I've been lucky to see the Dries Van Noten A-W 09|1o runway yesterday evening -even though i was working.
The location was stunning : wherelse a fashion show could be staged during crisis times than in the French Communist Party headquarters (staged by prada 8 years ago)...
the location was as much interesting as the collection on the catwalk - both played a great role in the success of the night.
It was all about going backwards :
- back in the mid 60's / early 70's for the building, all in a perfect condition -seats, lights, carpets, walls. the catwalk was going all aver the main room (up, down, right, left) models had to repeat to wound their way arounf the labyrinthine catwalk !
- back in the cold war ! it was like a very continental runway trend, most of the look were monochrom, all dark mono-colours. Shapes made me remind of my grand-father's suits : short & large trousers with a big shoulder double-breasted blazer.

I'll be on Cerruti and Christian Lacroix later on this week, i'll keep you posted before wednesday.

Good choice. I have been liking Dries van Noten's collections for the past few year (before that I simply had a different taste).
ReplyDeleteNever heard of that building before, but it sure does sound like an immensely inspiring location!!
