When you look closely at a piece of clothing, listen closely, and feel its texture, you can sense its vibrations. What a designer feels, what they dream of, what they should offer—sometimes driven by emotion, sometimes by wise judgment—these vibrations are imbued in the finished garments.
Emotional
Fashion designers weave stories inspired by paintings, music, and other elements into their seasonal themes and present them in runway shows. These stories can sometimes be dramatic depictions of love, or clever portrayals of the subtleties of everyday life. A truly moving show can elicit a standing ovation. However, it's important to remember that the heart of the show is the new clothes; the context is interpreted through the materials, design, coordination, and accessories.
Hedi Slimane's Saint Laurent depicts a slightly rebellious girl from a well-off family. Inspired by Kate Moss, reminiscent of Monsieur Saint Laurent's muse, Betty Cateleau, the collection exuded an anti-establishment vibe. She provocatively wore a glamorous lace and sequined dress under a rider's jacket. The story that Albert Lanvin wrote was a celebration of clothing and women. The sexy dress worn by an expressionless lady has something in common with the words of Shuzo Kuki in "The Structure of Life," in which the spiritualization of courage and coquetry becomes stylish. Thus, COMME des GARÇONS collections are always designed with an emotional intensity, and continue to shock viewers.
Intelligent
Coincidentally, the clothes of the three designers in this category are all female. As mentioned earlier, their presentations start from "clothes they would want to wear." They tend to value "casual clothes," or everyday wear, over "special clothes," worn on special occasions. This idea is consistent with the real clothes of the 1990s, when Miuccia Prada made her debut. Real clothes that enrich women's daily lives require simple, rational colors and rational cuts rather than emotional frills.
In her second collection as designer for Hermès, Nadège Vange-Cybulski reinterpreted Hermès' exquisite materials and scarves with a method as simple as a beautiful, orderly mathematical formula. Phoebe Philo, who leads Celine, intelligently harnesses the delicate sensibilities of women and pursues modernism in everyday life. Stella McCartney, who aims to be an honest company for a sustainable world, develops materials with a low environmental impact while creating beautiful and fun fashion.
