ALEXANDRE VAUTHIER HAUTE COUTURE SS16: A BACKSTAGE STORY

Paris, Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture SS16. This season, Alexandre Vauthier thinks that less is more. Not in terms of styling but of key pieces for this Couture collection. The long evening flou dress, either in khaki or black, the military inspired jackets and the cargo pants are the main protagonists of this season and play a key role for each of the outfits from the show. High black suède cuissards are the main shoes, giving sexiness to dresses and oversized jackets. Black, khaki and red are the principal colors, whose materials are refined and empowered through animalier transparent prints, patent leather or nestled with Swarovski details. Indeed, once again, and this for his eight Haute Couture season, Alexandre Vauthier decided to collaborate with the crystals brand on the collection. Long draped V neck dresses become precious with the help of the Austrian crystal House, which has a long history in Haute Couture since its very beginning, from Charles Frederick Worth to Jeanne Lanvin. Last but not least, the Ray-Ban Aviator glasses give an eccentric but original touch to the whole show. The creative exuberance of the designer has as a result an emphatic femininity: the Vauthier woman is powerful, strong and without boundaries.
