Paris, September 27, 2016: Japan inspired Alithia Spuri-Zampetti, creative director of PAULE KA, for her second collection at the Maison de la Rue Saint Honor\u00e9.
\nIn the lush setting of the Grandes Serres du Jardin des Plantes, fifty models compose a summer fantasy, between the rigor of Japanese culture and the desire for fluidity. Welcome to a symphony of dresses imbued with tropical colors, where workshop work sublimates as never before PAULE KA’s idea of the woman: the House’s “Modern Couture” spirit reveals a desire for everyday sophistication. <\/p>\n
PURE AND STRUCTURED
\nA lush stroll through the heart of a fantasized Japan comes to life in a crescendo of colors, like a dream of textures and materials, from the strictest lines to the most romantic shapes. This journey begins with a tribute: when Serge Cajfinger created PAULE KA almost thirty years ago, his very first garments were almost masculine models, including a blazer from which he removed the shoulder pads, as if in reaction to the excessively baggy fashions of the 1980s. For Alithia, this inspiration was the starting point for a formidable styling exercise. Under her fingers, the suit is transformed in a thousand and one ways. The immaculate gabardine of a classic jacket, fluidly worked, is alternately unfolded into a draped long dress, a sleeveless top or a scarf tied around the body. It transforms into a jumpsuit or cape, and is sometimes structured with wide obis-like belts.
