The cold-toned pictures are mixed with a number of monochromes, echoing the confusion and frustration in the model’s eyes. Various bustier and corsets seem to be restraining her from movements, heightening a sense in insecurity and imprisonment.
All in fashion
Grounds For Sculpture
The model casting is diverse, so as their outfits, but there is a denominator among them that is quite observable.
Apricot Curtain
The pale-gold eye shadow, burnt orange satin curtain, and apricot wall have set the palpable nostalgic tone of these images. The girls have stepped on their crystal pumps, put on their embellished or printed dresses – ready for a party in this empty hall.
Illume
We can sense the exploration of masculinity and femininity, and the connection between humans and nature.
Ludlow Street
Shot in an old-fashioned apartment tucked away in Ludlow Street, New York City, these images unearth the inner world of a young boy. The slender body, satin ribbons, and white corset created a sense of vulnerability, which works harmoniously with the warm natural light.
Études SS17
The models marched out in protest in front of a nuclear power plant wearing a patch with the collection's motto: "Atomkraft? Nein Danke" (Nuclear power? No thank you").
Givenchy SS17
Riccardo Tisci's collections have been very dark for many seasons. Even though the catwalk was filled with warrior-like models, this spring collection was suddenly more spiritual and happy.
A.P.C. SS17
A.P.C celebrated their 30th anniversary by presenting their SS2017 season with British influences.
Julian Zigerli SS17
Julian Zigerli created the "SORRY" who rocked the Palais the Tokyo. The show represented all the things we should and shouldn't be sorry for.
Maison Margiela SS17
This season’s Maison Margiela focused on the craft of making, and the concept of reduction and artful deconstruction.
Boris Bidjan Saberi SS17
The Post-Humanism collection from the Boris Bidjan Saberi SS17 is a real match, yet mix between humans and machines.
Issey Miyake SS17
Loose fitted crinkled suits, over-sized raincoats and tailored jumpsuits. Yusuke was inspired by Varanasi, the spiritual capital of India.
Hayfever
Bees, flowers, pollens – the nightmare of some people during haying season, are playfully incorporated in the delicate make-up of the model. Symptoms of allergy like watery eyes and red nose capture an awkward beauty, and inject a hint of vulnerability.
Haider Ackermann SS17
Ackerman said “It’s all about freedom” and so he pushed his dandy aesthetic towards the sportswear territory and didn’t leave one Pantone chart unexplored.
Y/Project SS17
Glenn Marten’s pirates rocked the runway, set on a boat by the banks of Seine playing dub reggae and jamming tunes.
Lemaire SS17
The show was held in the beautiful Palais de la Femme, a 1910 vintage charitable refuge for distressed women. Christophe Lemaire and Sarah Linh Tran went on a voyage and brought multicultural influences to this season.
Damir Doma SS17
The collection contrasted with sober textiles and sensual treatments in olive, white, ochre, orange, indigo and black. Stretched proportions that resulted in a softening between the female and male silhouette.
Jil Sander SS17
Sleek, sleek, sleek. The glossy hair matched the shiny tailored leg trousers, long trench coats and the clean colour palette. Jil returned to her true founding principles and roots — nineties minimalism.
Raf Simons SS17
Asymmetrical sweaters, long coats and oversized tops were the common theme for the Raf Simons SS17 collection while the mannequins proudly wore Robert Mapplethorpe photographs as prints on their chest.
Gosha Rubchinskiy SS17
Shadows raised from the post-Soviet concrete silhouette and out marched a gang of perfectly casted prodigies. Dressed in acrylic tracksuits, heavy silver chains, stuffed in Fila sweaters and mullet cuts, Gosha took us back to a school yard somewhere in the Soviet union in 1984.
