Ode to Madame Gres’ Draped Fashion

The creation “Femina dress, 1946″ by French fashion designer Madame Gres (1903-1993) is displayed during the exhibition “Madame Gres, Couture at Work” at the Bourdelle Museum in Paris July 7, 2011. For this celebrated couturier, who pleated and draped her waythrough a half century career in fashion, the art of meticulously folding fabric over the body to create dramatic sculpted forms elevated craft to art. Some 80 flowing creations from the artist who died in 1993 are on display this summer at Paris’ Musee Bourdelle, the first retrospective of this legendary Parisian with the signature Angora turban to whom contemporary fashion designers owe much. The exhibition will end on August 28.

Paris '50s Glamour Style

Colorful With Dazzling Details Red-Carpet Preview?

 By CHRISTINA PASSARIELLO
Twice a year, during the haute couture collections, the French fashion industry contemplates an existential crisis: Is the tradition of hand-made dresses and suits costing hundreds of thousands of dollars still relevant?
Couture week in Paris—now whittled down to a mere three days—offered several ripostes this week, from fashion as art at Christian Dior to luxury jeans at Chanel and one-of-a-kind ostrich feather miniskirts from newcomer Maxime Simoëns.
Couture week raises the spectacle of runway shows to its highest form. This season, the catwalks were awash in sequins, pearls, crystals and even snaps embroidered on dresses. A chaste theme of minimal bare skin and below-the-knee looks ran throughout.
A New Wave of Color 
There was also plenty of color, from hot pink at Gaultier Paris to ruby red at Armani Privé—a penchant that could herald a rainbow of hues on the Oscars' red carpet.
