REVIEW - ISSEY MIYAKE WOMENS S/S 2010 - CARROUSEL du LOUVRE, PARIS |
|
October 5th 2009
North, south, east and west was the inspiration behind the Issey Miyake spring summer 2010 collection. Designer Dai Fujiwara's combination of print and textile allowed for a collection rich in colour and pattern providing refreshing difference to what seemed in all a very achromatic Parisian Fashion week. (bar one Mr McQueen of course)
Set in the cavernous Salle le Nôtre inside the Carrousel du Louvre, the sizeable and empty light blue runway gave a sense of anticipation you would feel when waiting for an Olympic equestrian event. Once the models entered, they made use of their expansive arena in an unconventional routine, zigzagging and circulating in perfect harmony like ethereal sprites, floating over the blue of the runway in their diaphanous dress.

REVIEW – ALEXANDRA OWEN A/W 2010 – VIADUCT SHED ONE, AUCKLAND |
|
The intimate all white shed 1 was a blank canvas for Alexandra Owens 2010 winter collection, as she is one fashion week designer who’s fit and finishing stand up to the scrutiny of a close look which the smaller venue provides.
The equine tougher bred models were sent out fur-stoled and bridled. Loose half up 40’s style hair falling into soft curls. Older models: mid twenties, were edging closer to the intended market in contrast to the seemingly childlike models cast in other shows. Heels, de rigueur in fashion right now, were sky high but wrapped and taped to legs with shrink wrap and electrical tape.

REVIEW - NOM*D A/W 2010 – SKY CITY THEATRE, AUCKLAND |
The audience in the Sky City Theatre mostly donned in black were rendered invisible in the low light of the cinema. NOM*D chose to present a film for this year’s Fashion Week with models weaving around the tiered theatre showing the 12 looks featured in the film.
The film starts with childlike models swathed in layers of white pinafores, lingerie knits, high pleat and rolled collars made with metres of fabric. These all white outfits are standout pieces in the characteristic NOM*D sea of darkness.
