JOIES D’IVRES
_

“My very first undertaking @Dior lay in grasping the spirit, so as to comprehend to what extent I could make it my own, along what horizons I could effectively operate. In this, I got a h and from my sense of determination, yet also from a series of deep affinities with Monsieur #Dior in the conception of elegance: for example, in the perception of the female silhouette, quick and sharp even when animating emphatic volumes. In the special fondness for gorgeous, noble materials. In the utmost attention to the dress’s cut and construction. In the accent forever on luxury and refinement. A singular and fortunate community of ideas – I’d say passions too – which has made my adventure quite extraordinary, this challenging endeavor infinitely enthralling. So, at Dior, for eight years I lived and breathed the lesson of the atelier: total focus on the dress in every single aspect, aggregate of various and unfailingly exceptional proficiencies. And then utmost discretion, cus tomized service. From initial sketch to final creation, Haute #couture fashions never leave the atelier. Each dress is a separate entity, with a distinct backs tory. Even each detail, each finishing touch, each seam represents a unique element in that expressly executed for the individual client on the basis of personal request and figure. This state of affairs puts the crea tor in the condition to interact closely, step by step, with the experience and expertise of his assistants. And it is here, I believe, that the true magic of couture comes through: in the sum of supreme skills of the many artisans to which the couturier must give an imprint, a direction, a sense of fulfillment, somewhat like an orchestra conduc tor on the podium…” I wish you the #Gianfranco method, the #Ferré fantasy and the #ChristianDior’s créativité. Joies d’ivres à vous, thank you for your readership. 2018 it is ?
