<b>Anna Piaggi</b>, renommée éditrice du Vogue italien, décède aujourd'hui à 81 ans. Son style n'avait rien à envier à celui d'Isabella Blow, Daphne Guiness, Michelle Harper ou Anna Dello Russo. Ses looks, des collages méticuleux mettant en valeur une véritable originalité vintage et les plus excentriques modèles de chapeaux, étaient immanquables à chaque fashion week.<br />
On pourra imaginer un siège vide aux premiers rangs des défilés de septembre prochain.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>A</b></span>près les inoubliables défilés homme et les salons feutrés de la haute couture, place à la Fashion Week du prêt-à-porter féminin, version <b>hiver 2012-2013</b>. Le marathon commence dans la <b>Grosse Pomme</b>, qui, comme toujours, dicte ce que les hipsters de par le monde doivent posséder dans leur garde-robe.<br />
<b>Joseph Altuzarra</b>, jeune styliste aux origines françaises et chinoises, est l'un des intégrants de la nouvelle vague de créateurs new-yorkais qui s'impose de plus en plus depuis quelques années. La femme Altuzarra de l'hiver prochain sera l'héritière de <b>Corto Maltese</b> (l'inspiration principale du créateur pour cette collection): une fille voyageuse et bohème, sachant puiser dans de nombreux répertoires ethniques et culturels avec une élégance rafraîchissante comme la brise marine. Elle connaît les <b>caravanes gitanes</b> aussi bien que les cafés de la <b>Rive Gauche</b> parisienne, en passant par les <b>tipis indiens</b> de l'Amérique du Nord ou encore la rigueur des <b>uniformes militaires</b>. Cette infatigable nomade est de loin l'une des plus intéressantes propositions que New York nous réserve.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>A</b></span>fter the unforgettable menswear shows and the exclusivity of haute couture, the <b>Fall/Winter 2012-2013 </b>ready-to-wear collections are taking over. The fashion marathon begins in the <b>Big Apple</b>, who, like always, dictates what hipsters all over the world will be having in their closet to hit the clubs and fuel the nightlife like they should.</div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><b>Joseph Altuzarra</b>, the young designer with both French and Chinese origins, is one of the members of the new wave of New York talents establishing itself a little bit more each year. The Altuzarra woman of next winter will be honoring the legacy of adult comic-hero <b>Corto Maltese</b> (the designer's main inspiration for this collection): a travelling, bohemian girl, unafraid of getting hold of many cultural and ethnic </span><i style="color: #444444;">repertoires </i><span style="color: #444444;">at a time, with an elegance as fresh as a marine breeze. She knows the <b>gipsy caravans</b> as well as the cafés of <b>Paris' Left Bank</b>, probably has <b>Native American</b> ancestry and sharp <b>miltary uniforms </b>hold no secrets for her.</span> This tireless nomad is by far one of the most interesting propositions seen in the City that Never Sleeps this Fashion Week.<br />

De l'incontournable bordeaux au <b>vert olive </b>virant dans le moutarde, en passant par un <b>orange <i>shocking</i></b>, sans oublier le noir inévitable, le blanc signature et le gris, clair ou foncé. Quant aux coupes, la savante <b>superposition </b>du styliste, tout sauf excessive, s'additionne parfaitement aux imprimés Escher en format maxi et aux <b>lignes droites</b> que Rodriguez chérit tant. Le créateur américain d'ascendance cubaine a également présenté sa <b>première gamme d'accessoires</b> sur le podium, avec notamment des bottes à effet graphique ou des sacs style bowling bicolores. Réjouissant.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>I</b></span>t's not the first time that <b>Narciso Rodriguez</b> wows us with his signature minimalism, but it's certainly one of the most (if not the most) <b>colorful </b>collections he has done: from the ever-chic bordeaux to <b>olive green</b> and tones of mustard yellow followed by a <b>shocking orange </b>nuance, without leaving behind the inevitable black & white and various shades of grey. On the other hand, the cherished <b>layering </b>of the designer, eluding all kinds of excess, is a suitable complement to the maxi Escher-esque prints and the <b>straight linings </b>that can be found in the overall Rodriguez chronology. The Cuban American designer has also shown his <b>first accessories </b>on the runway: graphic knee-high boots and bicolor bowling-style bags. Cheerful, yet subtle.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>T</b></span>oute Fashion Week a une tragédie, mais l'hypocrisie de l'opinion publique dans ce petit monde en talons aiguilles se garde bien d'en parler explicitement quand il s'agit d'un grand nom, et d'une marque tellement vénérée qu'elle est devenue une institution. Eh oui, la tragédie dont je parle a été orchestrée par cet enfant terrible au biceps tatoués, cet adepte de la jupe masculine dont les collections sont euphoriquement applaudies tout au long de l'année: <b>Marc Jacobs</b>. Bien sûr, chacun sait que le styliste a déjà une réputation de provocateur insolent et ne recule jamais devant le <b>kitsch</b>, avec qui il entretient une longue histoire d'amour.<br />
Mais notre Marc est aussi capable de nous pondre des spectacles aux blancheurs virginales, comme on a pu le voir en septembre dernier, lors du défilé <b>Louis Vuitton</b> pour le printemps/été 2012, où les mignons tons pastels côtoyaient les cols en dentelle mamie-chic. Oui, Marc aime le changement, comme tout le monde le devrait dans la mode. Mais lorsque j'ai aperçu les premières photos de la collection Marc Jacobs automne/hiver 2012-2013, je n'ai pensé qu'à une chose; l'ironie mordante qu'<b>Oscar Wilde</b> a employé pour décrire la mode:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b><i>"une forme de laideur si intolérable qu'il faut en changer tous les six mois".</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Et pour être laid, c'était laid. Des mannequins grotesquement transformés, sur un fond à la <b>Dr. Seuss</b>, carrément thématique, se pavanaient sur le podium, portant de la tête aux pieds un <b>enchevêtrement </b>de "vêtements" incompréhensibles surmontés de <b>couvre-chefs poilus</b> dignes seulement d'un carnaval, avec le glamour en moins. Jacobs a essayé de concocter un mélange de matières, de textures, de motifs et de couleurs, qui ne peut qu'évoquer un monumental (et pardonnez mon expression) "<b>WTF</b>".<br />
D'accord, il a essayé de faire du fun, du fantastique, du rêve. Faut dire qu'il a eu des moments plus glorieux. La <b>disproportion </b>des silhouettes de cette collection ne peut être comparée aux créations essentiellement artistiques de <b>Rei Kawakubo</b> ou de <b>Thom Browne</b>, ou même de <b>Walter van Beirendonck</b>, car l'ensemble de la collection ne manque pas seulement de vision, mais aussi de <b>cohérence</b>. Quand on devient célèbre pour la façon dont on habille les femmes, on ne doit pas se croire capable de faire n'importe quoi et d'attendre tranquillement les ovations du public...<br />
Pour le moment, je ne vois que <b>Anna Dello Russo</b> porter ce que j'ai vu sur ce podium, et bien que j'admire son courage, je doute fort que toutes les clientes de Marc Jacobs se promènent dans la rue avec des cerises gigantesques sur la tête... Je me trompe? <b>L'auto-dérision, c'est bien</b>. Tourner au ridicule les milliers de filles prêtes à se damner pour porter une de tes robes, pas tellement.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;">______________________________________________________</span></div>
<br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">E</span></b>very Fashion Week has a tragedy, but the hypocrisy of the public opinion in this little world on stilettos is never sincere about it when the tragedy in question involves a famous name, a brand so sought-after that it becomes an institution. Alas, this tragedy I'm referring to has been orchestrated by this enfant terrible with tatooed biceps, this adept of the masculine skirt whose collections are euphorically applauded worldwide: <b>Marc Jacobs</b>. Of course, everyone knows that the designer has a provocative reputation and that <b>kitsch </b>is no unknown word to him. </div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
But our beloved Marc is also capable of putting up shows of pure whiteness and purity, like the one we witnessed a few months ago, during the spring/summer 2012 <b>Louis Vuitton</b> extravaganza, where sweet pastels and cute oversize granny-chic lace collars mingled together quite harmonically. Yes, Marc likes change, like everyone should in fashion. But when I laid eyes on the first pictures of the Marc Jacobs fall/winter 2012-2013 collection on Twitter, I could only think about one thing; the ironic desciption of fashion made by <b>Oscar Wilde</b>:</div>
<br />
<b><span class="st" style="color: #444444;"><i>"a form</i> of <i>ugliness so intolerable</i> that <i>we have</i> to <i>alter</i> it <i>every six months".</i></span></b><br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
And it was ugly indeed. The models, unrecognizable, paraded in front of a themey <b>Dr. Seuss</b>-inspired background, wearing from head to toe an unfortunate <b>entanglement </b>of "clothes" unbelievably hard to understand, topped off with <b>shapeless, fuzzy hats</b> worthy of a carnival, without every bit of glamour, that is. Jacobs tried to compose a messy mix of fabrics, prints, colors and textures, that could only make my lips mutter a bewildered (pardon my French) <b>WTF</b>. </div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
OK, he tried to be fun, to be outrageous, to make us dream. I have to say, he has had much more glorious moments. The absolute <b>disproportion </b>of the silhouettes in this collection cannot be compared to the essentially artistic work of <b>Rei Kawakubo</b>, <b>Thom Browne</b>, or even <b>Walter van Beirendonck</b>, because the collection overall doesn't only lack a vision, but <b>coherence </b>as well. When you become famous for the way you dress women, you shouldn't just do whatever comes into your mind and expect everyone to give you a standing ovation... </div>
<span style="color: #444444;">Right now, I can only picture <b>Anna Dello Russo</b> wearing what I saw on that catwalk, and though I admire her boldness, I hardly doubt that all of MJ's clients leave home with giant cherries on their head... Am I wrong? <b>Self-derision</b> is alright. To mock the thousands of girls who'd kill for one of your dresses, not really.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>O</b></span>ui, je suis allé à Amsterdam. J'en pouvais plus de Paris, et j'étais sûr qu'un petit séjour dans une ville sympa comme la capitale des Pays-Bas allait me changer un peu les idées.<br />
Mais ce qui va vraiment changer, à mon retour à Paris, c'est ma garde-robe.<br />
Tout en faisant le touriste devant les peintures magnifiques du Van Gogh Museum, ou des somptueux couloirs d'une ancienne demeure patricienne du XVIIème siècle, je scannait carrément le style vestimentaire des Amstellodamois (oui, je sais, moi aussi je préfère Amsterdamiens, mais bon...).<br />
Et, même si c'est difficile de capturer <b>l'essence résolument moderne </b>de cette ville en quelques mots, j'essaierai de définir <b>la mode hollandaise aujourd'hui</b>...<br />
<br />
<b>Mais avant, quelques photos de la capitale pour la mise en ambiance. </b><br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Y</span></b>eah, I went to Amsterdam. I couldn't stand Paris anymore, and I was sure that staying for a while in a nice, unknown city like the capital of the Netherlands would do me some good.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
But what's really going to do me good, is the massive change in my wardrobe, now I'm back in Paris.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
While playig it touristic in the Van Gogh Museum and the majestic halls of a XVIIth century patrician household, I was literally scanning the streetstyle I saw every day.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
And I can tell you that, even though it's hard defining <b>a vibrant city</b> like this one in a few words, I'll try to show you what <b>Dutch fashion</b> is like today... </div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<b>But before that, some random pictures to put you in the mood of the town.</b></div>

<b>La couleur</b>. Une caractéristique importante du style Amsterdam qui est toujours négligée à Paris (en hiver, en tout cas). Dans cette ville, on peut exprimer son état d'âme tout en roulant à 300 à l'heure sur son vélo. <b>L'image reste, le message passe.</b><br />

Pendant que je cherchais un point de vente de l'excellente marque suédoise <a href="http://www.minimarket.se/">Minimarket</a>, je suis tombé sur une boutique, assez éloignée du centre-ville, fan-tas-tique. Décor minimaliste, l<b>es vêtements font passer le message</b>. On ne peut pas s'empêcher de penser à <b>Urban Outfitters</b>, avec toute cette maille jacquard, ces derbys en daim et ces belles chemises imprimées... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Placée sur dans une rue au nom imprononçable, ce lieu discret abrite désormais la plupart de mes fantasmes en matière de mode amstellodamoise. Je vous invite vivement à y passer: la gamme de couleurs résume, à elle toute seule, <b>le chic d'Amsterdam.</b></div>

Minimalist setting; <b>the clothes do the talking</b>. One cannot avoid thinking of <b>Urban Outfitters</b>, with all these knitted cardigans, the leather desert boots and the gorgeous printed shirts...</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444; text-align: justify;">
Situated in a street (whose name is just impossible to pronounce), this stylish boutique is now the place where all my Amsterdam fashion fantasies are, neatly folded on white shelves or displayed on metal staircases. I really urge you to go there, people. I can hardly assure you that I would've been able to understand Dutch trends without visiting that place.</div>

<i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>S</b></span>i vous ne savez pas ce
qu'est le <b>Quartier Rouge </b>(appelé <b>De Wallen</b>) de la ville, il s'agit
de la zone, dans le coeur d'Amsterdam, où d'exotiques
péripatéticiennes exhibent leur marchandise derrière des vitrines
éclairées pour l'occasion. Mais bien que, comme chacun sait, la
prostitution soit un métier aussi respectable que la boulangerie aux
Pays-Bas, <b>un phénomène est en train de changer ce quartier
sulfureux: </b></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>la mode.</b></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-style: normal;"> Le <a href="http://www.redlightfashionamsterdam.com/">Red
Light Fashion</a> est un projet visant à donner une nouvelle
identité à De Wallen: celle du <b>centre de la jeune création de mode
hollandaise.</b></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-style: normal;">Naturellement, il existe déjà
un quartier de la mode à Amsterdam: il se trouve près du
Museumplein, c'est-à-dire à deux pas du Rijksmuseum et du Musée
Van Gogh.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-style: normal;">Mais<b> Hoofstraat</b>, la rue où
se côtoient les <b>grandes enseignes de luxe </b>comme Chanel, Prada et
Vuitton, se trouve bien loin du centre-ville et a une clientèle bien
trop élitiste pour satisfaire la <b>nouvelle communauté de modeurs</b> qui
réclament une approche plus originale (pour ne pas dire, nationale)
de la scène fashion amstellodamoise.</span></i><br />

you don't know what the city's <b>Red Light District</b> (<b>De Wallen</b> for the
Dutch) is, let me break it up to you: we're talking about the area,
in the heart of Amsterdam, where exotic girls of pleasure sell their
goods behind dim-lit shop windows. But even if everyone knows that
prostitution is as common in this town as your next-door Chinese
restaurant, <b>something is changing this steamy part of the city:
fashion. </b></span></i></div>
<div style="color: #444444; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-style: normal;">The <a href="http://www.redlightfashionamsterdam.com/">Red
Light Fashion</a> project plans to give a new identity to this
historic centre: <b>a trendy, chic spot where young and talented
designers will build what will become one of the most edgy capitals
in Europe.</b></span></i></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<i><span style="font-style: normal;">Obviously, there was already
a fashion district in Amsterdam: it's located near Museumplein, a
5-minute walk away from the Rijksmueum and the Van Gogh Museum.</span></i></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<i><span style="font-style: normal;">But <b>Hoofstraat</b>, the street
where you can find all the major international luxury brands like
Chanel, Prada and Vuitton, is fairly far from the city centre and has
way too elitist, high-class customers to suit the tastes of the<b> new
generation of fashion-junkies</b> (Amsterdam pun intended), who claim
that the city needs a place where foreigners can find out what Dutch
fashion is all about.</span></i></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>T</b></span>hat's it, there were lots of reasons to cry this morning at <b>Balenciaga</b> (the dismay felt by the fashion crowd when realizing that the benches weren't solid enough to hold even Vanessa Traina's weight), but none greater than the sighting of the fantastic collection our dear <b>Nicolas Ghesquière</b> has prepared for next summer.<br />
Yeah, I know, we've seen the color-blocking trend everywhere this summer, but this is <b>not just any color-blocking number</b>.<br />
Ghesquière presented a square-shaped series of satin jackets, with attractive layering and even more compelling color contrasts featuring <b>metallic tones</b>: silver, copper and dashes of gold.<br />
Although the Gauguin-esque prints didn't convince me very much, something else did: the <b>small shorts</b>, a major highlight of the show. Accessories didn't stand out much, but neat color-patching and lovely cigarette pants were both aesthetically appealing, as well as a nice little touch: OVNI hats.<br />
<br />
<b>A standing ovation for Nicolas? In any case, there was no choice.</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange;">____________________________________________________</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>I</b></span>l y avait plusieurs raisons de pleurer chez <b>Balenciaga </b>ce matin (la détresse causée par des bancs pas assez solides, pas même pour le poids-plume de Vanessa Traina), mais aucune plus excusable que celle de la beauté contemporaine de cette collection signée <b>Nicolas Ghesquière</b> pour le printemps/été 2012.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Oui, je sais, on a déjà vu pas mal de tendance color-blocking ces derniers mois ensoleillés, mais celui-ci n'est <b>pas n'importe quel color-blocking</b>. Le créateur a présenté une série de vestes aux lignes carrées et à la surface reluisante, jouant avec les couches et les contrastes de couleur convaincants. On a vu apparaître notamment des <b>tons métalliques</b> telles que l'argent, le cuivre et des détails dorés.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Même si les motifs à la Gauguin ne m'ont pas vraiment intéressé, la variété de <b>hot pants</b> était plaisante à regarder, et a largement prédominé dans la collection. Les accessoires n'attiraient pas plus d'attention que ça, mais le<b> look rapiécé-clean</b> moderniste et les pantalons cigarette vont très probablement faire de nombreux fans...oserez-vous le chapeau OVNI?</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<b style="color: #444444;">Une ovation debout pour Nicolas? En tout cas, on n'a pas vraiment le choix.</b><br />

<br />
For instance, a fresh scoop: <b>Carine Roitfeld</b>, Vogue France ex-editor-in-chief and Barney's New York latest style consultant, <a href="http://fashion.elle.com/fashion/insider/2011/09/28/carine-roitfeld-is-starting-a-new-magazine/">plans on creating her own magazine</a>. According to Elle US, Madame Roitfeld shouldn't take long to be back on track in the editorial fashion scene.<br />
<br />
Then, we have the shows. Let's talk about the best... and the worst.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span>HE <span style="font-size: x-large;">B</span>EST </b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>D</b></span><b>ries Van Noten</b> was the most beautiful Paris collection so far. The Belgian designer gave us a delightfully chic array of heavenly <b>photographic prints</b>, both in black and white and in bright pinches of color, evoking what we probably love the most about summer: <b>vacations</b>.<br />
This, and the architectural cuts, perfectly balanced shades of black, white and grey with refreshing tones of cerulean and dark orange, as well as the simple but oh-so-effective circus sign and city lights <b>graphic references</b>, summed up in a very contemporary elegance generally unseen in the previous SS2012 shows.<br />
And, as you all certainly know by now, graphic-chic will most likely be <b>THE trend of next summer</b>.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">
___________________________________________________</div>
<br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
Nous voilà.<b> Le deuxième jour </b>de la Semaine de la Mode parisienne vient de passer et il y a déjà beaucoup à discuter.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Comme par exemple, un scoop très récent: <b>Carine Roitfeld</b>, qui a quitté la direction éditoriale du Vogue français en beauté au début de l'année avec une collaboration avec Barney's New York réussie, <a href="http://fashion.elle.com/fashion/insider/2011/09/28/carine-roitfeld-is-starting-a-new-magazine/">a l'intention de créer son propre magazine</a>. D'après le Elle américan, notre chère Carine ne devrait pas tarder à réintégrer la scène éditorial fashion...</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Puis nous avons les défilés. Parlons du meilleur...et du pire.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">L</span><span style="font-size: large;">e</span> <span style="font-size: x-large;">M</span><span style="font-size: large;">eilleur</span></b></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">D</span>ries Van Noten</b> signe la plus belle collection parisienne du moment. Le créateur belge nous offre une diversité harmonieuse de <b>motifs photographiques</b>, nous rappelant ce que nous aimons sans doute le plus quand l'on pense à l'été: les vacances.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Non seulement on se régale devant l'équilibre parfait du noir, blanc et gris avec l'orange sombre, les tons verts-palmier et le bleu céruléen, mais il est difficile de ne pas applaudir les structures minimalistes et tellement attirantes qui ont fait du défilé DVN l'un des plus contemporains et intéressants, en matière d'<b>originalité</b>, du Printemps/Été 2012. </div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Préparez-vous, car le <b>graphic-chic</b> <b>sera LA tendance de la saison à venir</b>...</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>I</b></span> was utterly shocked by the <strike>ugliness</strike> <b>outdated aesthetics</b> of the <b>Rochas </b>collection. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Apparently, Marco Zanini was informed that there was this whole <b>Sixties trend </b>going on, inspired by the</span><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: small;">successful (and excellent) American TV show, Mad Men. The only little flaw in the designer's plan is that he seemed to realize this... a year after the end of the aforementioned trend. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">And as a consequence, he <b>mistook 2011 for 1963</b>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sadly for him, instead of making the viewers forget about the has-been theme of the show, the clothes showed on the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild runway were so <b>obsoletely conceived</b> that they even sparked in some of us the regret of the 50's-60's madness that took the fashion world by storm in 2010 altogether.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">This show</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> not being Zanini's first Rochas disaster, the <b>decadent fashion house </b>might have to consider looking for another Creative Director soon, before the ghost of recently deceased Hélène Rochas rises from the grave to restore the <b>classic Rive Gauche elegance</b> that ch-aracterized the brand for decades.</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #444444; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Apparemment, Marco Zanini a été informé que toute une <b>tendance Sixties</b> influençait la mode, inspirée par le succès de l'excellente série télévisée américaine <b>Mad Men</b>. Le seul petit problème dans le plan du créateur est qu'il paraît avoir compris cela...un an après la fin de cette tendance. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Malheureusement pour lui, au lieu de faire oublier aux spectateurs le thème déjà obsolet de la collection, Zanini a carrément déclenché le regret de la manie Fifties-Sixties qui s'est emparée du monde fashion de 2009 à 2010.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ce défilé n'étant pas la première déception de Zanini pour Rochas, la <b>maison de mode décadente </b>ferait mieux de commencer la recherche d'un autre Directeur Artistique bientôt, avant que le fantôme de la récemment décédée Hélène Rochas émerge de sa tombe pour rétablir <b>l'élégance Rive Gauche classique </b>qui caractérisa la marque pendant des décennies. </span></span></div>

And now I know: <b>The Styllustrator will remain The Styllustrator</b>, but the illustration will change: less graphical personal works and more reviews, critiques and comments on the international fashion scene.<br />
This is what I do best and I hope you like what I've planned this year. <br />

<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>B</b></span>eaucoup de choses se passent dernièrement, et si j'ai décidé de ressusciter le blog après plus de 3 mois d'absence, c'est parce que j'ai bien réfléchi sur ce dont je veux vraiment parler.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Et à présent, je le sais: <b>The Styllustrator restera The Styllustrator</b>, mais la manière d'illustrer changera; moins de travaux graphiques personnels et plus de critiques et commentaires sur la scène mode international.</div>

C'est ce que je fais le mieux et j'espère que vous aimerez ce que j'ai préparé cette année.</div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>S</b>o we've all spotted the general trends for next summer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>New York</b> took us for a ride of pure sport-chic lightness with some edgy ethnic details here and there (please don't bring back tribal fashion, happened only 2 years ago).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>London </b>showed bright yellow, blank white more ethnic patterns sharp cuts more than soft and curvy flowing dresses.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Milan </b>poured a little bit of everything in the mix (as always) and we saw as much minimalism as colorful extravaganzas, but generally next season will be more about being sweet and color-bold than just plain sexy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">And now <b>Paris</b>, my town. Many things to look forward to:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>1</b></span>. We shall see if July's <b>Dior Couture fiasco</b> will repeat itself in the form of a messy, scrapbook-ey ready-to-wear.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2</b></span>. We'll get to know <b>many new designers</b> who'll try to show us what they're capable of now that they passed the Fédération Française du Prêt-à-Porter's test.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>3</b></span>. We'll probably find out if Raf Simons IS <b>replacing Stefano Pilati</b> at YSL.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>4</b></span>. We'll witness <b>Olivier Rousteing's debut </b>as CD of Balmain, and see if he can make us forget Decarnin's first successful, then decadent influence on the fashion house.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5</b></span>. We'll confirm that Manish Arora can actually adapt <b>Paco Rabanne's legacy</b> to the 2010's</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>6</b></span>. We may or may not discover<b> Kanye West</b>'s first and exclusively showcased collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>7</b></span>. We'll finally appreciate <b>Guillaume Henry's true style</b> (what he sketches when he's not at Carven) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>8</b></span>. We'll decide whether to regret <b>Antonio Marras' departure from Kenzo</b> or embrace the Leon-Lim duo's fashion point of view. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>9</b></span>. We'll not be disappointed (we never are, anyway) by Karl Lagerfeld's new breathtaking giant installation for the <b>Chanel show at the Grand Palais</b>.<b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>10</b></span>. We'll know what<b> Riccardo Tisci</b> designed for Givenchy next season and that is always a </span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>MUST</b>.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>See? Paris will likely be the most interesting fashion week of them all, people.</b></i><br />
<i><b>So brace yourselves and enjoy the party...</b></i><br />

<br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>A</b><span style="font-size: small;">lors on a tous repéré les tendances en général pour l'été prochain.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>New York</b> nous a proposé une légèreté très sport chic avec quelques détails ethniques par-ci par-là (s'il vous plaît, pas le retour de la mode tribale, on a eu ça il y a que deux ans).</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Londres </b>a montré du jaune canari (un hommage aux préférences de Sa Majesté?), pas mal de blanc</span></span>e et plus de motifs ethniques. Oubliez les silhouettes douces et les jolies courbes, et optez pour des coupes anguleuses.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<b>Milan </b>a ajouté un peu de tout dans le mélange (comme toujours) et on a vu tant de minimalisme que d'extravagances chatoyantes, mais grosso modo, l'été prochain favorisera celles qui oseront la couleur et les petites robes flottantes plutôt que celles qui fonceront sur le sexy.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Et maintenant <b>Paris</b>, ma ville. On s'attend à de nombreuses surprises:</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>1</b></span>. On verra si le<b> fiasco Dior </b>Haute Couture de juillet se répètera dans la forme d'un prêt-à-porter incohérent et exécuté à la manière d'un livre de découpages pour enfants.</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2</b></span>. On connaîtra<b> les nombreux nouveaux créateurs </b>qui essayeront de nous montrer ce dont ils sont capables maintenant qu'ils ont passé le rigoureux examen de la Fédération Française du Prêt-à-Porter.</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>3</b></span>. On saura probablement SI Raf Simons<b> remplace Stefano Pilati</b> chez Yves Saint Laurent ou pas.</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>4</b></span>. On observera de près la <b>première collection d'Olivier Rousteing</b> pour Balmain, et on verra s'il nous fait oublier l'influence, d'abord réussie, ensuite décadente de Christophe Decarnin sur la maison.</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5</b></span>. On confirmera que Manish Arora est effectivement capable d'adapter <b>l'héritage de Paco Rabanne</b> aux années 2010.</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>6</b></span>. On découvrira (ou pas) la première collection signée <b>Kanye West</b>, exclusivement dévoilée. </span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>7</b></span>. On appréciera finalement <b>le style authentique de Guillaume Henry</b>, et ce qu'il dessine quand il n'est pas chez Carven.</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>8</b></span>. On décidera si on doit regretter<b> le départ d'Antonio Marras de Kenzo</b> ou applaudir le point de vue esthétique du duo Leon-Lim.</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>9</b></span>. On ne sera pas déçus (on ne l'est jamais, d'ailleurs) par la nouvelle<b> installation géante de Karl Lagerfeld </b>au Grand Palais, à l'occasion du défilé Chanel.</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>10</b></span>. On apprendra ce que Riccardo Tisci a préparé pour le printemps 2012 chez Givenchy, et ça, c'est toujours un <span style="font-size: large;"><b>MUST</b></span>.</span></div>

<a href="http://onedayinapril.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/versace-for-hm-logo.jpg?w=490&h=321" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="http://onedayinapril.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/versace-for-hm-logo.jpg?w=490&h=321" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Alors, c'est officiel! <span style="font-size: large;"><b>H&M</b></span>, qui nous avait fait cadeau d'une collection Lanvin dessinée par Alber Elbaz en novembre dernier (j'ai flashé sur un blazer bleu marine ma-gni-fique), nous prépare à sa collaboration créative suivante: <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Versace</b></span>!!! Cette chère Donatella s'est avouée heureuse de pouvoir toucher un public plus large en livrant à la chaîne de grands magasins non pas une collection, mais DEUX! Une pour l'hiver (17 nov. 2011), et une autre plutôt<i> pre-summer</i> (Jan. 2012)...<br />
La grande question à présent est: <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>à quoi s'attendre?</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Donatella </b></span>a déclaré dans une vidéo promotionnelle (regardez en bas) qu'elle espérait mélanger des <b>classiques </b>de Versace (ce qui veut dire qu'elle reprendra l'héritage de Gianni, son frère défunt, fondateur de la marque), et l'identité de la maison aujourd'hui. D'un côté, nous avons donc les célèbres<b> imprimés baroques</b>, les vestes en <b>cuir clouté</b> super <i>sharp </i>et les couleurs <b>néon</b>. De l'autre, une silhouette longue et fine, des <b>drapés </b>flatteurs, des talons vertigineux et des décolletés <b>sexy </b>(les plus hot de la mode aujourd'hui à mon avis).<br />
Pour les hommes: des couleurs fluo, des blazers classiques mais bien coupés, et sûrement des beaux <b>foulards imprimés</b> aussi...<br />
Alors voici mes impressions sur le papier: beaucoup de <b>petites robes cocktail </b>avec quelques pièces en <b>cuir</b>, sans oublier la couleur et le <b>jeu des formes</b> sur le corps!<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
So it's official! <span style="font-size: large;"><b>H&M</b></span>, who granted us a Lanvin collection designed by Alber Elbaz in november (I got a gorgeous dark-blue blazer, BTW), prepares us for its next creative collaboration: <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Versace</b></span>!!! Our dear Donatella admitted she was glad to be able to reach a larger public by giving to H&M not just one collection, but TWO! One for winter (17 nov. 2011), and another one more of the pre-summer kind (Jan. 2012)...</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
The big question now is: <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>what to expect?</b></span></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Donatella </b></span>Versace declared in the promo video (scroll down to watch it) that she intends to mix Versace <b>classics </b>(which means she'll<b> </b>be going through her late brother and the brand creator's legacy) and the identity of the fashion house today. On one side, we have the famous<b> Baroque prints, </b>the sharp<b> studded leather jackets</b> and the neon <b>color-blocking</b>. On the other side, we have a long and very feminine silhouette, flattering <b>drapings</b>, towering heels and <b>sexy </b>hemlines (the hottest in fashion today, I think!).</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
For us guys: color-blocking too, classic, well-cut blazers, and I'm hoping for cute <b>printed scarves</b> too...</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
So here are my predictions on paper: lots of<b> little cocktail dresses</b>, some leather garments, tight pants and <b>playful shapes</b> on the body too: mostly colorful, of course...</div>
<br />
<div style="color: #666666;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
Entonces es oficial! <span style="font-size: large;"><b>H&M</b></span>, quien nos concedio una coleccion con Lanvin disenada por Alber Elbaz en noviembre 2010 (me llevé un blazer bellisimo) nos prepara para su proxima gran colaboracion creativa: <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Versace</b></span>!!! Esta querida Donatella admitio estar feliz de poder satisfacer un publico mas amplio brindando a la cadena de tiendas no solo una coleccion, pero DOS! Una para el invierno (17 de nov. 2011) y luego otra mas<i> pre-summer</i> (ene. 2012)...</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
La gran pregunta ahora es: <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>a qué esperarse? </b></span></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Donatella </b></span>Versace declaro en el video promocional (mirenlo abajo) que planeaba combinar el estilo <b>clasico </b>de la casa italiana (lo que significa que revivira el legado de su hermano difunto y creador de la marca: Gianni) con la identidad de la marca hoy. Por un lado, tenemos los famosos<b> estampados barrocos</b>, las <b>chaquetas de cuero claveteadas</b> <i>sharp</i> y colores <b>neon</b>. Por otro lado, tenemos una silueta longuilinea y femenina, <b>drapeados </b>aduladores, tacones altisimos y escotes <b><i>sexys </i></b>(los mas hot de la moda hoy, creo yo!)...</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
Para los hombres: <i>color-blocking</i> también, blazers clasicos bien cortados, y <b>fulares estampados</b> también...</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
Asi que aqui estan algunas de mis predicciones ilustradas: muchos <b>mini-vestidos de cocktail</b>, algunas piezas de cuero, pantalones ajustados y<b> lineas juguetonas</b> en el cuerpo también: casi todo en color, claro esta...</div>
<br />
<br />
Les seules photos officielles de la collection dévoilées pour le moment...<br />

Tout le monde connaît l'exceptionnelle maison de pâtisserie de luxe française <b><span style="font-size: large;">Ladurée</span></b>. Sans parler de la marque de mode italienne qui fait la joie des magazines ce printemps avec ses rayures fluo et ses jupes imprimées "banane". Et si on sait que Ladurée a déjà collaboré avec <b>Louboutin</b>, <b>Lacroix</b>, <b>Marni </b>et même <b>Galliano </b>pour la créations des macarons les plus trendy du monde, <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prada</b></span> n'est pas le genre de compagnie à mettre les mains à la pâte. C'est pour cela que j'ai imaginé <b>Improbable Collaborations</b>, une série d'illustrations que je dévoilerai périodiquement, et dont le concept est simple: unir une marque de mode de luxe prestigieuse avec des produits plus commerciaux mais jamais démodés...</div>
<br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
Todo el mundo conoce la excepcional casa de pasteleria de lujo francesa <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ladurée</b></span>. . Sin mencionar la marca de moda italiana que invade las paginas de las revistas esta temporada con sus rayas neon y sus faldas estampadas con bananas. Y si sabemos que Ladurée ya ha colaborado con <b>Louboutin</b>, <b>Lacroix</b>, <b>Marni </b>y hasta <b>Galliano </b>para la creacion de los macarons mas trendy del mundo, <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prada </b></span>no es el tipo de empresa que pone las manos a la masa. Es por eso que imaginé <b>Improbable Collaborations</b>, una serie de ilustraciones que publicaré periodicamente, y cuyo concepto es simple: unir una marca de moda de lujo prestigiosa con productos mas comerciales pero jamas pasados de moda...</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">

<div style="color: #ffe599;">
<div style="color: #666666;">
Everybody knows the exceptional French luxury pastry house <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ladurée</b></span>. Without mentioning the Italian fashion brand whose latest collection landed 48 magazine covers this spring with its color-block stripes and banana-printed skirts. And though we know that Ladurée has already had collaborations with <span style="font-size: small;"><b>Louboutin</b></span>, <b>Lacroix</b>, <b>Marni </b>and even <b>Galliano </b>for the creation of the world's trendiest macarons, <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Prada </b></span>is not the kind of company you see with the hands in the dough. It's for this I imagined <b>Improbable Collaborations</b>, a series of illustrations I will publish periodically, and whose concept is simple: to unite a prestigious luxury fashion house with more commercial but not less stylish products...</div>

Après le scandale qui a causé son licenciement de <b><span style="font-size: large;">Dior</span></b> en début mars, le siège du DA de la maison est vide. Mais ses éventuels occupants, tous trois hommes, parisiens, et acclamés par la presse, sont bien présents. Et les spéculations cherchant à deviner l'identité du prochain artiste chargé de faire honneur à l'<span style="font-size: large;"><b>héritage</b></span> de Monsieur Dior se font de plus en plus farfelues. Tandis que certains disent Theyskens (qui a laissé Nina Ricci l'année dernière), d'autres vont jusqu'à mentionner Carine Roitfeld, Marc Jacobs et Hedi Slimane...entre autres.<br />
Mais j'ai relevé les <span style="font-size: large;"><b>trois créateurs</b></span> les plus susceptibles de décrocher le job (d'après la presse) et je me suis demandé comment chacun d'entre eux verrait la<span style="font-size: large;"><b> femme Dior</b></span>...<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
Bueno, todo el mundo lo sabe. Después del escándalo que causó su despido de<b><span style="font-size: large;"> Dior</span></b> a principios de marzo, el puesto de DA de la casa esta vacío. Pero sus eventuales ocupantes, los tres hombres, parisienses, y aclamados por la prensa, estan bien presentes. Y las especulaciones buscando conocer la identidad del proximo artista encargado de honrar el<span style="font-size: large;"><b> legado</b></span> de Monsieur Dior se hacen cada vez mas descabelladas. Algunos dicen Theyskens (que dejó Nina Ricci el año pasado), y otros hasta mencionan a Carine Roitfeld, Marc Jacobs y Hedi Slimane...entre otros.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Pero decidí realzar a los<span style="font-size: large;"><b> tres creadores</b></span> que más probablemente podrían obtener el puesto (según la prensa) y me pregunté cómo cada uno vería a la <b><span style="font-size: large;">mujer Dior</span></b>...</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
Well, everybody knows it. After the scandal that caused his dismissal from the house of <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Dior</b></span> in the first days of March, the position of Creative Director is vacant. But its eventual occupiers, the three of them men, Parisian and praised by the press, are quite present. And the speculation about the identity of the next designer in charge of doing honor to Monsieur Dior's<span style="font-size: large;"><b> legacy</b></span> become more and more unlikely. Some say Theyskens (who left Nina Ricci last year), and others even mention Carine Roitfeld, Marc Jacobs and Hedi Slimane...among others.</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
But I decided to bring up the<span style="font-size: large;"><b> three designers</b></span> most likely to get the job (accoding to the press) and I wondered how each of them would perceive the<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Dior woman</b></span>...</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Avant tout, nous avons <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Alber Elbaz</b></span>. Aimé par tous pour son travail chez<b> Lanvin</b>, ses caractéristiques drapés asymétriques pourraient bien s'adapter à la silhouette ligne A de Christian Dior, vous croyez pas? <br />
<br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
Primero que todo, tenemos a <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Alber Elbaz</b></span>. Querido por todos por su trabajo en <b>Lanvin</b>, sus característicos drapeados asimétricos podrían adaptarse a la silueta de línea A de Christian Dior perfectamente, no lo creen?</div>
<br />
<div style="color: #666666;">
First of all, we have <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Alber Elbaz</b></span>. Loved by everyone for his work at <b>Lanvin</b>, his characteristical one-shouldered drapés would suit Christian Dior's A-line silhouette just fine, don't you think?</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GuhrsPBGW2w/TbyU9F3mo0I/AAAAAAAAAGo/7v4KJy7juCA/s1600/Image+%252819%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GuhrsPBGW2w/TbyU9F3mo0I/AAAAAAAAAGo/7v4KJy7juCA/s640/Image+%252819%2529.jpg" width="460" /></a></div>
<br />
Puis on soupçonne aussi <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Haider Ackermann</b></span>, créateur d'origine colombienne de plus en plus connu dans le panorama de la mode française pour la beauté éthérée de ses <b>femmes-amazones</b>... Étant le seul des candidats à travailler pour sa propre marque, il a toutes les chances de devenir le prochain Galliano...<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
Y también se sospecha de <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Haider Ackermann</b></span>, creador de origen colombiano cada vez más conocido en el panorama de la moda francesa por la belleza etérea de sus <b>mujeres-amazonas</b>... Siendo el único de los candidatos que trabaja para su propia marca, tiene todas las probabilidades de convertirse en el próximo Galliano...</div>
<br />
<div style="color: #666666;">
Then, the fashion world also considers <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Haider Ackermann</b></span>, Colombian-born designer getting famous in the French fashion scene for the ethereal beauty of his <b>Amazons</b>... Being the only candidate working for his own brand, he has all the probabilities of becoming the next Galliano...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fag4M32Mio0/TbyYgj-rB6I/AAAAAAAAAGs/7UvyoV632Ps/s1600/Image+%252820%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fag4M32Mio0/TbyYgj-rB6I/AAAAAAAAAGs/7UvyoV632Ps/s640/Image+%252820%2529.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
Et finalement, <b><span style="font-size: large;">Riccardo Tisci</span></b>. J'avoue que c'est un de mes créateurs préférés aujourd'hui. Même si ses coupes acérées et ses couleurs sombres rivalisent avec l'ultra-féminité de Dior, on entend son nom partout maintenant que la maison cherche le remplacement de Galliano, et étant encore jeune, un passage chez Dior pourrait lui forger une <b>réputation remarquable</b>...<br />
Tout de même, à mon avis, je vénère ce qu'il fait chez Givenchy, et je considère que l'image de la marque s'ajuste mieux à son style personnel...<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
Y finalmente,<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Riccardo Tisci</b></span>. Admito que es uno de mis creadores preferidos hoy en día. Aunque sus cortes afilados y sus colores oscuros rivalizan con la ultra-feminidad de Dior, se oye su nombre por todas partes ahora que se busca el remplazo de Galliano, y siendo todavía joven, un pasaje por Dior podría forjarle una <b>reputación legendaria</b>...</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Aun asi, en mi opinión, admiro lo que hace en Givenchy, y considero que la imagen de la marca se ajusta mejor a su estilo personal...</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
And finally, <b><span style="font-size: large;">Riccardo Tisci</span></b>. I admit that he's one of my favorite designers today. Even though his sharp cuts and dark colors are somehow opposed to Dior's ultra-feminity, you can hear his name everywhere now that a replacement for Galliano is needed, and, being young, a passage at Dior could make him a <b>legendary reputation</b>...</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
However, in my opinion, I admire what he does at Givenchy, and I consider that the image of the brand seems to suit better his personal style...</div>
<br />

Voilà le petit hommage que j'ai promis sur Christophe Decarnin... Découpages de sa dernière collection (printemps/été 2011) et illustration de pièces de ses deux collections phare (printemps/été 2009 et automne/hiver 2009), qui ont assuré sa place parmi les jeunes créateurs les plus en vue du monde de la mode. Decarnin avait notamment recours à plusieurs éléments de la <b>culture grunge</b>, mélangés avec des classiques du style <b>rock </b>(vestes militaires, jeans déchirés, blousons à clous, épaulettes pointues) mais réussissant toujours à garder un esprit <b>féminin </b>glamour (robes courtes à longue traîne, mini robes à paillettes, etc.) qui ont fait de ses collections unes des plus convoitées pendant longtemps.<br />

He aqui el pequeno homenaje que prometi a Christophe Decarnin... Recortes de su ultima coleccion (primavera/verano 2011) e ilustracion de prendas de sus dos colecciones mas exitosas (primavera/verano 2009 y oto<i>ñ</i>o/invierno 2009), que aseguraron su lugar entre los jovenes dise<i>ñ</i>adores mas talentosos del mundo de la moda. Decarnin se inspiraba sobre todo de elementos de la <b>cultura grunge</b>, mezclados con clasicos del estilo <b>rock</b> (chaquetas militares, jeans rasgados, blusas con clavos, hombreras puntiagudas) pero siempre logrando conservar un espiritu glamuroso y <b>femenino </b>(vestidos cortos con colas largas, minivestidos con lentejuelas, etc.) que hicieron de sus colecciones unas de las mas codiciadas durante mucho tiempo.</div>

Here's the little tribute I promised about Christophe Decarnin... Cuttings featuring his last collection (spring/summer 2011) and illustration of looks from his two most successful collections (spring/summer 2009 and fall/winter 2009), that assured his place amongst the most talented young designers in the fashion world. Decarnin got a big deal of his inspiration from elements of <b>grunge culture</b> mixed with <b>rock</b>-style classics (military jackets, ripped jeans, studded blouses, sharp shoulderpads) but always sticking with a glamorous <b>feminine </b>spirit (short dresses with long trains, sequined minidresses, etc.) that made his pieces must-haves for a long time.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">E</span></b>n effet. Le buzz de la semaine? Les maisons <b>Christian Louboutin</b> et <b>Yves Saint Laurent</b> se disputent la signature symbolique du chausseur français: <b>la semelle <span style="color: red;">rouge</span></b>. Depuis 1992, le célèbre créateur de chaussures ne se passe pas de cette marque distinctive et apparemment <b>brevetée</b> aux États-Unis, mais la maison YSL ayant récemment produit une collection d'escarpins à la semelle rouge malgré<b> l'avertissement</b> de Louboutin, cette dernière a décidé de <b>porter plainte</b> devant le tribunal de Manhattan en exigeant <b>1 million de dollars</b> en dédommagements. Les prétextes? "<b>Violation</b> de marque commerciale" et "concurrence déloyale". De quoi en plus encourager la création d'un site Internet ou on peut voir, entre autres, une liste publique des adresses web vendant des <b>faux escarpins</b> Louboutin:<br />
<a href="http://www.stopfakelouboutin.com/">http://www.stopfakelouboutin.com/</a><br />
<br />
Tout ça sans mentionner le fait que Louboutin essaye également de piétiner <b>Carmen Steffens</b>, créatrice brésilienne dont les chaussures ont aussi les semelles rouges, mais produites depuis avant que le chausseur s'y intéresse. La preuve? Des <b>catalogues datant de 1996</b>. Tiens, tiens...<br />
Comment se terminera l'affaire? Louboutin peut-il vraiment se livrer à une guerre contre non seulement un géant du luxe tel que YSL, mais aussi une pratique répandue dans le monde entier: la <b>contrefaçon</b>? En tout cas, son site <b>Stop Fake</b> nous tient gentiment informés de la <b>destruction massive</b> de milliers de fausses paires de chaussures à la semelle rouge aux quatre coins de la planète.<br />

Desde 1992, el famoso creador de zapatos no se pasa de esta marca distintiva y aparentemente </span><b style="color: #444444;">patentada </b><span style="color: #444444;">en los Estados Unidos, pero la casa YSL habiendo recientemente producido una coleccion de stilettos de suela roja a pesar de la</span><b style="color: #444444;"> advertencia</b><span style="color: #444444;"> de Louboutin, ésta ultima decidio </span><b style="color: #444444;">demandar </b><span style="color: #444444;">a la marca frente al tribunal de Manhattan, exigiendo </span><b style="color: #444444;">1 millon de dolares </b><span style="color: #444444;">por indemnizacion. La justificacion? "</span><b style="color: #444444;">Violacion</b><span style="color: #444444;"> de marca comercial" y "concurrencia desleal". Suficiente para ademas provocar la creacion de un sitio Internet donde se puede ver, entre otras cosas, una lista publica de sitios Web vendiendo </span><b style="color: #444444;">falsos Louboutin</b><span style="color: #444444;">:</span></div>
<div style="color: #d5a6bd;">
<a href="http://www.stopfakelouboutin.com/">http://www.stopfakelouboutin.com/</a></div>
<div style="color: #d5a6bd;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Todo esto sin mencionar el hecho de que Louboutin intenta igualmente aplastar a <b>Carmen Steffens</b>, creadora brasilena de calzado con suela roja, pero al parecer producidas antes de que a Louboutin se le ocurriera la idea. La prueba? <b>Catalogos que datan de 1996</b>. Qué tal?</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Como acabara todo esto? Louboutin puede realmente declararle la guerra, no solamente a un gigante del lujo como YSL, sino también a una practica propagada en el mundo entero: la <b>falsificacion</b>? En todo caso, su sitio<b> Stop Fake</b> nos tiene simpaticamente informados de la <b>destruccion masiva </b>de miles de falsos pares de zapatos con suela roja a través el mundo entero.</div>
<div style="color: #b45f06;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #f9cb9c;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;"><b>E</b></span><span style="color: #666666;">ffectively. This week's event?</span><b style="color: #666666;"> Christian Louboutin </b><span style="color: #666666;">and </span><b style="color: #666666;">Yves Saint Laurent</b><span style="color: #666666;"> are fighting each other, claiming the right of the French shoemaker's symbolic trademark: the</span><b> <span style="color: red;">red</span><span style="color: #666666;"> sole</span></b><span style="color: #666666;">. Since 1992, the famous stiletto designer doesn't do without this distinctive characteristic, apparently </span><b style="color: #666666;">patented </b><span style="color: #666666;">in the USA, but YSL having recently produced a collection featuring red-soled shoes despite Louboutin's </span><b style="color: #666666;">warning</b><span style="color: #666666;">, the latter decided to </span><b style="color: #666666;">sue </b><span style="color: #666666;">the luxury giant to the court of Manhattan, demanding </span><b style="color: #666666;">1 million dollars</b><span style="color: #666666;"> in damages. The excuse for this? "Commercial trademark </span><b style="color: #666666;">violation</b><span style="color: #666666;">" and "disloyal competition". Enough to push the shoemaker to create a blog where, among other things, a public list of </span><b style="color: #666666;">false Louboutins-</b><span style="color: #666666;">selling websites can be consulted:</span></div>
<div style="color: #f9cb9c;">
<a href="http://www.stopfakelouboutin.com/">http://www.stopfakelouboutin.com/</a></div>
<div style="color: #f9cb9c;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
All this goes without mentioning the fact that Louboutin is also trying to stamp its shoe on <b>Carmen Steffens</b>, a Brazilian designer, who features red-soled shoes in her collection as well, but according to her, she started producing these before Louboutin got interested by the whole idea. The proof?<b> Catalogs dating from 1996</b>. Well, well...</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
How will all this end? Can Louboutin actually go against not only a big company like YSL, but also a practice spread throughout the entire world: <b>fashion forgery</b>? In any case, his <b>Stop Fake </b>website keeps us nicely informed of the <b>massive destruction</b> of thousands of fake Louboutins around the planet.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Christophe Decarnin</b>: "I'm following Carine and John... It's chic to storm out!"</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> M</b></span>ais qu'est-ce qui se passe en 2011???<br />
<br />
Non seulement <b>Carine Roitfeld</b> laisse le Vogue France, vite remplacée par Emmanuelle Alt, mais <b>John Galliano</b> se fait virer brutalement de Dior, suivi d'un scandale dont les proportions auraient été impossibles à concevoir l'année dernière. Et maintenant, c'est le tour de <b>Christophe Decarnin</b>, chez Balmain.<br />
Il paraît que, suite à des désaccords entre le créateur et le PDG de Balmain Alain Hivelin, le rebelle par excellence, qui a enflammé les magazines de mode avec ses vestes militaires à épaulettes et son style nocturne sexy il y a deux ans, a lui aussi rejoint les rangs des <b>déchus de 2011</b>.<br />
Cette vérité est alternée aussi par des propos du prétendu mauvais état de santé de Decarnin, qui ne put pas sortir saluer le public à la fin de son dernier défilé à Paris, en début mars. <b>Decarnin dépressif?</b><br />
<br />
Tout de même, son travail pour Balmain a été admirable, et nous avons intérêt à ne pas le perdre de vue, comme dans le cas Galliano. Je lui rendrais hommage bientôt avec une série d'illustrations sur la modernité créative de son style, et la véritable explosion médiatique qui en est le résultat, fascinée par ses tenues <b>rock n' roll</b> et malgré tout<b> so années 2000</b>...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #444444;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>P</b></span>ero qué es lo que pasa en 2011???</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<i><br />
</i></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
No solamente <b>Carine Roitfeld </b>deja el Vogue francés, rapidamente remplazada por Emmanuelle Alt, pero <b>John Galliano</b> es brutalmente despedido de Dior, seguido de un escandalo cuyas proporciones hubiera sido imposible adivinar el año pasado. Y ahora, es el turno de <b>Christophe Decarnin</b>, en Balmain. Tal parece que, consecuencia de los desacuerdos entre el diseñador y el director ejecutivo de Balmain Alain Hivelin, el rebelde por excelencia, que invadio las revistas de moda con sus chaquetas militares con hombreras y su sexy estilo nocturno hace dos años, también se ha unido a <b>los caidos de 2011</b>.</div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Esta realidad es alternada con declaraciones del supuesto mal estado de salud de Decarnin, que no habia podido presentarse en el ultimo desfile de la casa hace un mes. <b>Decarnin depresivo?</b></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #444444;">
Aun asi, su trabajo para Balmain ha sido admirable, y nos conviene no perderlo de vista, como en el caso Galliano. Le rendiré homenaje pronto con una serie de ilustraciones sobre la modernidad de su estilo y la explosiva atencion mediatica que fue el resultado, fascinada por sus creaciones rock n' roll y al mismo tiempo <b>tan años 2000</b>...</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #666666;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>W</b></span>hat the hell's wrong with 2011???</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
Not only <b>Carine Roitfeld</b> leaves French Vogue, quickly replaced by Emmanuelle Alt, but <b>John Galliano</b> is brutally fired from Dior, followed by a scandal with proportions no one could've anticipated last year. And now's the turn of <b>Christophe Decarnin</b>, at Balmain. Apparently, as consequences of the disagreements between the designer and the brand's CEO, the fashion rebel that took over so many fashion magazines and celebrities' closets with his bold-shouldered military jackets and supersexy nightlife style two years ago, has joined the fallen of 2011.</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
This reality is alternated by declarations about Decarnin's supposed bad health, who wouldn't attend his own fall/winter Parisian fashion show a month ago. <b>Deppresive Decarnin?</b></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
However, his work at Balmain has been admirable, and we better not forget him, as in Galliano's case. I'm paying him tribute soon with a series of illustrations summarizing the modernity of his style and the explosive media attention that was the result, fascinated by his<b> rock n' roll outfits</b>, and yet <b>so 2000</b>...</div>
