Minimalism and Feminine Reveries – The Paris Fashion Playground of the Look For 2010
Last week’s Paris Fashion Week would be hard to beat in terms of big news and bigger ideas. The death of Alexander McQueen shortly before the event, and the posthumous showcasing of his collection (finished by his design team) obviously positioned itself as the week’s main feature. Not surprisingly. The outfits were suitably grandiose with a rich monarchical feel, the gilt detail and religious symbolism seeming to speak of meditations on finality – all was angel wings and the scroll work of aged stone. The staggering quality and originality of these outfits made for a fitting final chapter to McQueen’s work and its impact will surely be translated into the work of designers in the more traditional field for autumn/winter 2010.
In contrast to the unabashed lavishness of McQueen’s final collection we have also seen the continued development of one of the most influential British-led trends to date: the unstoppable rise of feminine minimalism in fashion. At the spearhead of this movement are the designers Stella McCartney, Phoebe Philo and Hannah MacGibbon.
