Transcendent music, white tam tam and rays of sunlight illuminate the room. True to her minimalist universe, Adeline André presents her Haute Couture A/W 2011-12 collection in the heart of the Marais, in the historic Hôtel d’Ecquevilly.
Two by two
This season, for Adeline André, Haute Couture rhymes with duo.
Entering through two lined-up doors, two women meet and move forward in symbiosis. Models of all ages and physiques, as one couple follows another, a rhythm sets in.
As in all her shows, the designer’s staging is skilfully orchestrated.
In each couple, one of the models stands out from the other by sporting a more colorful outfit.
Coats, jackets and three-armhole dresses follow one another. Large pockets as a continuation of the sleeves and imposing lapels are subtly applied to the pieces.
The falls are strict. Cuts and materials give a severe look. But this is softened by a range of warm colors.
Later, lighter dresses with a small ombré side in doeskin are paraded. Like mermaids, a duo arrives in long, steamy, brightly colored silk crepe dresses.
The outfits are seemingly simple, but the precision of the cut and the striking colors and materials work their charms.
As usual, Adeline André’s show was both sober and original.
