi, nel 1959 fu espulso dalla Camera Sindacale della moda(poi riammesso), per aver lanciato per primo a Parigi una collezione realizzata per i grandi magazzini Printemps. Ma Pierre Cardin verrà ricordato soprattutto per la sua moda futuristica. Le forme geometriche dei suoi abiti, molte volte rese in tessuti artificiali come il vinile, il plexiglass, la lamina d'argento, e una silhouette che spesso ignorava le forme femminili, precorritrice della moda unisex, faranno dei capi di Monsieur Cardin dei pezzi da esporre al Moma. Faranno la storia della moda il suo iconico "bubble dress", la collezione "Cosmocorps", i "roller pants". Nel 1969 la NASA gli commissiona perfino una tuta spaziale. E pensare che agli albori della sua carriera è primo sarto da Christian Dior, la cui estetica è quanto più lontana dalla sua. Appassionato di arte in ogni sua forma dal teatro alla pittura, l’appellativo di ‘designer’ gli stava stretto, Pierre Cardin è, e rimarrà, un’icona insaziabile di creatività e innovazione.

THE ORIGIN OF DRESSES WITH OVERSIZED COLLAR

Colleen Corby was an American model. She is best known for her work as a teen in the 1960s and for her teenage style. Miu Miu is the brand of the Prada group aimed at the youngest, the style often recalls the innocent and childish trend in vogue during the 60s  of which were often testimonials models such as Twiggy and Collenn Corby. 

For this winter collections Miu Miu and many other designers  (look at this article: http://www.scostumista.com/2020/03/focus-on-collar.html) revisited the lace trim white oversized collar on the black dress.

70's SUEDE TRENCH COAT

The leather trench coat is back in our wardrobes, becoming this season's must have, inevitable for the first cold days, the must model is maxi in leather or eco-leather, preferably with a belt at the waist. 

Many brands have included this iconic piece in their collections. Waiting to understand what fast fashion will offer us, it is worth making a visit to vintage shops: the perfect model could come from the seventies, the real ones.

THE BIG COLLARS WORN BY LADY DIANA

One of the most prominent trends for this winter is the exaggeratedly large collar. 

We have seen it in the collections of Erdem, Gucci, Marras ...(http://www.scostumista.com/2020/03/focus-on-collar.html), but also in fast fashion such as H & M. The forerunner of this accessory was Lady Diana who in the shots of the 80s we see wearing dresses, shirts and blouses with oversize collars.

 

LEE RADZIWILL: THE MOST STILISH WOMAN

She's died about one month ago, Lee Radziwill, one of the most elegant women ever. But her style will be an inspiration for all want to be so elegant like her. There are many images that represent her eternal style, I've selected some pictures that show how she was always elegant in all her life and in all situation. An icon of fashion to follow. Hamish Bowles described her in the August 2003 issue of Vogue as “the chic, sleek wraith whose fabled wide-eyed prettiness and brisk elegance has defined dynamic American style for decades—and still turns heads.”
