After the very polished and feminine Day 4, on Day 5 we are brought to a totally different fashion universe where fabrics and inspiration are taken right from the streets with a lot inspiration from the past and the future.
Kate and Laura Mulleavy have created their own world at their Spring 2010 Fashion show. “Laura and I built this collection around the idea of a girl that spontaneously combusts and turns into a vulture,” explained Kate. “This was a transformation and we burned a lot of the collection, while the L.A. fires were happening at the same time.” It’s a baroque world mixed with tribal and goth cultures and an ongoing interest with futurism. Rodarte’s collection looked completely destroyed – aged, painted, burned, shredded etc. The models also had their arms painted with makeup to appear fit in the atmosphere and their hair wrapped in wool. The show looked spectacular after looking at the video, the decor had a war-torn landscape and models were walking through that radioactive green smoke.
For G-Star Raw’s Spring 2010 collection, Pierre Morisset again elaborates a fashion entertainment at the Hammerstein Ballroom with a parterre of celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Taylor Momsen, Jared Leto, etc. G-Star’s collection is experiments a of blend of urban style and classic tailoring inspired from the 50’s in which denim plays a major role as always by G-Star. We can see sharp jackets in navy and white, and detachable coat tails. I liked the sexy tuxedo white jumpsuit with revealing slits cut up each side.
