PARIS, 4th March 2014/PRNewswire/ — A spectacular stage, 80 breathtaking models, 5 tableaux and 6 live artists staged a collection in which the French brand’s virtuosity in terms of corsetry was fully expressed.
The event was at the same time hyped and universal thanks to some ultra-digitalised communication apparatus.
ON THE CATWALK…
Magdalena Frackowiak, Izabel Goulart, Julia Frauche, Diana Moldovan, Natalia Siodmiak, Xiao Wen, Ming Xi and Larissa Hofmann flew the flag beautifully for a performance in 5 tableaux.
Pastels & Denim: lace and an array of pastels mixed with highly designed, patched, frayed denim pieces. Refreshing and bang on-trend.
Dark punk: a punk and futuristic blend, structured forms that are sometimes extravagant, asymmetrical effects, mesh and lacquered origami, leather and vertiginous cutouts. Terribly sexy and contemporary.
A taste of the summer in a 3rd, seaside tableau with geometric forms and a sporty, structured spirit, all in neoprene and mesh in which black mixes with touches of primary colours.
Romantic: exceptional lace, light tulles, a delicate harmony of whites, greys and deep red. Evanescent and sensitive.
Natalia Vodianova for Etam: Soaring feathers, ethnic beads, the shock of dull colours brought to life by electric hues… inspired by a visit to Peru, the magnificent Natalia Vodianova has delivered a highly successful collection.
An eclectic selection of international artists
BREAKBOT, CASSIUS, KAVINSKY and 3-D FROM MASSIVE ATTACK, the Bourse de Commerce vibrated to the electro-pop sound of the French Touch. American hip-hop artists AZEALIA BANKS and EVE set the catwalk alight with their frenzied flow.
ON THE FRONT ROW…
