The final day of couture shows in Paris showcased the work of three experimental designers: Yuima Nakazato from Japan, Imane Ayissi from Cameroon, and Aelis from Italy. Each designer brought their own unique perspective to the world of fashion, captivating the audience with their creativity and craftsmanship.
Yuima Nakazato’s collection was presented in the stunning Oratoire du Louvre, a famous Protestant church in Paris. The show opened with black pantsuits adorned with fiery orange or violet trimmings, perfectly matching the models’ vibrant hair colors. The collection then transitioned to tie-dyed chiffon spirits and mythical creatures, with feathers and elf-like ears adding an ethereal touch. As the models gracefully walked along the stone floor, the audience was captivated by the standout pieces – puckered skill fantasies that evoked images of samurai movies.
Imane Ayissi, a couturier from Cameroon, received well-deserved recognition for his elegant and expressive couture show. After the show, Ayissi was honored with the prestigious Chevalier de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres in France. Pascal Morand, Executive President of the Federation de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, presented Ayissi with the award, commending his multidimensional career. Ayissi expressed his gratitude to his family, atelier, the Federation, and the house of Yves Saint Laurent for their unwavering support. The collection showcased a harmonious blend of bright colors and African influences, all created with sustainable fabrics, making it a truly unique and memorable experience.
Aelis, an independent fashion house led by Sofia Crociani, presented their collection through a captivating fashion video titled “Nirvana.” Set in a Left Bank hotel particulier, the video showcased the brand’s signature fluid draping, elaborate bows, and evocative imagery. To further highlight the craftsmanship, Crociani held a showroom and private appointments at the Park Hyatt, allowing attendees to appreciate the exquisite noble fabrics up close. Inspired by personal memories of jeans, lace, and films, Crociani’s collection brought a sense of nostalgia to the forefront amidst the ongoing pandemic.
The final day of Paris couture once again demonstrated the city’s ability to attract innovative designers who push the boundaries of creativity. Each designer brought their own distinct vision, reminding us that the art of fashion remains vibrant and diverse.
