Alexandre Vauthier - Haute Couture Autumn/ Winter 2014/15 Collection

At Alexandre Vauthier the Parisian is always present, but every season brings its own new version. For this latest haute couture collection, she appears both chic and sensual, determined yet stylish. The tailoring becomes more graphic even when the trousers are supple. The citron yellow and the prints (a first for Vauthier) bring dynamism, whilst the ‘flou’ is worked on to the point of obsession in some of the dresses. Black changes from deep to transparent, gold studs on a pair of leather trousers or a jacket induce a rock spirit, quickly forgotten through long sleeved extended sheath dresses which envelope yet at the same time reveal the body, such as the latest black designs with beaded ties. At Vauthier a brutal and positive energy is expertly deployed, shared, and delightedly received.
