Mon avis: Massimiliano Giornetti a créé une collection dédiée à un techni-aristo. Je me damnerai pour le manteau noir doublé de lynx ou le trench croco (deux splendeurs!) mais une chose certaine: je vais reprendre l'idée du cardigan porté à même la peau sous un costume! Photo: Marcio Madeira

Mon avis: Rien ne nous obligera, l'hiver prochain, à porter la salopette de ski en ville ou le soir, sous un blouson ou une veste mais ils sont tellement bien coupés qu'on peut aisément la remplacer par un jeans slim ou un pantalon cigarette! Le compte rendu de Julie De Los Rios: Neil Barrett a ouvert son show hiver 2008-09 sur une succession de looks en noir et blanc. Les chemises blanches contrastent sur la silhouette sobre, nœud papillon ou cravate, pantalon salopette slim et veste ou parka. Neil Barrett revisite les codes du... [Lire la suite]

Mon avis: Lorsque Muccia Prada était étudiante et secrétaire du Parti Communiste Italien, elle défilait en Saint Laurent vintage. Sa passion pour YSL remonte à cette époque et elle a concocté un "Beau du Jour" en revisitant le travail du maître. Une collection très sobre, sans fioriture. Les chemises sont boutonnées derrière, les boutonnages des vestes, invisibles. Mes coups de coeur: le détail du col de chemise en collier, les manchettes rouges, les cabas.
