#VALENTINES
__

‪L’émotion de retrouver feu @SoniaRykiel #YvesSaintLaurent @YSL et Gianni @Versace_official par #AndyWarhol à #NewYork @NYFW ??. Legends that sewed meaning, not mundane, and made money. Fashion is a respectable art appliqué before it becomes hypes for the sake of hype, instead designers with true savoir-couture are struggling (commercially) to offer hope to their clients, whether these clients are enslaved with tasteless wardrobe propositions or cowering in instagram e-hails of pseu do-elegance. Then you pause because #Warhol clichés of #SoniaRykiel, #Yves and #GianniVersace capture your nostalgic days not of fashion per se only but today’s meaning of seamless free dom in a fauxthenticity society. We are not free anymore. Living from one #valentineday to the next missing a true elite of designers who devote their lives to one style affecting our skin palate, educating our eye renaissance. Marketing manipulation to make you buy clothes is burning the last bridge of sparkling audacity. That’s what you are overwhelmed with. Online. Offline. Who are the Sonia, Yves and Gianni of 2017 ? Devotees of mastering real style revolutions. Who ? Taste has gone rogue. Analog + Digital are shelfs of the uninspiring. Only a h andful of modélistes with unrivalled mastership of coupe- and-chic are fighting today. I call them Les Lucides. They believe in lucidity not lunacy. Look for them. Buy them clothing. Support them. They matter. For all of us. Like Sonia. Like Yves. Like Gianni.
