Satin embroidery on a top. It’s an improbable combo, since satin stitching is traditionally done on nylon and used for making veils and hats. Also, satin stitching is usually released tone on tone. By working it into pants, skirts, and tops this season, turning the perennial “black on black” into white polka dots on a jet black background in the process, Julien David is giving this most fashionable of concept stores an entirely second degree piece. The Top Résille Plumetis Colette takes the colors in the famous concept store’s logo and puts them on the polka dots of a striped nylon piece, digitally printed in Colette blue and green.
With a rounded neckline and short sleeves, it acquires all the functionality of a basic. He who earned his pedigree with Narciso Rodriguez, then later with Ralph Lauren, entered into the fashion world in 2006 through a line of smash hit foulards, sold by Colette in those days as well. In 2008 he took off for Japan; he opened his first boutique and localized his fabrication there. From this superposition of culture and savoir-faire, Julien David focuses on the details which melt into a benign fantasy concoction. His relaxed silhouettes won him the Grand Prix de l’Assocation Nationale pour le Développement des Arts de la Mode (Andam). Like a veil that perfects the look of these delicate little embroideries with a romantic allure like it’s nothing, the Top Plumetis gives fragile liberty a way to harden itself with everything that passes through your hands.
