Show Pressiat. SS23 during Paris Fashion Week
SUSPICIOUS
She looked at me penetratingly. So, I suppose you can figure out what happened next. IGGY POP
The rencontre between Icons Marilyn Monroe and Iggy Pop sets the tone. We glimpse Pressiats heroine of the night life glamour, Marilyn, disheveled after an evening of revelry.
Pressiat proposes his codes of glamour, varied references from the Victorian era, old Hollywood 50s to the anarchic eighties.
Pressiats elegance is for all genders. His signature sculptural silhouettes achieved with intensively crafted pieces and tailoring. Constructed harness cages, reinterpretations of corsets are worn on the shoulders, over diaphanous gowns in neoprene and long sheath dresses cut from one piece of silk. Tailored jackets, in striped leather, faux ostrich deadstock with bouffant sleeves.
A palette of nudes and blacks, a play on transparency flitting from see through to opaque.
Tim Burtonesque gothic ripped bar jacket, shredded knits, chain dress cut from corset pattern. Toggled shirts and skirts, transformable snap trousers and destroyed T-shirts with distorted Nikkria prints.
A sensual Marilyn lingerie inspiration of slashed and frayed nylon tights. A technique used for jackets, dresses, skirts and corsets. Symbolizing growing of new thick skin in the face of changes in todays society
Soft cocooning a consistent aspect of his collections, Pressiats protective and charnel enveloping through voluminous forms using jerseys and soft materials.
The first Pressiat bag in the shape of a reconverted prism, platforms and boots complete the looks.
Pressiats muses, who share his love of scandal, bring so much to the equation in his shows. Striding in their vertiginous heels we detect the hidden side of the 50s perfection, a silent cry of discontent.
