Paris Fashion Week for Fall 2012:
Anna Wintour was overheard
saying at the Celine presentation. “Can you please ensure all fashion
shows are like this?” “This” being a tiny gathering of 30 editors;
Paris Haute Couture fashion designer, Phoebe Philo at the door
personally greeting everyone and looking much more at ease than she has
in the past, when she has been coralled in the middle of a crush of
admirers backstage at Celine’s bigger shows. The designer is due to give
birth to her third child next month – a boy – and perhaps it was an
extra need for calm that prompted this new approach. Whatever, the white
cube of a room, with its polished concrete floors suited Philo’s
almost-cube shapes. It would be fascinating to see her drawings: do they
resemble a child’s first blocky scribbles? The concept for this fashion
week collection – rectangular tops and masculine trousers with low
crotches – was certainly boxy. Add leather – the fabric of the season –
to the equation and you have the components for a entire warehouse of
cardboard packing cases.
