Hauser & Wirth’s space on Rämistrasse in Zurich presents the first Make Hauser & Wirth exhibition in Switzerland Curated by Jacqueline Moore, Senior Director of Make Hauser & Wirth, ‘Within Without’ examines the dialogue between artists like David Gates, Helen Carnac, Derek Wilson, Alexander deVol, and features LOEWE Foundation Craft Prize finalists, Akiko Hirai (2019), Harry Morgan (2019), Peter Bauhuis (2021) and Julia Obermaier (2022).

The exhibition in Zurich puts on view both traditional techniques and new and evolving notions of material investigation, highlighting the creative excellence and vision of the makers’ individual practices and in turn, suggesting the true breadth of contemporary craft.

Hauser & Wirth‘s 30th Anniversary Interview: Jacqueline Moore, Senior Director of Make Hauser & Wirth

Originating in Somerset, England, Make launched in 2018 and this summer, its second outpost debuted in Southampton NY Works exhibited by Make embrace material truth, provenance, sustainability and the value of emotional engagement with the handmade

With the debuting exhibition in Zurich, curator Jacqueline Moore, honours knowledge, process and experimentation, the objects on view reveal an intuitive response to interior and exterior form and material properties, (see below)

What did you focus on when curating this particular group of eminent artist makers for the Zurich art lovers?

This presentation in Zurich shows our long term dedication to artist makers who have been at the core of our pro gramme since its inception I particularly focused on a dynamic selection of makers who have a shared vision for experiment ation

Multidisciplinary works by these eight artist makers, spanning disciplines from wood, ceramic and gemstone to metal, glass and concrete; include Hirai’s texturally rich ceramic moon jars imbued with an animate energy; the hand carved forms of deVol that reveal the inherent properties of wood; altered vessels by Wilson exploring the fluid potential of geometry, and the jewellery of Obermaier

Could you elaborate on the Make concept and the idea to debut Make in Zurich?

Jacqueline Moore: Over the past four years, we’ve held over 23 exhibitions in locations across the UK, Europe and the US that have celebrated some of the best independent artist makers working today

We’re thrilled to introduce such an outstanding selection of artist makers for Make’s first presentation in Switzerland, the birthplace of Hauser & Wirth and home to a great tradition of makers and craftsmen

We want to celebrate and grow the relevance of contemporary craft on a wide scale and our commitment to these artist makers, plus our growing internati onal presence, is testament to that

Evolving Make across digital platforms over the past couple of years has also been an exciting development, but the works at Make really demand to be seen, held, touched We’re pleased to offer the Swiss audience a visceral, intimate experience with the works on display at Hauser & Wirth Rämistrasse

What do you hope to convey through this presentation to the Zurich audience?

The presentation essentially compacts the ethos of Make all into one with the wide range of disciplines on display, from wood, ceramic and gemstone to metal, glass, and concrete It also honours both traditional techniques and new and evolving notions of material investigation It’s really an opportunity to view the true breadth of contemporary craft

When curating this presentation, I wanted to celebrate the rich narratives and vision at the heart of contemporary craft practice and offer visitors a deep engagement with the handmade

Could you give some examples of what is unique about the approach to the materials used by artists?

Each maker possesses an intimate understanding of their material, whether working with methods rooted in tradition or employing new techniques. The vision for experimentation that I’ve discussed is

what makes each approach distinctive For example, Harry Morgan often reimagines the traditional Venetian glassblowing technique ‘murrini ’ Peter Bauhuis also deviates from the norm by purposefully engaging with chance He does this by fusing different alloys and playing with oxidation Similarly, Akiko Hirai revels in the deliberate imperfections and impuri ties that emerge through the firing process. Other makers, such as Derek Wilson, Julia Obermaier and David Gates, consider functionality when approaching their materials in order to create sculptural objects that can also be used.

Hauser & Wirth

For some makers, the act of making serves as both a meditative and therapeutic activity and, in turn, the handmade object often embodies the maker’s story

I believe that living with the handmade allows one to continue the journey of an object, to take part in an exchange with the maker This emotional engagement with the handmade is what makes them so special and that’s why it’s at the core of Make Hauser & Wirth. An emotive response to the work, a resonance with the maker’s story and an appreciation of the skill and techniques involved these are some of the things that are important when considering such objects

How is collecting works of art created from various natural materials different from collecting paintings, and what should collectors focus on in particular?

KicoCamacho’s Oasessculptures

By Carlos Mundy

Concern about the effects of climate change on the Earth and the artist’s interest in ecology has led him to use, at various levels, nature as the framework for his work. His passion for water not only as a means of personal enjoyment

throughout his life but, above all, as a sacred gift has made this element an inherent part of his work, whether it be pictorial or sculptural.

Water is a main part and vital foundation in all cultures and all religions since it is a constituent element of life, a source of sustenance and fundamental for the existence of all living organisms In innumerable myths and poetic creations water appears as an image or reflection of the soul, and for Kico Camacho it is a mirror of our collective soul; the level of our consciousness reflected in the health or deterioration of our water basins, the mirror in which to look at ourselves.

It is through abstract elements, codes of pictorial reading, colour, forms, perspective, symbolic elements, light and reflections that the artist creates changing atmospheres with the aim of tempting the observer to enter the work either physically and/or mentally, depending on the case completing it, transforming it and making it his own An invitation to travel beyond physical and mental limitations, to ask ourselves questions, to establish a dialogue with our sensitive and subconscious side, to undertake an adventure of discovery through imaginative and infinite readings.

An oasis is a vital part of life in the arid and semi arid climate, and they are a model for the natural interaction of desert people with their environment In most cases, they are the only source of freshwater and are essential stops along trade routes as merchants must replenish food and water supplies.

Kico Camacho feels that the cities of the Middle East are XXI century oases: a metaphor of the metropolis as an ecosystem where life thrives and therefore is preparing an exhibition of his 3D Oasis as a preamble to the construction of his monumental oasis sculpture in one of the Middle East metropolises that would become an emblematic and iconic landmark

The magnificent sculpture will be a structure that can be visited, and people will enter it and stroll appreciating the beauty of an oasis, reconnecting with the phenomenon of which is LIFE It will be a magical space that allows the visitor to perceive and experience through the five senses beyond a plausible reality It aims to be a place of encounter with others and with oneself in an environment where the colours, the water, the labyrinth of a forest form and earthly and imaginary OASIS at the same time.

Both the exhibition and the monumental sculpture is a call to raise awareness on the oasis fragile ecosystem and the challenges of its preservation.

Left: Tha artist in his Madrid studio. Above: The Oasis sculpture and complex. Below: Oasis 3D virtual reality Right: Oasis 3D

The preservation of the oasis of the Arabic desert, one of the extreme environments in the world is vital for the animals which live and survive in them such as spiny tailed lizards, sand cats, oryx and gazelles Oasis are the guarantors of prosperity for many communities around the globe

Inspired by this extraordinary project, the artist will create also site specific sculptures both for outdoors and indoors by commission: the Oasis 3D is a development of his current work which is based on silhouettes and interposed planes that use colour, perspective, light and reflection to

to create kaleidoscopic spaces. A confluence of rivers bordering islands from whose entrails springs a surprising world.

The medium: Steel, polyurethane, polyester with glass fibre, wood, carbon fibre concrete

The planned exhibition will come alive art lovers, collectors and guests will be invited for a one hour, sensorial guided experience of the artist’s vision of the Oasis through art & technology (sound, light, smell, taste, and tact)

From 22 September to 17 December 2022, Hauser & Wirth Monaco presents 'Roni Horn 'SWEET IS THE SWAMP WITH ITS SECRETS'' curated by Jerry Gorovoy, President of The Easton Foundation For the first time, the artist's work will be read through the prism of cinema

This remarkable exhibition draws on Horn's exploration of the intersection of perception and identity, one of her main themes. Presented alongside the artist's photography and sculpture are clips from Ingmar Bergman’s 1966 drama ‘Persona’, highlighting the influence of cinema on Horn's work

This juxtaposition not only clarifies the profound influence of cinema on Horn’s work, both formally and conceptually, but also sheds light on its intense psy chosexuality, which is often submerged under its conceptual rigor and empirical character.

This juxtaposition not only clarifies the profound influence of cinema on Horn’s work, both formally and conceptually, but also sheds light on its intense psychosexu ality, which is often submerged under its conceptual rigor and empirical character. Thus his exhibition reveals that the body, desire and sexuality the ‘secrets’ of the ‘swamp’ are equally crucial to the instability and mutability of identity, which is Horn’s main theme The title is taken from a poem by Emily Dickinson. Both Bergman and Horn reveal the tension between the external world, where the socially inscribed body reigns and the locus

LuxuryWatch Market'sShifts

External forces such as global stock markets that have shattered the confidence of any retail investor that has suffered declines of not less than 20% YTD conservatively, and can go up to 80% if it was a highly speculative portfolio Another external force is the so called transitory inflation that hasn’t yet shown any sign of abidance even after the FED's interest rate hikes, and that’s a massive concern to speculators that face a risk of the FED increasing interest rate hikes as a benchmark

At the peak of the luxury watch market in early 2022, Rolex stainless steel models traded at 3x their listed prices; meanwhile, Patek Philippe Nautilus models traded at more than 5x their listed prices."

By Omar Al Bataineh, Finance and Watch Editor Founder of www watchaholics net

Don’t blindly follow someone, rather follow the market's whispers and try to hear what it is telling you The more inexperienced individuals enter any market, the more it is exposed to overinflated prices.

The luxury watch market post pandemic has seen a lot of self proclaimed gurus that lack knowledge of the global market's economic state, which may be one of the many reasons for overinflated prices

At the peak of the luxury watch market in early 2022, Rolex stainless steel models traded at 3x their listed prices; meanwhile, Patek Philippe Nautilus models traded at more than 5x their listed prices

The luxury watch market, being an alternative asset class that gets influenced by traditional assets, has started to correct, but the secondary market hasn’t been looking great. Markets are usually affected by both external and internal forces

Internal forces, such as overleveraged investors that entered the market in its best times thinking it was a money making heaven, now face the reality of the market's drawbacks and may have to dump inventory to meet leverage obligations

Economics 101

When interest rates are low, investors get the chance to speculate more on risky asset classes that generate abnormal returns However, interest rates can’t stay low forever or else it will cause inflation, mispriced assets, and many other compli cations The luxury watch, like any other alternative asset class post COVID 19 that has gone through abnormal, unjustified growths, must come back to its mean prices, if not lower, due to current economic and political complications In addition to the above, the gray market has shown signs of being very manipulative in terms of some charitable auctions, or maybe even call it the free publicly announced tax write off

The tax system's loopholes put some alternative asset classes in danger of inflated prices and may be one of the causes of a market's correction The tax system is one of many that add fuel to the fire; however, it is not as impactful as the amount of wealth low interest rates and cryptocurrencies have caused.

An interview with

Steven Gurowitz

Chief Executive Officer, Interiors by Steven G., Pompano Beach, Florida, USA.

The expansion of Interiors by Steven G places the company as South Florida’s most prominent interior design firm. Not limited to residential spaces, the company's offer of personalized hospitality and commercial interior design services, from hotels, restaurants, and spas to institutions and public spaces, will further consolidate the company's established name amongst renowned developers and resid ential homeowners.

Offering high end contemporary design, the company has also specialised in transitional interior design, hospitality and commercial interior design, and traditional interior design approaches are all part of the company's luxury lifestyle offering Any property brand new or historic is valued by its character which comes from the people that work behind scenes to give the best enviroment to contemporary needs.

Despite the pandemic, Interiors by Steven G 's outlook for 2022 builds on the company's recent successes the

highly anticipated new Turnberry Ocean Club project

How did you start your interior design company?

After working with and helping to build a successful design firm for the first ten years of my career, I decided to do it my way, as Frank Sinatra would say! I resigned from my position and started Interiors by Steven G. from the den of my home 28 years ago

How did you find your niche in this field?

I knew that when starting my firm, I wanted clients to have access to everything they would need when designing their home So, I decided we would be a full service design firm, which has helped bring the firm to where we are today and continue to grow Our primary markets are all along the Eastern seaboard, although we are currently working on projects in Chicago, Arizona, the Cayman Islands, and Trinidad

As an award winning interior design firm what is your next large scale project?

Our most significant success has been the latest Turnberry Ocean Club project which is nearing a final sellout

We designed six furnished model apartments and an additional 22 units for buyers In addition, we are completing their three story penthouse that is on the market for $35 million and will be unveiled in 60 days.

How much is residental design part of your work?

Residential design is only a small part of our overall business We do tremendous condominium renovations of buildings for condo associations, condominium public spaces, as well as law firms, and doctors' offices

Currently, we're involved with 1212 Aventura, an upscale senior living facility in Aventura, FL

Today, how large is your team? And where is your HQ?

We lead a team of over 80 professionals and are actively hiring due to our growth

Our 110,000 sqft corporate showroom and headquarters is located in Pompano Beach, FL , where we have an endless array of furniture and decor on display

Considering Interiors by Steven G works as a full service design firm, can you explain what services it entails?

Our services include an in house AutoCAD and rendering department that creates hand drawn and digital renderings of projects for conceptual purposes.

In addition, we have multiple designers and assistants on site that will meet with and walk the client through the

design process from conception to completion We house and order all furniture, decor, accessories, greenery, and artwork and provide millwork installation, lighting, and window treatments.

What is the selection process like for the products/brands you house in your showroom?

We make sure to carry a wide range of selections within different price points to have, as I might say, 'a little for everybody ' We currently have over 2,200 lines to choose from!

Are there specific trends in interior design that have inspired you after we all decluttered our homes newly?

I don't necessarily believe in trends but in creating a classic and timeless design that will last through time. Regarding the pandemic's impact, I think there has been an evident increase in people situating their home space to accommo date working from home That said, every residential client has their own taste, and it is our job to design for them whether it’s designing a home office or creating a space for one!

Do you have other branches within the company?

Within the company, we have two branches Antiquities and NOW by Steven G Antiquities is a collection of museum quality antiques from around the world. We house over 300 authentic art deco and midcentury antique pieces NOW by Steven G. is the alternative option for investors and homeowners looking for affordable luxury while offering the same white glove service as Interiors by Steven G

Hotel Caron de Beaumarchais: a little secret in Paris

It is unusual to write an article about hotels that are not super luxury. We see reports in magazines about 5 to 7 star hotels, but sometimes luxury is not all the gold that glitters

For me, luxury is a compendium of small details That's why today I'm introducing you to the Caron de Beaumarchais hotel in Paris. A small private 3 star hotel that is a little gem for its charm. A hotel with keys like in the old days and where they don't ask for your credit card when you enter but when you leave as they used to do in the past In short, it is an oasis in the hotel scene.

CM: Alain, tell me how the Hotel Caron de Beaumarchais was born

AB: In 1991, the contemporary art market collapsed after a serious financial crisis in France. At the same time, my father sold a hotel he owned in Paris and decided to set up another business. I joined his project in 1992 without knowing that hotel management would become my profession

As luck would have it, we acquired a disused hotel in the Marais district, a hotel that had to close because the owner could not renovate it It was a wonderful opportunity, in the historic heart of Paris, to create a new place

CM: What was the process like?

AB: We lovingly did a complete renovation of a small 6 storey building built in the middle of the 19th century A complete restructuring that allowed for a project with a simple initial question:

"What is a hotel? More specifically, "What kind of hotel can you imagine in the historic centre of Paris that is frequented by foreigners and not by businessmen? Better yet, imagine yourself as a traveller abroad Moreover, ask yourself the simplest question, answer the definition of the words "travel" and "holiday"

By definition, a holiday means leaving your everyday life behind, freeing yourself from it, disconnecting. It also means opening up

To create a place of fantasy where antiques, period furniture, paintings, musical instruments, chandeliers and fabrics on the walls combine to create a surprise "Is this a hotel?" That's the question you hear every day from passers by who stop, amazed. It remains the most beautiful of compliments The "concept" works.

A hotel that is not quite a hotel at all, without reception, with a small capacity and an authentic decor was new in 1992, and even almost non existent in Paris.

The Relais St Germain Carrefour de l'Odéon, the Ducs de Saint Simon, there were perhaps three of us who intuited, if not "invented", without knowing it, this concept of "boutique hotel" whose name means nothing

CM: And the decoration?

to the culture and history of your chosen country It means to be surprised To enjoy. To be welcomed. Disconnection is the key to the place we will create

CM: And why did you name the hotel?

AB: Beaumarchais, whose real name was Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, author of The Marriage of Figaro, lived a few steps from the hotel, at 47 rue Vieille du Temple We have associated his name with the hotel The way is open to create a place of total disconnection, of dream and fantasy inhabited by the spirit of the 18th century, echoing the extraordinary personality of Caron de Beaumarchais.

AB: To create a place invested by the spirit of 18th century France, a time when women in France, under Louis XV, took power over men, over the arts and literature, is to create a place for women Attention to detail has been the key and included even the small bouquet of roses in the rooms, which adds a delicate touch.

Antiques and furnishing fabrics are subtly combined to tell a story, to create an atmosphere What the Italians call ambiente, an untranslatable term that the word "ambience" fails to describe The ambition to be the opposite of decoration This is the secret of the hotel.

Carte Blanche

After celebrating the historic High Jewellery collection that Louis Boucheron, son of the Maison’s founder, Frédéric, created for the Maharajah, this time, Boucheron has confronted and mixed together worlds and materials one could initially think are contradictory; where diamonds meet pebbles and burnt wood, gold meets rattan and meteorite

BBoucheron redefines boundaries of high jewellery, combining the Maison's esthetics with contemporary vision of Claire Choisne, Creative Director of Boucheron who seems to have had Carte Blanche unlimited possibiliteas and freedom to put together the Fall 2022 High Jewellery collection while respecting efforts to preserve nature.

Carte Blanche refers to a series of High Jewelry Collections, including the Carte Blanche Holographique High Jewelry Collection, presented in July 2021, where the Maison explored a new definition of light, its reflection patterns from a prism and the complexity of light. This time Claire Choisne "takes us" Ailleurs – Elsewhere. An utopian “elsewhere”.

Like in many stories, it starts with a dream 'Ailleurs' where everything is possible, free of physical borders, and where nature remains untouched "

Chaumet's Wa

Comètes des Mers parure

Chaumet celebrates more than two centuries of fine craftsmanship and savoir faire that adorn some of the most stylish women in the world. Chaumet's new high jewellery collection was presented this July in Paris with prominent guests attending and cinema stars Since its foundation in 1780, Maison Chaumet has drawn inspiration from the elements of nature, among which water and flora play a major role. Currently, the Maison's heritage of savoir faire and craftmanship is highlighted in the large exhibition 'Botanical Observing Beauty' in a collaboration with the Beaux Arts de Paris at the Beaux Arts de Paris Crossing visions, eras and media, this original exhibition highlights the natural world that is repre sented and celebrated through the universal lens of art and beauty Chaumet masters the anguage of art and with this new collection, the Maison conveys the sea wisper to jewellery

making The Maison debuts a High Jewellery collection for the first time entirely inspired by the sea

The Chaumet's sea contains unseen aquatic flora and fauna beauty, and Maison's contemporary gaze transforms this world through rich colour blocking, in elegant sea horse shaped ladys watch, or sea shell brooche, with determined linear geometrical motifs, and flowing corals, all richly embelished with superior traditional crafts of gemmsetting For its aptly named "Ondes et Merveilles de Chaumet" High Jewellery collection, the Maison pays homage to the rich sea world and introduces a unique jewellery language of the sea The new High Jewellery collection, which is also an extension of Torsade de Chaumet, the Maison’s previous High Jewellery collection

The Comète des Mers parure (above) adapts the reflec tion of stars in the sky glistening on the sea bed Rising on a ball ring with a pearl body, an exceptional, almost round, natural pearl pairs the infinite delicacy of its pale blush pink hue with its extraordinary weight of 55 grains. The brilliance in its multicoloured star comes from a fascinating inner life of a treasured padparadscha Padparadscha sapphire, famous for its majestic orange pink hue on the outside and the refined interior shades in pink, adds to the translucent sea theme

The notion of waves and mo vement is also explored in the undulating necklaces through the interaction of volumes, heights, and diamond cuts.

Chaumet colours the collection with the seas In the story of the house, the Déferlante parure which captures the Maison signature such as head jewels, the toi et moi and the tiara are redesigned to be worn in a contemporary way: Several different looks are possible thanks to a full line of the one of a kind transform able pieces: a head jewel becomes a brooch, a sautoir transforms into a short necklace, the climber earring has two ways to wear it, and the 6.05 carat diamond transforms from a ring covering the finger bone to a solitaire mount The sixty nine works in the Ondes et Merveilles de Chaumet collection capture the splendor and diversity of the oceans around the globe The colored stones translate the journey The voyage is translated by the stones that colour the collection with all the nuances of the seas. Each has its own story to tell, but all convey an emotion arising from an encounter with the Maison’s gemologists.

The intense red spinel and bright blue sapphire set

For example, the Escales parure (top image) perfectly illustrates the art of colour central to the Maison Inspired by suspended time in harbour, when the sails are lowered and the engines cut, the Escales parure perfectly illustrates the art of colour central to the Maison, featuring a row of spinels in an exceptional brick red hue set out against sapphires, evoking translucent waters The narrative impact of this chromatic combination imbues a ball ring and pear cut diamond drop climbing earrings

Set with a pear shaped Paraiba tourmaline crowned with a tiara of spinels, another ring evokes the rocking motion of boats at anchor, their reflection imperceptibly shifting when a speedboat passes offshore (left)

With the Ondes et Merveilles de Chaumet collection, the artisans of the 12 Vendôme workshop are not only hono uring the jewellery craftsmanship of which they are both the guardians and the transmitters Their virtuosity is extended to sensational timepieces like the new High Jewellery watch made to resemble gracious sea horse, and sculpted in white and rose gold, set with cushion cut and oval cut red spinels, round sapphires, round Paraiba tourmalines, marquise cut and brilliant cut diamonds. Characterised by modernism, and athletic spirit, the Maison successfully introduces new mode to curating a High Jewellery collection. See more on Chaumet com

What is padparadscha sapphire?

Sapphires glitter in all the colours of the rainbow. Blue sapphires are the best known, but the rarest is the orange-pink variety, which is even referred to under its own name: padparadscha. This highly sought-after gemstone displays a mixture of delicate pink and orange. Its subtle play of colours is reminiscent of a sunrise on Sri Lanka, the island in the Indian Ocean where padparadschas were first discovered.

new era for the Maison begins with the Fall 2022 Couture collection

AETERNAL GIFTS presented by Co Creative Directors Georges and Jad Hobeika

Just before the Paris couture fashion show, the new collaboration was formally unveiled. Each item in the collection is a meticulously intricate homage to the unique treasures of Mother Nature, translated into amazing suits and dresses by the Mains Précieuses seamstresses in the House's Beirut Atelier. Exceptional maturity, unrestricted imagination, and reverence for the illustrious Maison Georges Hobeika combined with couture savoir faire The Fall 2022 couture collection recognizes that there is no "one size fits all" ideal of beauty, silhouette, or sex, while remaining faithful to the Maison's aesthetics. It was a surprising feeling of spring in almost all the Paris collections and here also, combined with dramatic feathers and jewel like sculptural formations of stones and crystal appliqués, the season’s palette flushes from Mediterranean blues to sunset tones of peachy orange, yellow, fuchsia and pink, the signature colour combination of the Maison, with noticeably new playfulness from the new co director blended with the House’s DNA, adapts a futuristic realm through a range of innovative techniques, from meticulous airbrushing to metallic feathers and spikes.

“LE“LE“LE RÉVEIL RÉVEIL RÉVEIL DE DRAMI E DRAMI E RAMI KADI”KADI”KADI”

Words: N Ahmet

Rami Kadi continues to present his Haute Couture collections in new and refreshing ways After his past collection, Couture Spring Summer 2022, which merged the boundaries between the physical and the digital, Kadi has always been keen on adapting to new technologies to convey the couture to clients and has been pioneering several innovations, like being the first designer to introduce a cyber fashion show before COVID 19 With his new collection, Rami Kadi invites us all further into a world of unimaginable beauty that was unveiled live from within the lush green gardens of a Polish historic castle.

The Fall/Winter 22 23 couture collection by Rami Kadi Maison de Couture explores the tenacious nature of life And the obvious context to study this is in nature The point is no longer whether couture is for salons or the street; the point is that couture is compatible with our nature and sustainable goals

Kadi's collection, which consists of 35 couture gowns, is distinguished by the symbolism of its vivid hues, which tell the tale of laying new foundations on top of ruins and chaos The collection's name, Le Réveil, was inspired by this cycle of rebirth

Le Réveil's color palette is limited to five colors Fuschia, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Orange and represented by five monochrome dresses in each, which are set against five dresses in white and five in black, completing the range of variety that gives Le Réveil its appeal, Rami kadi com

Alexis Mabille

Alexis Mabille's Fall Couture 2022 show was presented as an upbeat concert where models swayed their way down the purple runaway to upbeat tunes, while being keenly watched by front row guests Dita von Teese, Ellen von Unwerth, Sasha Ray, and many others This was the grand climactic presen tation after three years of anticipation by the audience for live Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week

Sending one iconic couture look after another the show was a potpourri of Mabille’s signature designs The sleek and sophisticated look for day wear and oversized tulle dresses for evening or why not a flower shaped top or hat. Lyonnaise designer puts focus to the flow of the garment,

and Mabille's line is an elongated and often Greek inspired incorporation of a timeless woman who chooses elegance over comfort

Mabille dresses young women who seek more fresh and modern couture, and Mabille is renowned for lines that are inherently feminine, timeless, and trend proof and well tailored, whether it is an hour shaped long cardigan that is transformed into a dress or a short dress with structured shoulders

Bringing famous Lyon lace, most of the looks are free from embroidery, yet Mabille blends delicate materials, embro idery and finishes, like on floor length silk dresses adorned with Chantilly lace, because Mabille's couture is known for its lightness, but the woman who wears it exudes strength.

Murad proposes a Haute Couture collection of almost entirely floor length dresses made for important events that have been postponed for far too long. Fall parties and events are the perfect setting for looks that celebrate a woman, rather than being revealing, paired with exquisite detail

Zuhair Murad was one of the select few couture houses to stage a live fashion show in January 2022, much to the pleasure of the press and the spectators

This time, all the Maisons adopt Murad's fierce approach and organize sizable fashion shows, allowing for the true appreciation of couture

The best view of the ornate cuts and elaborate stitching is from the front row The Lebanese designer took style cues from the universes of astronomy and astrology. Murad lifts everything up beyond the horizon seeking narrative from the

Spring 2022 couture show, which was based on the vision of stylish maritime explorers For fall the brand is inspired by the beauty the universe, with symbolism and themes related to astrology, astronomy, and prediction The fascination with elements and secrets of the universe is well timed theme for fall, especially after NASA's James Webb Space Telescope gave us photographs of the previously invisible galaxies recently.

Large moon or star pendants that fasten asymmetric dresses together at the waist or on the shoulders This couture collections is infused with well placed abstract embroidery patterns and color combinations, like gold and royal purple that are inspired by the symbols of the universe and night sky the majority of the figure flattering gowns were lavishly embellished and expertly sculpted and draped around the waist.

This time the look was very clean and with minimal attention to accessories Instead, Murad has focused on creating a collection of sublime gowns in darker tones that are a signature of his style, playfully embroidered The show perfectly brings back to life the flamboyance and purpose of dressing up again!

Murad's signature asymetric lines and Hellenistic drapery morphed into shapes that were more dynamic, modern, and more glamorous

Daniel Roseberry, as Artistic Director at Maison Schiaparelli, masters the surrealist expression that the founder proposed almost 100 years ago when the Maison was founded in Paris. The dramatic Fall 2022 Couture presentation was moved from its intimate salons at 21, Place Vendôme, to a bigger stage in the city, which seems appropriate now for a brand that is worn by some of the world's biggest artists at the world's greatest stages.

The Fall 2022 couture show’s grandiosity is not just felt in the venue but in the acoustic atmosphere with church bells Yes the long awaited Paris Fashion Week begins and closes to the sound of church bells, and in a good way! For Daniel Rosenberg, it was a matter of childhood memories As he confessed in a recent interview, the church is, "a family business," as he calls it Roseberry did choose another way of living, but don’t expect to find nun like discipline in cuts like the couture style that Elsa Schiaparelli’s contemporary Coco Chanel was famous for.

Roseberry's approach is the opposite, exploring the concept of a woman who lives passionately and wears her heart on her sleeve, as symbolically depicted by the final look, where an asymmetrical bodice in red silk reveals the left side of the breast area, that is adorned with a finely crafted red lacquered anatomical heart pendant with rhinestones, held by a necklace, Schiaparelli com By N Ahmet.

VALENTINO

ANATOMY OF COUTURE Spring Haute Couture show by Pierpaolo Piccioli for Maison Valentino questioned the feminine figure as a socio anthropolo gical construct

The Fall Couture collection continues to go further back to the roots of this discourse and Piccioli aptly named the new collection 'The Beginning'. Appreciating how the couture is a way to celebrate body and individual, Piccioli adapts the most iconic part of Rome the Spanis Steps to present the most sophisticated and dreamy looks which prompted American

Vogue editor Anna Wintour to jump at the end to give him and the atelier a standing ovation, because this show is as much a celebration of the so calle petite mains, who followed the Creative Director to receive acknowled gement at the end of the show on a warm Roman night The previous show held at Valentino’s gilded salons on the Place Vendôme, and its intimacy was replaced by the grandeur of the Eternal City Masterful colour blocking is in Valentino's DNA, this time crowned by Irish haute couture miliner's feather hats and pieces, which would undeniably thrill one of his most loyal collectors and late muse Isabella Blow, see also Valentino com By N Ahmet
