A memory of the flamboyant era where Elsa Schiaparelli brought surrealist art into the fashion world, the brand\u2019s new creative director enjoys using references from this apogee. With longer lines and modernized concepts, Bertrand Guyon is playing in \u201cElsa\u2019s theater\u201d. With experience at Valentino and as Hubert de Givenchy\u2019s first assistant, Bertrand Guyon is signing off on a dramatic first collection that\u2019s full of fantasy. He made Elsa\u2019s signature fuchsia color the connecting thread of his surrealist reinterpretations. And this reinterpretation can perfectly be summed up in a single topsy turvy top.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a balance between simplicity and extravagance.\u201d In fact it\u2019s an equation of modern design, traditional cuts, and fabric complexion. The Shocking Top plays with contrasts, just like surrealism plays with trompe-l\u2019oeil and dreams. The sweater becomes an ascot blouse with bouffant sleeves attached to a fur body. Pink, of course! Even better, instead of designing a couture collection doomed to be inaccessible and over-the-top, Bertrand Guyon played with bringing a more ready-to-wear, or ready-to-couture- rather, collection to the runway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
