Elegance before trend.
Such is the motto of the Guy Laroche Spring-Summer 2015 collection , imagined for a woman free of her choices and her movements. The silhouette that envelops her is in her image: carefree and resolutely modern.
Inspired by Claire McCardell, the papess of American luxury sportswear, the collection invokes sleek, graphic shapes. True to the house’s androgynous yet sensual DNA, the collection plunges into a new duality between masculine and feminine: structured dungarees are worn like a tuxedo and paired with a bikini top; mini dresses in raffia weave, silk and lurex are luminous under a supple pea coat.
Dresses run like a thread through the collection: sometimes close to the body, with accentuated waists and laser-cut, devoured-effect embellishments; sometimes composed of tricolored yokes of supple leather. For evening, bias-cut models are embellished with op-art prints and a plunging V-neckline, stretching the silhouette.
Extensive experimentation with materials pushes new boundaries: scraped leather, as light as canvas, brings a grainy varnish to handbags, shoes and details on summer coats. Sunbathing dresses are covered with large pieces of colored plexiglass, adding a mischievous touch. The result is both artisanal and futuristic, discreetly complex and always easy to wear.
As for accessories, a gusseted satchel, three-buckle sandals and square glasses gracefully complete the outfit. The palette is composed of navy or celestin blue, chick yellow, water gray, shell and burgundy.
