Haute Couture Pt 1

The Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Parisienne, now known as the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, was founded in 1868 as the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture or des Confectionneurs et des Tailleurs pour Dame, and it consists of three separate trade associations: the Cambre Syndacale de la Haute Couture, the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, and the Chambre Syndicale

The federation is also directing a fashion school École de la chambre syndicale de la couture parisienne created in 1927 and that has seen as alumni personality such as Valentino Garavani, Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, André Courreges, Issey Miyake, Anne Valerie Hash, Alexis Mabille, Tomas Maier, Nicole Miller, Stephane Rolland.

Only a nominated commission can assign the label Haute Couture (a legally protected phrase) to a Maison.

To be appropriate, the Maison must produce bespoke garments with a workforce of 15 full-time employees and 20 technical employees. Each collection must consist of 50 unique and original pieces displayed during fashion week and developed exclusively for a certain clientele. A brand became an official member after being invited.

This union emphasizes the importance of the designer’s creativity, the quality of the fabrication that is made on each customer with multiple trials, and the establishment of regulations for the sale and duplication of the design.

The Chambres Syndicales have around a hundred members, and the President Ralph Toledano only works with Pietro Beccari (Christian Dior), Delphine Bellini (Schiaparelli), Riccardo Bellini (Maison Margiela), Philippe Fortunato (Givenchy), Bruno Pavlovsky (Chanel), and Sophie Waintraub (Jean-Paul Gaultier) to establish the members for haute couture.

This organization provides members with not only the potential to be classed at the top of the fashion world, but also economic, technological, cultural, and political benefits.

It aims to showcase French Fashion Culture as well as the dedication that this type of environment entails.

The birth of Pret-a-Porter in the twentieth century also influenced the importance of Haute Couture; the main differences are measured in time and expenses, and this market, which was already very limited, became almost exclusive and inaccessible, with only a few thousand people able to afford or have access to this type of luxury item. Thanks to the Federation, this type of fashion has become a market window that displays the artisanal work’s capability, which is also a significant point for the pret a porter and fast fashion.

One of the Federation’s main goals is to organize the French Fashion Weeks, including dates and locations, and to determine the standards that a brand or a fashion house must adhere to in terms of quality in the industry in order to be classed as Haute Couture.

In truth, this federation is very strict about supporting the proper designer; in fact, one of the key concerns is the handcrafted manufacturing quality.

Let's review Dior Resort 2022!

As a result, Maria Grazia decided to play it safe this time and do what she usually does. The inspiration is about sport and how clothes can give freedom of the movement, the Greek element is something always present since is in her background.

But let's talk about the runway; it's not bad in my opinion; the goal of a sporty environment and freedom of movement is achieved; however, I always struggle to like one of her collections because I associate Dior with elegance and elites; what Maria Grazia is attempting to do is to broaden Dior's market to include commercial and young audiences; this is not wrong, but in my opinion, it's not what Dior is about.

I found the general appearance to be basic, with items that I had seen in past collections and nothing that drew me in.  I have to add that I liked the harness thing in some looks, and the color palette is lovely in comparison to the previous one (which I can't express how much I hate).

What I always think is that she has so many artisans inside Dior and they're not exploited enough, they can do great things I know that, I know.

This coat is one of my favourite!!

Tight society

This is an article that I wrote related to my final thesis, the goal of it was to talk about fetishism related to the corset and it's usage.

In a society where men hold primary power and predominate in positions of political leadership, moral authority, and social privilege, we live in a society where the submission of women has exempted this diversity even further in some nations.

Women, or as the weaker sex is sometimes referred to, have often been dominated by the male power with different devices, one of them is the corset. Even if the woman was wearing it because it was trendy and was an important factor that showed the importance and richness of those who wore it,  on the other hand it was an astriction instrument, a way to hold the body under control, so the sexual needs and the woman’s freedom. Following the idea of the costume historian Helene Roberts, women during Victorian age were victims of a “submissive-masochistic pattern of behaviour”.

The concept of the woman bound into a corset was something used to please a man, but what if the woman’s power is emphasized by this habit?

I took as an example the illustration of the cover of “The adventure of Sweet Gwendoline” By John Willie, he was a bondage artist who depicted this blonde naive girl Gwendoline that was rescued and often tidied up by the Secret Agent U-69. My focus was on this last one, as we can see from the illustration she has the part of the dominant women, even if it’s a stereotypes ruled by men that we can see from the leather corset, the gloves and the high heels, she has also a whip showing her superiority, strength and as we can see from the cartoon she can decide her own path.

This position of dominatrix took place over the years and the tightness of the corset became more than just a sign of obedience and moral restriction, but it was a way of combining sex and power, particularly through BSDM. It is something that shows women are not powerless to take control of the body and over a man, on the contrary, man can be vulnerable and easy to control.  

Fetish into fashion is something common for some brands, for instance Vivienne Westwood worked with the transgression, the reshaping of the garment and the freedom of thought, the bondage suit.

One iconic moment of the history of the corset was the one worn by Madonna into her Blonde Ambition Tour, it was a symbol of sensuality and female empowerment.

Thierry Mugler was another designer who was very close to this subject and to the woman’s dominance and iconolatry, we enter a world dominated by senxual women in the book “Thierry Mugler, Fashion, Fetish, Fantasy,” we see that when he designed clothes his goal was not to sexualize women but expose them to a male audience, to enhance with their beauty.

The photo of Helmut Newton showing a woman wearing a Mugler piece it’s a celebration of the woman throught feticism, a sort of homage to their body and the beauty of femininity.

I want to take a moment to talk about Balenciaga Spring 2022 ready to wear, for this collection Gvasalia wanted to create an atmosphere of almost confusion: what's real and what's fake? All the models are clone and this kind of universe represent a futuristic world since our is being dominated by technology.

The runway began with a black look that reminded me of the Harry Potter dementor, and the line-up included several features from the Gucci collaboration (which I dislike and will discuss later). The overall silhouette is beautifully defined, the oversize is just right, and the overall aesthetic is something I'd definitely consider, though some of the prints didn't quite work for me.

I'm really interested in seeing where Balenciaga goes in the future; I've seen it go up and down a lot, and I'm hoping it can find a nice balance.

I'm in love with this collection, the colour palette and the silhouette are just on point!

“I think there’s a renewed sense of optimism right now and I wanted this collection to speak to that,” said Versace via email. “This season is about having fun again and it feels right to put something positive into the world. We’ll never return to the old world or to the old ‘normal,’ there’s no going backwards. This is what the new now looks like to me.”

I think for this collection Donatella looked back to the gold days but renewed them placing a new beginning and a new era, tbh I love old Versace and what Gianni did, it was a fashion icon, so I hope that Donatella could follow this way - even if she said that she will not return to the old world.

The only thing I could say about this collection is "I want one in every color"

Do you know that the Metropolitan Museum of Arts , also known as the Met, offers a Website where you can access exhibition catalogs, books, and publications?

It's an amazing resource where you can find a lot of information. Some of the books can be read online and some even downloaded.

Here two books that I love and I suggest about fashion!
