THE BEST NEW FASHION SHOWS: LOCATIONS AND DESIGNS

THE BEST NEW FASHION SHOWS

locations and designs

Designers have always been innovative when it comes to fashion shows, however, the previous year has left them truly inspired. In this article, we will tell you about the most fascinating fashion shows, theirs locations, and the intricacies of the featured designs.

CHANEL RESORT 2022

For its new Resort 2022 collection Chanel drew its inspiration from a movie, like many brands today do. Namely, the “Testament of Orpheus”, shot by no other than a famous director and a close friend of Coco Chanel, Jean Cocteau. Just like the movie, the collection was almost entirely black and white. The fashion show meanwhile was staged on the very set where the movie was originally shot in the 1960s – in the abandoned quarry of Carrières de Lumières in Provence.

The snow white background perfectly fit the atmosphere of this fashion show: creative director Virginie Viard embraced the contrast of black and white and the sensuality of the French style with the aesthetics of punk by showcasing combined crochet and leather, fringe and denim, tweed and mesh, mini-skirts and knitted capes, cropped jackets and wide-leg pants, tweed suits, dresses in prints and feathers.

DIOR PRE-FALL 2021

After months of eating one delivered pizza after another while wearing loungewear at home, many of us can admit to missing the party season. Luckily, Maria Grazia Chiuri decided to make Dior Pre-Fall show as festive as possible by focusing on bright colors, metallic materials, and animal prints all inspired by pop art.

The show took place in Shanghai, where the catwalk decorated with leopard print and bright gleaming images in disco style attracted a large number of spectators despite the pandemic.

“Shine!” said the motto of this Dior collection. Shimmering silver skirts, suits, and coats apparently weren’t enough to create the right mood, so Grazia Chiuri presented other extraordinary items embroidered with large colored sequins, psychedelic flowers on a black sweater, patent leather. The iconic Bar jacket this time was made from the checked silk and Toile de Jouy fabric in an unusual greenish-yellow color.

RALPH LAUREN SPRINGSUMMER 2021

Ralph Lauren is called the “King of American Fashion” for a reason, and this season he once again proved his title right. After its triumph in the 1920s, Art Deco finally made its grand return to fashion by being featured in the new Ralph Lauren collection in a form of a black and white film in the style of old Hollywood. The designer was inspired by calm earth tones and and by reserved, yet feminine silhouettes.

The brand ambassador Janelle Monáe performed several jazz hits at the brand’s Beverly Hills flagship. Relaxing lounge jazz and a parade of 1920s styles transported everyone back in time, when black and white movies were in and fashion was as whimsical as ever: retro dresses and pleated skirts: the collection’s retro dresses, pleated skirts in earthy shades, striped jackets, florals, and sequined evening wear were all you need to create your own retroinspired style.
