At the time of writing, the COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted many losses: human, social and economic. What we are now experiencing is an unprecedented moment of crisis in modern history. However, it is during uncertain times that companies often come up with new ideas, converting the crisis into an opportunity, and adopting a long-term vision of future challenges. This prolonged disruptive situation is creating profound changes in consumer behavior and how companies are responding to these changes—prompting a debate about the future of the fashion and luxury industry. There is a general feeling of rethinking luxury and driving it in new directions, considering which business models will be feasible and more relevant in the new normal. Tradition and responsiveness, two elements that have always characterized luxury companies, will both be required to face great challenges in the post-COVID environment. We see the pandemic acting as a divider between the old way of doing business and the new scenario that is taking shape, characterized by changing consumer behavior. Hence, in this report, we talk about a new age for fashion and luxury and will explore the main trends that will drive the industry in the coming months.

Éphémères mais pourtant essentiels, vêtements et accessoires sont les séduisants témoins de nos modes de vie et les instruments de tous nos rituels. Rien de moins inattendu apparemment que la robe de mariée tradi- tionnelle — blancheur virginale, voile, bouquet : tout semble dit... Et pourtant les parures nuptiales, aujourd'hui rassemblées dans les murs du palais Galliera, nous convient à une véritable archéologie du mariage, croisant significations religieuses, culturelles et sociales, à travers les plis des étoffes, le choix des cou- leurs, les fantaisies et les particularismes. Comme tout exercice de style, la robe de mariée est aussi, pour les arti- sans et les créateurs auxquels cette exposition rend hommage, prétexte à invi- tation, rupture, détournement. Façon pour eux de nous dire, s'il en était besoin, qu'au fond le mariage est tout, sauf conformisme.

  • ^ for Immediate Release
    ^ For immediate release LACMA acquires couture collection spanning approximately 130 years of fashion history Images captions on page 3 (Los Angeles-January 8, 2013) The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has significantly added to its twentieth-century fashion collection with the acquisition of 158 examples of fashion by couture designers dating from 1880 to 2008, made possible by dedicated museum supporter Ellen A. Michelson. Nearly fifty major fashion designers are represented in this acquisition, including Cristóbal Balenciaga, Jean Dessès, Christian Dior, Hubert de Givenchy, Christian Lacroix, Jeanne Lanvin, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Jean Patou, Paul Poiret, and Paco Rabanne. The collection is especially strong in the work of Coco Chanel, Madame Grès, and Madeleine Vionnet—three icons of French fashion whose distinctive creations are of unquestionable artistic merit. LACMA’s holdings of Vionnet have been additionally strengthened by the recent acquisition of the Betty Kirke Pattern Archives of Madeleine Vionnet, a gift of Betty Kirke. The collection of 158 pieces of day and eveningwear is the latest in a series of recent gifts from Michelson, who was also a major donor toward the acquisition of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European costume collection in 2008—much of which was displayed in the acclaimed exhibition Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700–1915; in 2010 Michelson also made possible the acquisition of twenty-eight rare examples of eighteenth–and nineteenth-century European menswear and accessories. Selections from both of those collections form the basis for the planned 2016 LACMA exhibition Reigning Men: From the Macaroni to the Metrosexual, a groundbreaking historical survey of menswear.

  • MODE : LE DÉFILÉ COMME PERFORMANCE ARTISTIQUE Bibliographie Sélective
    Bibliothèque nationale de France direction des collections département Littérature et art Septembre 2016 MODE : LE DÉFILÉ COMME PERFORMANCE ARTISTIQUE Bibliographie sélective Gala nautique des artistes de Paris, piscine Molitor 1932 / Agence Mondial Bibliothèque nationale de France, Département des Estampes et de la photographie [EI-13 (2949)] L’art et la mode forment depuis quelques décennies un tandem complémentaire. En 1965, Yves Saint-Laurent inspiré par Mondrian crée une robe devenue depuis emblématique. Mais l’influence de l’art s’incarne aujourd’hui dans des créations percutantes d’où émane une émotion fondée sur le message politique qui l’a inspiré ; les créations d’Hussein Chalayan en sont un bel exemple. Depuis l’avènement du prêt-à-porter, le défilé de mode est devenu le point culminant du lancement des collections. En effet, la plupart des griffes de luxe ne font pas de publicité à proprement parler. La présentation des collections se révèle donc d’une importance capitale. Certains opteront pour une présentation solennelle et majestueuse devant un parterre trié sur le volet, tel Azzedine Alaïa. Quand d’autres proposent de véritables shows où en quelques minutes le spectateur doit s’imprégner de l’esprit du créateur, être transporté et rêver. Chaque « défilé-spectacle » est l’occasion d’expérimenter une nouvelle manière de mettre en scène les vêtements et celui/celle qui les porte, créant ainsi une atmosphère, une attitude, une nouvelle démarche. Ces nouvelles formes de présentation se sont ébauchées au cours du XXème siècle. Le mannequin fait son apparition dans les années 20. Auparavant, les maisons de couture parisienne faisaient encore poser les ouvrières ou les vendeuses devant les photographes.
