The article discusses various fashion collections showcased during a recent fashion event where designers emphasized revisiting foundational elements of style. Sarah Burton aims to strip back to the silhouette with redefined hourglass forms and exquisite detailing in her collection for Givenchy. Chanel's creative studio highlights Coco Chanel's iconic elements through playful scaling and elegant adornments. Chloe's collection contrasts opulence with ease, inspired by rustic British aristocrats, while Dior's Maria Grazia Chiuri brings literary inspiration from Virginia Woolf's Orlando to her runway presentation, illustrating diverse themes across collections.
"I wanted to strip it back to silhouette, to start at the very beginning, to take everything away and go back to the backbone of what the house was about," said Sarah Burton backstage at her much anticipated debut at Givenchy.
The collection was permeated with a romantic image of boho British aristocrats in drafty stately homes: think faux fur coats thrown over silk nighties styled with trinket necklaces.
In her show notes creative director Chemena Kamali said she was inspired by the contradiction of the lavish and opulent with the more paired down realness and ease of the Chloe woman.
Maria Grazia Chiuri took Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando as her Dior AW25 collection inspiration. Orlando's story spans centuries and genders, on the runway that manifested as a 5 act show.
