(Paris) Concrete VS poetry: the fashion show by Belgian designer Dries Van Noten brought a soft touch of colorful dreams on Wednesday, in pastels and loose silhouettes like nightwear and soft bags like teddy bears, all presented in a construction site. Parisian construction.
Concrete, emergency exits, cement on the ground, and smoke escaping from a stairwell: in a disturbing urban setting, the Belgian designer made around fifty women parade, at a slow pace, almost sleepwalking.
With their slicked back hair and fake bangs over their eyes, they look like eccentric dandies, back from escapades, wearing wide pants and feathers. Colorful furs and pouch bags revive the sometimes half-sport, half-evening look.
Like everywhere this season, any jacket, over-jacket or coat has width at the shoulders, with horizontality at the top, volume and tightness at the bottom.
