PARIS BLOSSOM
_

Numéro 6 (sur 38). “Robe carrée de jersey ivoire, imprimée “PARIS SS18” laqué noir; sous in gr and jupon de faille rayée crème, rouge et bleu, bordé de point d’esprit assorti. (Square dress in ivory jersey with black lacquered “Paris SS18” print; worn with an ample skirt in cream, red and blue striped faille trimmed with matching point d’esprit.)”. A point d’esprit is a fine bobbinet with scattered woven dots used especially for dresses, or trimmings. Now between smoking, marinières and shirt dresses in pale pinks, blue cot tons and white milleraies stripes, as well as wide pleated track pants , flounced trenches, off-the-shoulder laced tops, pajama trousers, and gold perforated leather coat-blouses (with crystal snap closures, @AlexisMabille’s gonzesses heel- toed the runway between sport chic and haute couture parisienne. A stunning #SS18 of innovation and tradition in harmonious unity. I paused. With his impeccable couturier pedigree, what #AlexisMabille would be designing if he was at the helm of the house of @Dior (with all my utmost respect to #MariaGraziaChiuri)? His exquisite savoir-faire à la française matched his tailoring of geometric patterns, which was one of Alexis highlights tonight. Another great couturier long decades ago used opulent fabrics, and bright colors in his deceivingly simple, yet eye-teasing classical blends of modern styles: Gianfranco Ferré for #Dior. #Mabille is blossoming in to greatness, like his rip maestro peer, like his Paris.
