After 10 years

of Armani Privé,

Mr. Armani is

feeling a little

Zen. Misty

mountain-vista

colours, robe

jackets, obi belts

and bamboo

everywhere; the

geometry and

slender leaves

are motifs to

meditate on.

COUTURIERS entered a world of the beautiful

and the rare for haute couture spring/summer ’15.

THE CONSTANT

GARDENER

Welcome to the Chanel greenhouse

• or Lagerfeld’s greenhouse – where
  sci-fi super blooms made of cardboard
  cut-outs f lourish. The true life was in
  the clothes, like a meander through
  jardin Chanel. Intense cornf lower and
  blood-red rose mellowed to soft moss
  and peony, then crescendoed in
  technicoloured f lower explosions on
  hems, gloves and sleeves. Ka-bloom.

THE NEW ROMANTICS

A clean slate in couture, an art as storied as they

come, is a rare thing, though that is what John

Galliano had at Maison Margiela in his return

to fashion. He made good. An off-kilter mix of

the delicate with exposed construction was signed

off with that Galliano jolt of the unsettling:

a skull head wrap dripping in an assortment of

jewellery-box treasures ended the show.
