Macqueen Shows Sweet Aspect Spring/Summer 2013 Series
The coincidence is that Paul & Joe’s Sophie Albou and Isabel Marant find the same tropic—Hawaii for the spring/summer 2013. “She is a cool and active woman in work. She combines the scenery of city and Hawaii.” She says before the fashion show, ¡°it¡¯s a hot and interesting blending.” accurately, that’s not a new idea at present. But it perfectly shows Albou. Cropping is the main theme of her fall series. But her spring one expresses better ideas which are folds, short striped faded jeans printed with bomber and a slim white overcoat collocated with a cuffed trouser. Hawaii goes in everyone¡¯s view with iridescent flower embroidery and that looks like a jacket collocated with a shining plus size overcoat and low waist pinochetto.
In this dazzling digital time, the colorful tile pattern of Albou seems a little dim. Electronic shining orange and calendula will be better especially when it shows in a simple and sleeveless long dress and collocated with a pair of flattie. And a flexible sweater is the best. However, the next label shows you different holiday party dresses in style and sense. And that’s Macqueen.
The spirit of bees’ selfless returns inspires Sarah Burton to create Alexander McQueen’s this season’s series. Talk about bees, people thought that she would bring extreme works for she ever made subversive works for Mcqueen. But on the contrary, thinking of the bees’ color, shape and the croon and the fact that Burton now is a happy pregnant woman will make you believe that these dresses not only inherit the lee Macqueen’s styles in ideas and exquisite workmanship but also add some weird sweet elements. Honestly, it feels a little crazy that the models wearing a naughty modernist veil of bee keepers in head and corset suits with honeycomb patterns. That looks like a big sweet taffee. The inspiration of this supper exaggerate female image comes from a famous flowery painting of Alberto Vargas. “The style is happy”, said by Burton, “it comes from last season’s over-sensationalized proportion to mellower feminity.” That hot red evening dress even can awake Vargas from death. But can she create a dress with tutor empire style? As for that yellow dress which is even shining than that red one, it almost made to attract eyes. Honestly, such a show which is feast for eyes only suits Sugar, Sugar as its ending music. And this sweet feeling make people can’t help visioning.
Like her tutor, Burton shows the world her life philosophy by fashion show. In her new works, she keeps the attractive style. And we will wait and see how she designs more amiable works. She is great story and everyone should listen to her.
