by Barclays, Eurostar and Metro magazine, among others. His conceptual approach makes him a perfect illustrator for this cover, inspired by our feature about the luxury jewellery and watch stores of the place Vendôme area on page 44. It shows the historic square as a beautiful timepiece.

It’s been a busy year for lamp designer Céline Wright. Not only has she opened a new boutique on Paris’s Île Saint-Louis, she has also launched a new range of lights called Éclipse, which includes the table lamp pictured (€1,938). Designed to evoke the setting of the sun, it has a paper and copper foil cupola that suffuses a room with warm golden light. Each of Wright’s pieces is made entirely by hand using natural materials, meaning that no two are ever exactly the same. gc Céline Wright, 56 rue Saint-Louis-en-l’Île, 75004 Paris, +33 (0)1 4287 9948, celinewright.com

The renowned luxury jewellery brand Graff opened its first store in Paris at the beginning of 2016. Its new salon is situated on place Vendôme next to the Ritz Paris and takes inspiration from the landscaped gardens that were in fashion in the city during the 18th century. The elegant green interior is punctuated by brass showcases, zebrano wood display desks and marble pillars, all of which make an appealing backdrop to Graff’s stunning collections of diamonds, timepieces and jewellery. gc Graff, 17 place Vendôme, 75001 Paris, +33 (0)1 4013 7460, graffdiamonds.com

French luxury shoemaker JM Weston embodies Parisian elegance and timeless style. The brand’s ability to combine high-quality craftsmanship with designs that add a contemporary touch to classic looks have helped it stay in the address books of the city’s most stylish men and women for more than 125 years. Its most covetable pieces play with texture and colour, and feature everything from calfskin to denim. Artistic director Michel Perry talks about the essence of the brand, and its Le Marais store, with Ximena Daneri

‘I have been part of the JM Weston team for 15 years now.

During that time, the fashion industry has found or rediscovered a better balance between tradition and creation. Before, people were looking for products that were modern, above all, and the search for creativity came at the expense of quality. Then the trend changed and became about looking for more high-quality products, which was in tune with what JM Weston does.

‘My toughest challenge was my debut in the JM Weston team. It was difficult for me to bring my own vision without changing everything and generating a revolution within the brand.

‘Nevertheless, I wanted to provide something new, to touch a new generation of customers and to mark a gradual evolution for JM Weston while keeping its existing values and its loyal clientele.

‘Since the brand was founded over 120 years ago, everything has changed except the basics. There is still this dual aspect: the know-how and tradition of the manufacturing, which has been based in Limoges since 1891, and the elegance and sophistication of Paris.

However, a few adjustments were necessary to keep the brand contemporary.

‘The fundamental details are always the same. The brand is in tune with its times: it encapsulates the trends, but without being a fashion brand.

It is what makes us different from our competitors. We do not make fashion just to make fashion. We revisit our basics for the traditional customers of today.

‘Nowadays, when you wear JM Weston shoes, you can create your own style and even twist different styles in one look. You can wear a pair of vintage trousers with a cheap T-shirt and nice loafers.

There is complete freedom.

The new generations understand that and play with all the different styles.

‘This store opened in mid April 2016. Three main collections are available here.

First, there are all our iconic models, such as our loafers.

Then there is the Country Gents collection and Le Moc’ Weston collection for men and women. The product that encapsulates the brand best is,

and will always be, the 180 loafer. It was thanks to these shoes that JM Weston is what it is today: a renowned French luxury shoemaker.’

The historic place Vendôme area is home to many of the most prestigious fne watch and jewellery brands in the world.

P

lace Vendôme was originally laid out in 1702 as a monument to the successes of the army of King Louis XIV, one of the most celebrated monarchs in French – if not international – history. Much of the imposing square’s baroque architecture was the creation of Jules Hardouin-Mansart, the style refecting the grandeur of the French empire and monarchy in the 18th century.

France’s political culture may have moved on from the pomp and extravagance of its kings, but the exclusivity associated with the square, and the adjoining rue de la Paix, remains. Leading luxury brands from across the world call the area home, especially those within the world of fne jewellery and timepieces. From the most established French brands to the best international names, there is 85

no better location in Paris for sheer opulence.

In 1899, Cartier opened its Parisian fagship on the rue de la Paix, an historic street that runs from the iconic Opéra Garnier to place Vendôme. The boutique has become an icon of the brand, its elegant grandeur helping to secure Cartier’s place as one of the world’s leading names in haute joaillerie. It was one of the frst shops in the world to sell wristwatches, and Cartier’s pioneering spirit has not dimmed over time. Look out for its most noted ranges, such as the Panthère jewellery line or the iconic Tank collection of watches.

Making its Parisian home nearby is Buccellati, a brand as distinctly Italian as Cartier is French. ‘Buccellati jewellery stands out from the rest because it is full of details dating back to goldsmithing techniques of Above (clockwise from top left): Cartier Panthère ring; place Vendôme; a bracelet from Buccellati’s Opera collection

Italian Renaissance times,’ explains president and creative director Andrea Buccellati. Using the fnest precious stones and metals available, Buccellati presents exquisite jewellery, timepieces and even home accessories. The latest releases from the Opera collection add bold coloured stones – lapis lazuli, motherof-pearl, onyx, pink opal and jasper – to the house’s signature Renaissance-inspired line.

Not far from Buccellati is Tifany & Co, the American jewellery specialist which has become famous for its diamonds, as well as its instantly recognisable blue boxes. Perhaps the most famous ring of all time, the legendary Tifany® Setting has become synonymous with luxury in engagement rings, and this store should be frst on the list of anyone looking to propose to that special someone.

Bulgari is known across the world for its dramatic, glamorous pieces, and its place Vendôme boutique – 20 years old in 2016 – ofers the entire Bulgari collection, with accessories displayed alongside its fne jewellery and watches. Bulgari’s timepieces combine Swiss horological excellence with the Italian fair for which the brand is known; the use of the fnest metals and precious gems makes them the perfect choice for a special occasion.

Another highlight is the distinctive snakeinspired Serpenti jewellery line.

Boucheron has been a respected name in Parisian fne jewellery since 1858. It was one of the frst jewellers to make place Vendôme home – founder Frédéric Boucheron opened his doors in 1893 – and the boutique is as popular as ever.

With over 150 years of expertise, Boucheron’s

haute joaillerie is considered among the fnest in the world, and its exquisite timepieces carry this quality into the world of horology.

Another brand with an impressive history on the square is Van Cleef & Arpels, which opened at number 22, opposite the Ritz Paris, in 1906. The boutique has recently been expanded, and is now spread across numbers 20 and 24 as well as 22. A modern space realised in cool creams and beige tones, it is home to Van Cleef & Arpels’ distinctive take on high jewellery, which draws inspiration from the natural world and presents visions of dreams and enchantments.

A few steps away is the worldwide haute joaillerie fagship of Piaget. The French brand’s most ambitious store to date is a celebration

of human craftsmanship, both the unrivalled skill that went into creating the boutique itself, and the world-class talent that is behind each stunning necklace, bracelet, ring and earring.

As well as Piaget’s signature fne jewellery, there’s also a resident watchmaking expert.

No watch lover should leave Paris without stepping into the place Vendôme outpost of Swiss watchmaker Patek Philippe. Both men’s and women’s timepieces can be found here, and experts are on hand to guide you through your purchase. Patek Philippe has been keen to explain that it chose the location because the square is one of the best destinations in the world for fne watches and jewellery. With such a selection of brands of the highest pedigree, there is no excuse not to pay a visit

GAME CHANGERS A wave of emerging labels is changing the face of fashion in Paris. Harriet Quick speaks to some of the key names to know

T

here are seismic shifts occurring in the Paris firmament. Where once only a flirtatious mode of ladylike chic held sway, championed by the powerhouses of Chanel, Lanvin and Christian Dior, another generation is forging through, writing a fresh chapter in the history of Parisian style. New labels such as Vetements, Jacquemus and Koché, along with newly reinvented old ones – think Balenciaga, Courrèges, Paco Rabanne – have a roster of radically diverse designers at their helm. Collectively, they are challenging the ‘little black dress’ clichés and creating fashion with a point of view.

The movement’s pin-up is Demna Gvasalia, co-founder of Vetements and the new creative director of Balenciaga. The brand he helped start was once an obscure off-schedule show; by contrast, its latest autumn/winter collection – staged in a church – was the hottest invitation of the season. Anna Wintour, Emmanuelle Alt and Alexandra Shulman, the editors of Vogue US, Paris and UK respectively, sat in the front row while hundreds of others fought to gain entry.

86

97

91

‘The attention is a bit scary. But I don’t think it is so much about me or about Vetements, but more about the state of fashion today,’ says Gvasalia. ‘We started the label twoand-a-half years ago from nowhere. We showed it is possible and not just a dream, and that building something from scratch can actually work.’ The designer is just one member of a close-knit collective behind the brand, whose ideas first took form around ‘the kitchen table’, to the accompaniment of copious amounts of white table wine and cigarettes. ‘If you have too much strategy, you forget about the essence.

What we do is make clothes,’ says Gvasalia, matter-of-factly.

Clothes by Vetements are distinctive thanks to their streetwear influences and their subverted silhouettes, be it in the hunched or thrown-back shoulder lines of a biker jacket, in the now iconic jeans assembled from diverse cuts of denim, or in the low swagger of a pair of sweatpants. ‘I like these subtle ways design can transform a garment,’ says Gvasalia.

The designer, who was born in Georgia and previously worked for Maison Martin Margiela

52 | F E AT U R E S

and also for Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton, is as well versed in cutting and tailoring as he is in the theatre of fashion shows. At his debut for Balenciaga, he gave the historic house an ‘haute attitude’, presenting tailored ladylike suits with exaggerated hips and extra-wide shoulders, high-fashion lounge pants and fabulous court shoes covered in a spray of crystal stones.

This willingness to buck trends and redefine the idea of sophistication is not exclusive to Gvasalia, however. French-born

26-year-old designer Simon Porte Jacquemus is a self-taught talent who projects another view of Paris. The inspiration for his eponymous line stems from the insolent beauties that you might find hanging out in the suburbs wearing smart but contemporary ensembles. For autumn/ winter 2016/17, Jacquemus offers avant-garde but wearable super-wide trousers, pinstripe suits fastened with bows, and draped bustier tops with tails. ‘I’m obsessed with selling my clothes, it’s an economic reality: I need to sell

It’s an exciting moment for the city’s fashion scene, whether on the catwalks, in the stores or simply on the streets

for real,’ says Jacquemus, and with his label now boasting stockists around the globe it seems he’s meeting his goal.

Courrèges, a Parisian label established

by André Courrèges in the 1960s, is being re-invented by Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant. The duo’s focus is on multipurpose items that play on the label’s heritage: cue bomber jackets, crinkly patent coats and bodycon knitwear. For chic leather pieces that can be packed up into small flatpack parcels, look no further.

These designers may be young, but they are far from inexperienced. They are well versed in the traditions and techniques of tailoring, flow and embellishment, but they combine those skills with modern ideas. By day, Christelle Kocher of Koché works at Maison Lemarié, an atelier now owned by Chanel that is famed for its decorative trimmings, in particular feathers and flowers. By night, she conjures up her own

collection, with feathers and beads sprouting from mesh dresses, and collages of fabrics adding attitude. This season, she showed her collection in an 18th-century shopping arcade that is home to Afro-Caribbean hairdressers. ‘I want to share my Paris with other people,’ she says of her multicultural fusions.

This new energy is being felt beyond the catwalks, with a clutch of shops embracing the scene. Concept store Tom Greyhound, established by a Korean entrepreneur, is a must-visit, while The Broken Arm is an unpretentious café-cum-store in the Marais that has become a magnet for style seekers, fans of obscure denim and design lovers. Either of these boutiques will give a real insight into the way that young, savvy Parisians are shopping right now. It’s an exciting moment for the city’s fashion scene. Whether on the catwalks, in the stores or simply on the streets, what unites all these players is a passion for Paris

FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE Christian Lacroix’s creative director Sacha Walckhof is extending the label with famboyant homeware.

He talks to Ruairidh Pritchard about the future of the renowned brand

As Christian Lacroix prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary next year, it isn’t the clothing of this pedigree couture label that is catching everyone’s attention but the brand’s incredible range of lifestyle pieces. From cushions to tableware, fabrics to stationery, Christian Lacroix is bringing its distinct style of luxury to chic homes across the world.

The flamboyant lifestyle looks have been developed under the creative direction of Sacha Walckhoff. The French designer worked in various Paris fashion houses with creatives such as Jean Rémy Daumas, Dorothée Bis and Michel Klein before becoming studio director at Christian Lacroix in 1996. After the departure of Christian Lacroix himself,

Walckhoff took the helm of the fashion house in 2010. Since then the Lacroix aesthetic has embraced all aspects of lifestyle and accessories, bringing new levels of luxury to everyday objects.

‘Since I took over the creative direction for the Christian Lacroix Maison brand in 2010, I have been working on the brand’s DNA in

order to keep the spirit, but with a totally new iconographic proposal,’ says Walckhoff. ‘We work a lot on developing new images and new trends based on huge research in all kinds of directions.’

With Christian Lacroix’s couture and prêtà-porter womenswear collections on hold since the eponymous founder’s departure,

Walckhoff has overseen the design of the men’s ready-to-wear collections as well as the Christian Lacroix fashion accessories lines.

However, it’s the focus on homeware and lifestyle that has really pushed the brand forward, with Christian Lacroix Maison producing fabric, soft furnishings, wallpaper, tableware, stationery and candles. One of the most recent projects has been a collaboration with Dutch company Moooi, with which Walckhoff has created a range of carpets.

The lifestyle collections have begun a new era for Christian Lacroix, yet behind this Walckhoff has carefully retained a consistent approach to design. ‘The principles are the same, but the products are different,’ he says.

‘My work for Lacroix is to keep the style alive and appealing, to find new ways to express the personality of the brand; it is not about old or new, it is more about keeping the house of Lacroix fresh and modern.’

Walckhoff’s ability to take the brand’s

baroque, flamboyant and colourful aesthetic and apply to it to lifestyle products is perfectly illustrated in the most recent Christian Lacroix Maison homeware collection, Art de Vivre.

Celebrating French joie de vivre with dazzling colours and striking prints, it perfectly matches the brand’s signature bold style.

Designs for the collection were inspired by the ‘Incroyables et Merveilleuses’ of the French Revolution ‒ the Unbelievables and the Marvellous Ones who wore bold colours representing their convictions. The range introduces new striped and floral prints, available as fabrics and also used in furniture upholstery and on soft furnishings as well as wallpaper. Motifs incorporate rosettes sported by soldiers in the Revolution, intricate bouquets paying homage to 18th-century gardens, and monochrome stripes, which were a symbol of liberty and freedom during the Revolutionary period.

‘I am fortunate enough to work for a

brand that values tolerance, variety, liberty and fantasy,’ says Walckhoff. These values are clearly evident in the brand’s collaboration with porcelain specialist Vista Alegre, with whom it will launch two collections this year. The first, Madones, is a range of three porcelain trays, each decorated with silhouettes inspired by some of the house’s famed couture designs. The second, Love Who You Want, is a collection of plates and pillboxes featuring animal motifs, including the Monseigneur Bull, an aristocratic bull adorned with flowers and lace, and the Jungle King, a lion crowned with shimmering feathers.

With homeware collaborations such as these drawing on the brand’s couture accomplishments, it’s clear that Walckhoff still pays homage to the creations of his predecessor and former mentor. But he struggles to pin down what he would consider to be the

definitive piece of Lacroix design. ‘It is a tough question,’ he muses, ‘as during all those years, many wonders have been created by the house of Lacroix.

‘In couture, our most definitive piece was the model 39, a red embroidered wedding gown made out of a torero cape that Madonna wore during her Reinvention tour, a piece from the Haute Couture autumn/winter 2002/2003 collection. In our lifestyle collections our Butterfly Parade pattern, which we’ve used across rugs, fabric, wallpaper and tableware, created in 2012, has been copied worldwide and is still a bestseller today.’

The success of these new avenues for Lacroix is testament to the brand’s enduring appeal, and with its creative vision continuing to extend into every corner of life, we can all look forward to having a slice of the luxury Lacroix lifestyle

TABLE TALK Take an all-day gastronomic journey through one of Paris’s most historic covered arcades, says Isabella Redmond Styles

The French capital is known for the sheer number and quality of its restaurants and cafés, and visitors rarely have to go far for a memorable meal. Nowhere is this more the case than in the passage des Panoramas, one of Paris’s first covered arcades, which opened in 1800. It was inspired by the bazaars and souks of more exotic climes, and its glazed roof, paved flooring and, after 1831, thoroughly innovative gas lighting made it a welcome retreat in all weathers. Smart Parisians came to stroll, to explore its specialist shops and, increasingly, to meet friends.

Today, the charmingly retro passage off boulevard Montmartre packs a surprising range of places to eat into its 133-metre length.

Visitors can start the day with a leisurely breakfast, including coffee to please the pickiest connoisseur, continue with a convivial lunch and a cake or two, and round it off with a glass of something and an indulgent dinner – all under one roof. globalblue.com

The restaurant’s interior preserves the building’s rich heritage while imbuing it with contemporary appeal, plus there’s an ‘outdoor’ terrace that allows diners to absorb the atmosphere of the arcade. Begin at the bar with a few appetisers of duck saucisson and rillettes, accompanied by sparkling cocktails.

The menu offers a choice of two starters and three main courses, including duck breast fillet or homemade confit duck served with either homemade fries or seasonal vegetables.

CAFFÈ STERN

Occupying the former premises of historic Paris printer and engraver Stern, Caffè Stern brings a taste of Italy to the arcade. The sumptuous interior was designed by Philippe Starck, and provides a chic setting in which to savour everything from a lì per lì, a mini cappuccino that originated in Trieste, to a senza fretta, prepared in a Neapolitan coffee maker. The all-day menu takes in extra-virgin olive oil brioches for breakfast and Venetianstyle tapas (cicchetti) such as whipped salt cod with fried polenta for later in the day, along with dishes such as fried langoustines with bottarga (salted and cured fish roe) sauce for lunch and dinner.

BUCHERER

H GRINGOIRE Parisian jeweller H Gringoire has been a firm favourite with the French capital’s most elegant residents since it was established by goldsmith Achille Hourdequin in 1880. Visit the newly opened flagship store to discover a selection of innovative, feminine and traditionally crafted pieces that are suitable for every occasion.

Bucherer has been creating high jewellery and watches for almost 130 years. For 2016 the brand has developed a new watch movement, the CFB (Carl F Bucherer) A2000, designed and developed entirely in its own workshops.

This drives the classic yet innovative Manero Peripheral watch, which is available from the end of October. The new timepiece is an impressive blend of modern engineering and traditional horlogerie. It has a multi-faceted face displaying hours and minutes as well as seconds and the date. The Manero Peripheral watch comes in six models, which cost from €6,000 to €15,600: customers can choose to have the 44mm round case in either stainless steel or rose gold, while the dial comes in matte black or porcelain white; those who opt for the stainless-steel model can swap an alligator leather strap for a steel bracelet with a double-folding clasp. Visit the elegant Paris store to choose your ideal version.

Золотая площадь

Многие часовые и ювелирные бренды мирового уровня выбрали Вандомскую площадь и ее окрестности для своих парижских флагманов. Ханна Льюис рассказывает о самых интересных аксессуарах и украшениях, за которыми стоит отправиться сюда в этом сезоне

PHOTO: SÉBASTIEN DERVIEUX

Вандомская площадь была заложена в 1702 году, чтобы увековечить славу армии короля Людовика XIV – одного из самых прославленных монархов французской, если не мировой истории. Большинство барочных зданий, обрамляющих площадь, созданы по проекту Жюля Ардуэн-Мансара, который постарался отразить грандиозность французской империи и монархии 18 века. Современная политическая культура Франции далека от помпы и экстравагантности, свойственных королям. Однако и в наши дни сохранилась та изысканность, с которой веками ассоциировалась Вандомская площадь и прилегающая к ней улица rue de la Paix. И французские, и иностранные бренды мирового уровня, в частности – ведущие

globalblue.com

представители ювелирной и часовой сфер, выбрали это место для своих представительств, поскольку во всем Париже нет другого исторического места, которое бы еще больше соответствовало их статусу. В 1899 году ювелирный дом Cartier открыл флагманский магазин на исторической улице rue de la Paix, которая соединяет Оперу Гарнье и Вандомскую площадь. Бутик вскоре стал знаковым для компании: присущие ему элегантность и величие подчеркивают особый статус Cartier в сфере высокого ювелирного искусства. Именно этот магазин в числе первых в мире стал продавать наручные часы, и с годами этот новаторский дух Cartier только усиливается. Стоит уделить особое внимание самым знаменитым сериям бренда – ювелирной линии Panthère и коллекции наручных часов Tank. Бренд Buccellati воплощает итальянскиè дух в тоè же мере, как Cartier – французскиè. И он тоже выбрал Вандомскую площадь для своего парижского магазина: «Украшения Buccellati отличаются от других, потому что они построены на деталях, восходящих к ювелирным техникам итальянского Ренессанса», – объясняет президент и креативныè директор компании Андреа Буччеллати. Buccellati использует драгоценные камни и металлы высшеè пробы для создания изысканных украшениè, часов и даже аксессуаров для дома. В новоè коллекции Opera представлены украшения из классическоè линии, вдохновленноè Ренессансом, с добавлением ярких камнеè – лазурита, перламутра, оникса, розового опала и яшмы. Неподалеку от Buccellati расположен бутик американского ювелирного бренда Tifany & Co, славу которому принесли бриллианты и узнаваемые голубые коробочки. Легендарное кольцо Tifany® Setting, пожалуè, можно назвать самым известным в истории: оно воплощает все

86

самое ценное, что есть в обручальных кольцах. Бутик этого ювелирного дома на Вандомской площади просто обязан быть первым в списке каждого, кто собирается сделать предложение своей второй половине. Эффектные и волнующие украшения Bulgari покорили весь мир. В бутике на Вандомской площади, которому в 2016 году исполняется 20 лет, представлена полная коллекция ювелирного дома, включая аксессуары, украшения и часы. Часы Bulgari вобрали в себя все достижения швейцарского часового искусства и неповторимый итальянский стиль, характерный для бренда. Лучшие металлы и драгоценные камни делают эти хронометры идеальными для особого случая. Кроме того, особого внимания заслуживает представленная здесь ювелирная линия Serpenti, посвященная змеиным мотивам. Парижская марка Boucheron была основана в 1858 году и с тех пор остается уважаемым экспертом ювелирного дела. Ее основатель Фредерик Бушерон одним из первых выбрал Вандомскую площадь для своего магазина в 1893 году, и с тех пор этот бутик пользуется заслуженным вниманием покупателей. Уже более 150 лет произведения Boucheron входят в число лучших экземпляров высокого ювелирного искусства. Вслед за ними и эксклюзивные хронометры этого бренда приобрели особый статус в часовом деле. Бренд с большой историей Van Cleef & Arpels появился на Вандомской площади в 1906 году. Изначально он располагался в доме номер 22, напротив отеля Ritz, но недавно он расширился – и теперь занимает дома с 20 по 24. В новом пространстве, оформленном в мягких кремовых и бежевых оттенках, можно познакомиться с особенным подходом Van Cleef & Arpels к высокому ювелирному искусству. Бренд черпает вдохновение из природного мира и воплощает фантазийные и волшебные образы. Неподалеку находится основной бутик марки Piaget – всемирного эксперта в ювелирном деле. На сегодня это самый globalblue.com

амбициозный магазин французского бренда, и он сам по себе посвящен торжеству изысканного мастерства. Это проявляется и в неподражаемом оформлении пространства, и в высочайшем профессионализме ювелиров, создающих восхитительные ожерелья, браслеты, кольца и серьги. Помимо узнаваемых украшений, здесь же можно познакомиться и с ассортиментом часов Piaget. Ни один ценитель часов не может покинуть Париж, не посетив представительство швейцарского часового бренда Patek Philippe на Вандомской площади. В его витринах представлены и мужские, и женские часы, а профессиональный персонал всегда готов помочь выбрать подходящую модель. Компания Patek Philippe отдала предпочтение этому месту, потому что это одна из лучших в мире витрин для изысканных часов и украшений. Вандомскую площадь избрали бренды высочайшей пробы, и было бы непростительным упустить возможность побывать здесь.

50: Game Changers

Возмутители спокойствия Харриет Куик рассказывает о самых интересных брендах новой волны, которые постепенно преображают моду Парижа Модный небосклон Парижа переживает серьезные перемены. Прежде здесь правила балом кокетливая женственность, созданная крупными модными домами Chanel, Lanvin и Christian Dior. А теперь шаг вперед делает новое поколение дизайнеров, которые придерживаются радикально другого подхода и открывают совершенно новую главу в истории парижского стиля. Именно они возглавили Vetements, Jacquemus, Koché и другие новые марки, а также заново открывают известные бренды с историей, как, например, Balenciaga, Courrèges и Paco Rabanne. Вместе они бросают вызов устоявшейся формуле «маленького черного платья» и создают моду с собственной

87

точкой зрения. Лидер этого движения – Демна Гвасалиа, сооснователь Vetements и новый креативный директор Balenciaga. Бренд Vetements, в создании которого он принимал участие, изначально был не слишком известен и мог претендовать только на параллельную программу. В этом сезоне ситуация обратная: новая коллекция марки сезона осень-зима, представленная в церкви, стала самым востребованным событием. Анна Винтур, Эммануэль Альт и Александра Шульман, редакторы журнала Vogue в США, Франции и Великобритании соответственно, сидели в первом ряду, а сотни желающих попасть в зал боролись за возможность войти. «Такое внимание немного пугает. Но я не думаю, что это напрямую касается меня лично или Vetements. Скорее, это говорит о состоянии моды сегодня, – утверждает Гвасалиа. – Мы создали этот бренд два с половиной года назад с нуля. Мы показали, что это возможно, это не пустая мечта, что можно построить построить модную марку с нуля». Над брендом работает дружная команда, частью которой является Демна Гвасалия: свои идеи дизайнеры придумали «на кухне», наслаждаясь вином и сигаретами. «Если вы слишком увлекаетесь стратегией, вы рискуете забыть о сущности. А ведь наше дело – создавать одежду», – говорит Гвасалия с интонацией, не подразумевающей возражения. Влияние стритстайла и любовь к свободным силуэтам делают одежду Vetements узнаваемой и проявляются в обéемных или приспущенных плечах байкерских курток, культовых джинсах, сшитых из отрезов денима, или расслабленной развязности спортивных брюк. «Мне нравится, что небольшими штрихами можно полностью преобразить предмет одежды», – комментирует Гвасалия. Демна Гвасалия родом из Грузии, он работал на Maison Martin Margiela, а также на Louis Vuitton под руководством Марка Джейкобса. Он так же хорошо разбирается в кройке и шитье, как и в постановке модных шоу. Он привнес «дух высокой моды» в дебютную коллекцию для модного дома с большой историей Balenciaga. Это проявилось

в женственных строгих костюмах с обéемными бедрами и плечами, стильных брюках и покрытых кристаллами туфлях на каблуках. Желание идти против трендов и заново определить понятие утонченности характерно не только для Гвасалиа. Дизайнеру Симону Порт Жакмю 26 лет, он родился во Франции и самостоятельно осваивал профессию. И он представляет другой образ модного Парижа. Источником вдохновения для линии одежды под собственным именем стали дерзкие красавицы, которых можно встретить на окраинах и которые носят продуманные, но современные комплекты. К сезону осень-зима 2016/17 Жакмю приготовил авангардные, но в то же время удобные брюки очень свободного кроя, костюмы в тонкую полоску, которые завязываются лентами, и драпированные топы-бюстье с шлейфами. «Я одержим распространением моей одежды, и это экономическая реальность: мне нужно делать настоящие продажи», – делится Жакмю. Похоже, он близок к цели, поскольку развивает сотрудничество с розничными продавцами по всему миру. Андре Курреж основал бренд Courrèges в Париже в 1960-е, а сейчас его переосмысляют дизайнеры Себастьен Мейер и Арно Вайан. Они сосредоточились на универсальных вещах, что напрямую связано с наследием бренда: характерными примерами могут стать знаковые куртки-бомберы, пальто с эффектом помятости и обтягивающие свитеры. Если вы ищете небольшие кожаные вещи, которые легко упаковываются в плоские пакеты и не занимают много места, то вам точно стоит ознакомиться с коллекциями Courrèges. Эти дизайнеры молоды, но они не страдают от недостатка опыта. Они прекрасно осведомлены о традициях и техниках кроя, плавности линий и отделке, и они умело соединяют эти знания со своими актуальными идеями. Днем Кристель Коше из Koché работает на ателье Maison Lemarié, которое принадлежит Chanel и славится декоративной отделкой своих моделей, особенно перьями и цветами. А вечером она творит собственную коллекцию, с перьями и бисером на сетчатых платьях и с коллажами из разных тканей, придающими платьям особую атмосферность.

88

В этом сезоне она представляла свои работы в торговой галерее 18 века, где сейчас работают парикмахеры афро-карибского происхождения. «Я хочу поделиться моим Парижем с другими людьми», – так объясняет она свой мультикультурный стиль. Новая модная сила ощущается и за пределами парижских подиумов, поскольку все больше магазинов интересуются новым направлением. Чтобы это увидеть, нужно обязательно побывать в концепт-сторе Tom Greyhound, основанном корейским предпринимателем. Магазин и кафе Te Broken Arm в квартале Марэ стал магнитом для ценителей стиля, поклонников малоизвестного денима и знатоков дизайна. Побывав в любом из этих бутиков, можно воочию увидеть, как молодые и продвинутые парижане относятся к шоппингу. Это важный момент для модной жизни французской столицы. На подиумах, в магазинах или просто на улицах участников этого движения объединяет одно – любовь к Парижу.

56: Fortune Favours The Brave

Яркий выход

Под руководством Саши Валькхоффа бренд Christian Lacroix расширяет сферу своего влияния и представляет великолепные аксессуары для дома. Руайрид Притчард поговорил с дизайнером о будущем знаменитого модного дома Christian Lacroix готовится к празднованию своего 30-летия в следующем году. Однако всеобщее внимание привлекает вовсе не одежда бренда, а невероятная коллекция аксессуаров для дома и стиля жизни. От диванных подушек и столовой утвари до тканей и канцтоваров, – Christian Lacroix привносит свой особенный стиль в лучшие интерьеры по всему миру. Руководит созданием и выпуском новой коллекции французский дизайнер Саша Валькхофф. Он работал во многих парижских модных домах с такими мэтрами, как Жан Реми Дюма, Доротея Би и Мишель Кляйном, а в 1996 году стал студийным директором Christian Lacroix. В 2010, после globalblue.com

ухода из компании самого Кристиана Лакруа, Валькхофф возглавил модный дом. С этого момента эстетика Lacroix распространяется на все аспекты повседневной жизни, и знакомые каждому предметы переосмысляются на совершенно новом уровне. «С 2010 года, то есть со дня вступления на пост креативного директора бренда Christian Lacroix Maison, я работаю на развитие идентичности и узнаваемости бренда. Моя задача – сохранить его неповторимый дух, но в совершенно новом визуальном виде, – рассказывает Валькхофф. – Мы много работаем над новыми образами и трендами, основанными на большом исследовательском процессе по всем направлениям». После того как основатель марки покинул компанию, женские коллекции и высокой моды, и готовой одежды пока отложены. Усилия Валькхоффа сосредоточены на коллекции готовой мужской одежды и линии модных аксессуаров под брендом Christian Lacroix. Именно сосредоточенность на аксессуарах для дома и повседневной жизни по-настоящему двигает бренд вперед: Christian Lacroix Maison производит ткани, обивку, обои, столовую утварь, канцтовары и свечи. Одним из недавних проектов компании стала серия ковров, созданных совместно с датской компанией Moooi. Взлет этих направлений подарил новую жизнь Christian Lacroix. В то же время Валькхофф сумел сохранить традиционный для этого бренда подход к дизайну: «Принципы остались прежними, изменился только сам продукт. Моя работа в Lacroix заключается в поддержании жизнеспособности и привлекательности знаменитого стиля и поиске новых способов для его выражения. Дело не в старом или новом, а в том, что модный дом Lacroix должен оставаться актуальным и современным», – комментирует дизайнер. Умение Валькхоффа применять барочную, пышную, насыщенную эстетику бренда к аксессуарам для жизни в полной мере проявилось в новой коллекции Art de Vivre для Christian Lacroix Maison. Французский подход к радостям жизни, известный как joie de vivre, нашел свое выражение в ослепительных цветах и ярких принтах, и это идеальное воплощение

фирменного стиля бренда. Французская революция с ее «incroyables et merveilleuses» («невероятными и дивными») героями послужила источником вдохновения для этой коллекции: ведь именно сочные оттенки в одежде стали для них символом их убеждений. Модный дом представил новые полосатые и цветочные принты и узоры, которые применил к тканям и обоям, а также к обивке и декору мебели. В числе сквозных мотивов можно увидеть розетки, которые надевали солдаты во время событий Французской революции; изысканные букеты, напоминающие о садах 18 века; и монохромные полоски – символ свободы и независимости того времени. «Мне повезло работать на бренд, чьими ключевыми ценностями являются толерантность, многообразие, свобода и фантазия», – подчеркивает Валькхофф. Эти ценности проявились и в сотрудничестве модного дома с компанией Vista Alegre, которая специализируется на фарфоре: в этом году появится две созданные совместно серии. Одна из них называется Madones и состоит из трех фарфоровых подносов с силуэтами прославленных нарядов haute couture Christian Lacroix. Вторая называется Love Who You Want и представляет собой набор тарелок и таблетниц с изображениями животных, в том числе – аристократичного быка Monseigneur Bull с цветами и кружевами и Короля джунглей – льва с короной из перьев и кружев. Судя по этим коллаборациям, основанным на достижениях бренда в области высокой моды, Валькхофф с пиететом относится к творениям своего предшественника и бывшего наставника. Он прилагает все усилия, чтобы обнаружить характерные для дизайна Lacroix вещи: «Это сложный вопрос, ведь за столько лет модный дом под руководством Лакруа выпустил множество изумительных вещей, – отмечает дизайнер задумчиво. – В сфере высокой моды самой характерной вещью стала модель 39 – красное свадебное платье с вышивкой, сделанное из накидки тореро. Оно вошло в коллекцию Haute Couture осень-зима 2002/2003, и Мадонна выступала в нем в рамках тура Reinvention. Среди наших коллекций аксессуаров для жизни можно выделить узор globalblue.com

Butterfy Parade, который мы использовали на ковриках, тканях, обоях и столовых предметах. Узор появился в 2012, его копировали множество раз во всем мире, и он до сих пор остается бестселлером». Успех нового пути свидетельствует о непреходящей привлекательности стиля Lacroix. И поскольку его креативный подход распространяется на всё новые сферы, у нас становится больше возможностей приобщиться к образу жизни в стиле Lacroix.

（Bulgari）誉满天下。在该品牌的旺多姆广场旗舰 店内，便可购得全线宝格丽产品，珠宝、腕表与各类 配饰陈列其间，分外夺目。到2016年为止，这家门店 已走过了20个春秋。一件件宝格丽时计中，瑞士钟 表的非凡品质与意大利人的卓越匠心珠联璧合；该 品牌严格选用最优质的金属与最珍贵的宝石，不啻 为特别时刻的完美之选。受婀娜蛇形启发的 Serpenti珠宝系列可谓别出心裁，是宝格丽的另一 大亮点。 巴黎高端珠宝品牌宝诗龙（Boucheron）自 1858年创立以来，一直备受尊崇。创始人Frédéric Boucheron是最早于旺多姆广场置业的珠宝商之 一，他于1893年在此地开设门店，至今这家精品店 依然风靡如初。150余年的苦心孤诣令宝诗龙跻身 世界顶级珠宝商之列，而其精致优雅的腕表作品在 时计观园中同样流光溢彩。 坐落于此的另一大品牌梵克雅宝（Van Cleef & Arpels）同样拥有令人赞叹的历史。1906年，其精品 店在和平街22号开业，正对着利兹酒店（Ritz）。近 几年品牌店扩张至和平街20号和24号。清爽的米色 与浅褐色基调令店内空间极具现代感，梵克雅宝独 具一格的高端珠宝陈列其间，散发着源于自然世界 的美妙灵感，呈现出梦幻而魅惑的视觉效果。 几步之外，便是享誉全球的伯爵（Piaget）高级 珠宝腕表旗舰店。该法国品牌迄今为止最气势恢弘 的店面便是这家，它俨然是一曲献给人类不朽工艺 的美妙赞歌：不仅店铺本身由无可比拟的技艺造 就，每一件灿烂夺目的项链、手镯、戒指和耳环背 后，皆蕴含了举世难寻的卓绝才华。这里不仅有伯 爵标志性的高级珠宝作品，还有一位制表专家常驻 店内。 如果还没有踏进瑞士制表商百达翡丽（Patek Philippe）在旺多姆广场的精品店，腕表爱好者们绝 不应草草离开巴黎。这里不仅男女款时计一应俱全， 更有专家在旁贴心导购。百达翡丽素来强调，之所以 选址于此，是由于这座广场可谓全世界最好的高级 腕表与珠宝展示地之一。如此门第高贵的品牌荟萃， 哪有理由不去造访一番？

50: Game Changers 时尚变革者 一批方兴未艾的新兴品牌正在改变巴黎时尚界 的面貌。Harriet Quick与其中几位时尚中人深入交 流，一探究竟 巴黎的苍穹之下，正发生着翻天覆地的变化。在 这个原本由俏丽淑女装独领风骚，香奈儿（Chanel） 、 朗凡（Lanvin） 和迪奥（Christian Dior）等时 尚巨头呼风唤雨的地方，一股新的潮流正在蓬勃发

展，书写着巴黎时尚史的新篇章。Vetements、 Jacquemus、Koché等新兴品牌以及一众老品牌重 整旗鼓——如巴黎世家（Balenciaga）、Courrèges 和Paco Rabanne ——都将一大批标新立异的设计 师纳入了麾下。总而言之，他们向以“小黑裙”为首的 陈词滥调发起了挑战，试图以前卫独到的视角创造 新的时尚。 作为这场变革的代表人物，Demna Gvasalia是 Vetements品牌的联合创始人，同时也是巴黎世家 的新任创意总监。他所帮助创建的Vetements一度 默默无闻；而如今，该品牌在一家教堂举办的最新秋 冬系列时装秀已成为当季最炙手可热的时尚盛 宴。Vogue杂志美国版、巴黎版和英国版主编Anna Wintour、Emmanuelle Alt 和Alexandra Shulman亲临前排观秀，而其余几百人则是挤破了 头才得以入场。 “这种关注有些让人心惊肉跳。但我觉得人们所 关注的更多是当今时尚界的态势，而不仅仅是我和 Vetements，”Gvasalia说道。“我们花了两年半时 间，从零开始缔造了这个品牌。我们向世人证明，从 无到有开创一番事业并非遥不可及的梦想。”这位设 计师只是品牌背后紧密协作的团队当中的一员，他 们的灵感往往迸发在“餐桌之上”，成形于一杯杯佐 餐白葡萄酒和一根根香烟之间。“如果脑子里装满策 略，你就容易舍本逐末。我们要做的就是做衣服而 已，”Gvasalia如是说，而事实也恰恰如此。 Vetements的服饰辨识度极高，这要归功于该 品牌从街头穿着汲取灵感，及其颠覆性的轮廓设 计：不论是摩托夹克上或收缩或后抛的肩带，还是由 不同斜纹牛仔布拼接而成的如今已成为招牌的牛仔 裤，抑或是时髦张扬的低裆宽松运动裤，我们都能 从中窥得一斑。“我喜欢这些精妙灵活的设计手法给 服装外观带来的变化，”Gvasalia说道。 这位出生于格鲁吉亚的设计师曾供职于设计师 品牌 Maison Martin Margiela，还在路易威登为 Marc Jacobs工作过。他不仅是各大秀场的座上宾， 更精通剪裁和缝制技艺。在加入巴黎世家后的首秀 上，他为这一历史悠久的品牌带来了“高级态度”，向 观众呈现了臀部设计夸张而肩部线条极宽的定制淑 女套装、奢华的休闲长裤以及用水晶石精心点缀的 无带船型高跟鞋。 引领潮流风尚的志向以及重新定义高端精致时 尚的理念并非Gvasalia一人所独有。26岁的法国设 计师Simon Porte Jacquemus是一位自学成才的奇 人，他为当今巴黎带来了别样的时尚观点。他的同名 服装系列从郊野之地随处可见的粗野之美当中汲取 灵感，同时融合了时髦元素与当代风格。2016/17秋 冬季，Jacquemus推出了前卫大胆却容易搭配的超 阔腿裤、结饰系带细条纹西装以及褶缀紧身带尾胸 衣。“我非常热衷于推销我的衣服，这是一种经济上 globalblue.com

解。巴黎的时尚界正处于一个令人激动的阶段。不论 是在秀场中、店铺内还是街头上，正是对巴黎的热爱 将这些时尚达人紧紧地联系在一起。

56: Fortune Favours The Brave 大胆启程

Christian Lacroix的创意总监Sacha Walckhoff正 用奢华大气的家居用品拓展品牌的发展之路。他与 Ruairidh Pritchard畅谈这一知名品牌的未来

的现实需求：把它们卖掉才是真的，”Jacquemus 说。随着他的品牌受到世界各地零售商的广泛好评， 看起来他已经在实现自己的目标。 Courrèges是由André Courrèges于1960年代 开创的巴黎本土品牌，如今它在Sébastien Meyer 和Arnaud Vaillant两个人手中焕发出新的生命力。 这对双人组合沿袭品牌传统，专注于开发多功能服 饰，例如飞行夹克衫、褶皱漆皮外套以及紧身针织 衫。如果您想找一件能够折叠装入挎包的皮件单 品，那么Courrèges就是您的不二选择。 这些设计师年纪轻轻却经验丰富。他们深谙从 剪裁到工艺流程再到装饰的各项传统和技艺，并将 它们与现代观念融合在一起。白天，Koché工作室的 Christelle Kocher在Maison Lemarié工作，这家 目前由香奈儿拥有的工作室凭借装饰性镶边闻名遐 迩，尤精于羽毛和花卉的应用。到了晚上，她则徜徉 嬉戏于自己的服装系列，用羽毛和珠子装点网眼裙， 通过拼贴混搭各种织物，为裙装增添个人风格。本 季，她在一座建于18世纪的商廊里展示了她的设计 系列，那里现在是加勒比黑人发型师们的乐土。提 起她融合多元文化的设计风格，她说：“我想把我眼 中的巴黎分享给大家。” 在T台和秀场之外，您同样能感受到巴黎的这 股新兴力量，不少店铺已经开始热情拥抱这股潮 流。由一位韩国企业家创立的概念店Tom Greyhound是一处必游之地，而玛莱区（Marais） 的The Broken Arm则是一家低调质朴的店铺，它 集咖啡屋和服装店于一身，深受潮流追寻者、个性 牛仔装粉丝以及设计爱好者的青睐。以上这两家精 品店都会让您对巴黎时尚青年的购物偏好有所了

正当Christian Lacroix筹备其明年的30周年大庆 之时，最引人注目的却并非这一正统高级时装品牌的 系列服饰，而是其纷繁多样的生活方式新品。从靠垫 到餐具，从织物到文具，Christian Lacroix将别具 一格的奢华风范带入了世界各地的时尚宅邸。 这些外观华丽的家居用品均由Sacha Walckhoff指导设计。在1996年成为 Christian Lacroix工作室总监之前，这位法国设计师曾供职于 多家巴黎时尚巨头，与Jean Rémy Daumas、Dorothée Bis和Michel Klein等多位创 意大师共过事。Christian Lacroix离开自己一手创 立的公司之后，Walckhoff 于2010年毅然接手了这 家时装品牌。自那以后，Lacroix的审美理念就开始 贯穿到生活方式及家居装饰的方方面面，将日用品 的奢美华丽提升至新的层次。 “自我于2010年开始负责Christian Lacroix Maison的创意指导以来，便一直在研究Lacroix的 品牌基因，试图在保留其灵魂的同时，呈现出全新的 视觉效果，”Walckhoff说道。“我们在许多不同的领 域进行了大量研究，并努力在其基础上开发新的形 象和潮流。” 随着同名创始人的离去， Walckhoff 不得不冻 结Christian Lacroix的高级定制和女士成衣系列， 于是将更多精力用于男士成衣系列和Christian Lacroix时尚配饰的设计。 但是，真正推动品牌发展的，是其对家居用品和 生活方式的关注。如今Christian Lacroix Maison 生产织物、软装潢、墙纸、餐具、文具和蜡烛，与荷 兰企业Moooi的合作便是最近的范例之 一，Walckhoff为该项目创作了一系列不同样式的地 毯。 生活方式系列作品为Christian Lacroix打开了 新纪元的大门，但在其背后Walckhoff的设计态度依 然不变。“产品千变万化，原则却始终如一，”他说 道。“我在Lacroix的工作是确保设计风格具有活力 和吸引力，不断寻找新的手段来表现品牌个性。所以 新还是旧并不是问题的关键，关键在于要让Lacroix 始终保持鲜活和时尚。” Walckhoff能力非凡，能够准确把握该品牌华

丽缤纷的巴洛克式审美，并将其运用到生活方式产 品上。这种才能在 Christian Lacroix Maison 最 新的家居用品系列“生活的艺术”（Art de Vivre）中 得到了完美体现。该系列运用艳丽的色彩和醒目的 印花，向法语中“生活之乐”（joie de vivre）的概念致 敬，与该品牌标志性的大胆风格相得益彰。 这一系列的设计受到了法国大革命期间“奇装异 服”（Incroyables et Merveilleuses）的启发——在 那个时代，穿着奇装异服的人们借用鲜艳的色彩表 达自身信仰。该系列将全新的条纹及花卉图案用于 织物、家具垫衬物、软装潢和墙纸上，其图案设计糅 合了法国大革命期间曾在军装上使用的花结，向18 世纪花园致敬的纷繁精致的花束，以及在大革命时 期象征着自由的单色条纹。 “我很荣幸能为这样一个重视宽容、多样性、自 由和幻想的品牌工作，”Walckhoff如是说。今年该 品牌与陶瓷专家Vista Alegre合作出品两套瓷器，其 价值品质可见一斑。其中第一套名为“圣母像” （Madones），该系列由三只瓷盘组成，每只瓷盘的 轮廓都取材于Lacroix的经典服装设计。第二套“爱 汝所想”（Love Who You Want）则是饰有动物图 样的碟子和小盒，这些图案包括“公牛阁下” （Monseigneur Bull）——一只周身饰有鲜花和蕾 丝的贵族公牛，还有“丛林之王”（ Jungle King）——一只头顶带着由闪光羽毛和蕾丝编成的 王冠的狮子。

Christian Lacroix的家居系列承载着品牌在服 装设计领域的造诣，不难看出Walckhoff 依然对自 己的这位前任掌门和前导师心存敬意。但在确立 Lacroix最具决定性的设计时，他也陷入了挣扎。“这 是一道难题，”他沉思道，“毕竟这么多年当 中，Lacroix着实创造了不少堪称奇迹的作品。 “在高级服装设计方面，我们最重要的作品是第 39号，它发布于2002/2003秋冬高级女装系列，是 一件红色刺绣新娘礼服，乍看上去有点儿像一件斗 牛士斗篷，麦当娜就曾在‘忏悔之旅’（Reinvention） 巡回演出时穿过它。在生活方式系列中，‘蝴蝶锦簇’ （Butterfly Parade）图案扮演着举足轻重的角色， 我们曾将它用在地毯、织物、墙纸和餐具上；这个图 案自2012年问世以来，在世界各地广受欢迎，至今 仍是我们的畅销之作。” Lacroix在这些新渠道上的成功证明了品牌的 持久力。随着它将创意的目光投向生活的每一个角 落，我们都能寄望于领略到Lacroix生活方式的奢华 风范。 84: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free 畅购全球，尊享退税 当您在全球顶级购物区中的30万多家商店消费时， 环球蓝联（Global Blue）购物退税服务（Tax Free Shopping）为您节约购物开销。 每年有两千六百多万名游客通过环球蓝联（Global Blue）获得购物退税，您怎能错过？您要做的只是寻 找蓝星标志或者问询商家是否提供环球蓝联 （Global Blue）服务，然后遵循我们简单的退税过 程：
