Couture Fw 16/17 Fashion Show
Paris, France
The Fall Winter 2016/17 fashion show was held at the Mairie
du 4eme in Paris on July 4th. The designer presented "Envol”, a
Couture collection inspired by the wild beauty of a majestic, imperial bird.
The models walked along a sleek laminated black runway, at the center of a
historic hall distinguished by its carved wood walls and marvelous painted
ceiling.
Opulence and delicacy are key in this collection rich in
contrasts where, just like in a feather, supple and rigid volumes harmoniously
coexist. Skirts with meticulously crafted, volatile embroidery interact with
more dramatic and dense materials.
Tony Ward offers us a Winter season rich in structural forms
nuanced by an intriguing mix of material work.
