Charles de Vilmorin is quickly becoming a rising star in the fashion world, captivating audiences with his latest couture video that showcases his immense talent and boundless creativity. Shot in a quarry outside of Paris, the video takes viewers on a mesmerizing journey through a distressed oasis, featuring a cast of exotic and stunning models. At just five minutes in length, it stands out as the most evocative and brilliant fashion film of the Paris season.
The video exudes an undeniable enchantment, as the models march across the barren landscape toward the fabricated oasis. Dressed in asymmetrical black dresses adorned with cock feathers and tattered fabric, they evoke a futuristic world reminiscent of Cristobal Balenciaga’s Mad Max creations. What sets de Vilmorin apart is his extraordinary self-confidence, evident even in designing his own logo in his own handwriting. In one scene, he dons a governess gown with a sportswear elastic waist, flawlessly blending elegance with comfort.
Just when the video begins to exude gothic and dystopian vibes, de Vilmorin surprises the audience with a flawless chiffon halter neck gown worn by a model with flowing tresses and subtle floral underwear peeking out. Another standout moment features Joanne posing in a long gown with a train adorned with fabric, branches, and petals. It epitomizes couture as a “tree of life,” offering a sense of beauty and opulence.
De Vilmorin’s attention to detail is commendable, with mini claws, spirals, and hoods covering fingers and noses, injecting a whimsical touch into the gothic aesthetic. This technique is sure to inspire numerous imitations. The collection comprises eighteen looks, all but one in black. This departure from de Vilmorin’s typically vibrant color palette was a deliberate choice to create a dark and monster-inspired ambiance.
While making a name for himself with his eponymous brand, de Vilmorin is also preparing for his highly anticipated debut collection with the revered fashion house Rochas. Describing his vision for the brand, he envisions Rochas as a label for “young, dynamic, and modern women,” infused with his own “trash” aesthetic. Fashion enthusiasts can look forward to the unveiling of this exciting collaboration at a catwalk show during Paris Fashion Week.
Every aspect of de Vilmorin’s collection is meticulously crafted, down to the bold costume jewelry and statement accessories. From avant-garde alien-inspired earrings to knife-like brass feathers, these pieces add a touch of drama and elegance to the overall aesthetic. The collection is beautifully complemented by Francesco Russo’s exquisite shoe designs, elevating each look to new heights.
Towards the end of the video, the models shed their layers and gather at the dried-out oasis, adorned in fresh plissé gowns and layered chiffon coats. However, this tranquil moment is disrupted when Bilal, one of the video’s stars, sprouts five gigantic dinosaur teeth from his back, creating an eerie sense of impending judgment day.
In conclusion, Charles de Vilmorin’s couture video is a true masterpiece, reminiscent of a Fellini film. His extraordinary talent and unique vision solidify his role as a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry. As fashion enthusiasts eagerly await his debut collection for Rochas, it is evident that Charles de Vilmorin is destined for a brilliant and promising career.
