The French brand Courrèges brought oppressive heat to the Paris fashion week for women’s fashion on Tuesday. The new collection reinterpreted the famous mini skirt and was designed for high temperatures.
At the beginning of the show in a former market hall in the center of Paris, a voice announced that the thermometer increases, accompanied by dazzling white light. Some spectators: Inside, sunglasses set up. In the focus of the subsequent collection, there were mini skirts with front pockets, combined with geometric tops that release the back and sides of the upper body.
The Belgian designer Nicolas di Felice took up a classic of the house: the mini skirt, the André Courrèges-founder of the brand-made popular in the 1960s.
“I really wanted to pick up the silhouette of André Courrèges’ 1960s,” said Di Felice of the press. “The mini skirt was actually not so mini at the time – it usually reached up to the middle of the knee,” he explained and showed a photo from this time.
The very short skirts followed clothes that cover the back of the legs, as well as wide shorts.
“The clothing gradually becomes more and more relaxed and more convenient. This is ultimately something that André thought about,” said Di Felice. He also used “natural substances” because they were more suitable in the heat and sun.
On the feet, the models wore extra laugh, sock -like boots. “There are flat shoes for the first time,” emphasized Di Felice and emphasized the comfort of the collection.
Some models also appeared with a cap on which a fabric fell like a protective veil down to the waist. Others wore a rigid construction in front of the upper body and neck – a kind of sun protection that reminded of the panels in cars, as the designer explained.
