LES COPAINS SS16 RTW MILAN FASHION WEEK

The Far East has been exerting an affect on a few of this season’s catwalks. China and Japan are clearly greater than booming markets; paying homage to their cultural heritage whereas attractive an enormous buyer base with an enormous spending potential is on each model’s radar. At as we speak’s Les Copains present, artistic director Stefania Bandiera was following the already ripe development. Backstage she talked about a muse who was “a contemporary Madame Butterfly, a up to date geisha, an informed traveler, an artwork lover.” Being a up to date geisha may appear to be one thing of an oxymoron, however Bandiera appeared positively unfazed. Kimonos and samurais, cherry blossoms and peonies, unique birds and birch forests, Ming porcelains and lacquered reds, camellias and Silk Roads: Excluding Marco Polo, all the plain references have been current.

The gathering was constructed across the elaborate jacquard and knitwear methods for which Les Copains is thought: Circle skirts with asymmetrical hems had been paired with folded bustiers cinched on the waist with elasticated obis or worn with thick hand-knitted micro tops; brief peplum clothes had been reduce with a chic origami draping impact. Excessive-waisted trousers have been elongated and fluid; they have been topped by quick, sporty blousons made with what Bandiera referred to as “digital, illusory knitwear,” a type of virtuoso strategy of weaving a particularly skinny yarn to realize a fragile, barely there look. They added a contemporary, energetic spin to a group that, regardless of all of the overly literal, hypercharged references, seemed fairly balanced and wearable.
