ALEXIS MABILLE-An underrated talent amongst megastars?
First of all, by underrated i mean not really underrated.After all, he’s still young,presenting in prestigious Paris Fashion Week and a member of the French Designers’ Council. But will all these flashing names showcasing each season i felt a sense of..aesthetic duty to point out that in his Fall 2011 Couture Collection,there’s again hidden potential for so much more,to the observing eye.
The collection was being inspired by french classical animal starred fables of LaFontaine,a risky idea when it comes to couture,since he opted to re-create the actual “characters” being mentioned in the myths. But i like such risks and in times where Mr Formichetti claimed that fashion is currently more than ever being defined by web, aka social networks,blogs,etc, i choose to give kudos for this creative interaction between fashion and classical literature.
So,going back to Alexis Mabille Fall 2011 Couture collection,we have to transform into high class,couture dresses, the Black Wolf, the Ant, the Magpie, the Horse,the Swan.Weird enough. Yet the idea worked brilliantly in most of the cases.As for the yellow tights,hec, fashion MUST be fun,even when dealing with couture! I’ll stay tuned to the whereabouts of Mr Mabille.Just an advice,be more daring and the stars are with you!
