Tsiganes, Sintés, Manouches, Gitans, Yéniches et Romanichel, la mode itinérante de @SophieTheallet, chaussée par @JMCazabat. “Un hommage pour les gens du voyage, les gens libres.” @CeciliaAttias @KellyRutherford and #GretchenMol appreciated the aesthetics of Gypsies, that of a people which has a strong cultural construction welded without the usual characteristics of a nation, language, religion or terri tory. A people that was chased and tolerated as a kind of recurrent and familiar natural calamity which proved to withst and centuries of oppression and keep living, culture, traditions and a distinct lifestyle of the world in which they live authentic. This refusal to disappear relies un doubtedly on values and a richness that can not be reduced to any sectarianism. The @SophieTheallet #AW15 was about the sense of family, community, solidarity, respect for elders, denial of conflict, adaptability and flexibility but especially thirst for free dom. These are some characters of the models showcases at the #PiersStudios: guipure laces, rich patterned brocades, leathers, copper lurex and intarsia knits, all in earth tones mixed with brights especially chocolate mixed with fuchsia. The ruffles embodied the vavoom of "Gypsy culture”. A cultural genocide can not serve as an outlet to the fears and anxieties our time. Ask #SophiaTheallet. The #Gipsy were not #Kings but #Queens today.
