S/S22 Decoding by universe – Dresses & blouses The 22 February 2021 - Fabrics - Première Vision Paris

In an effort to enliven but not overload, a fanciful sparkle is sprinkled over transparency, an invitation to elaborate light pieces decorated with layered, shirred or ruffled details.

Motifs have an innocent look, while scattered bucolic florals and dots are dispersed on delicate grounds, heralding a springtime insouciance. Cottony voiles and mousselines are embellished with discreet plumetis and miniaturized cut-yarn jacquards. Micro-printed tulle or mini burnt-out all-overs modestly reveal the skin.

Plains are lightened to the extreme and reveal lively surfaces, to elaborate blouses and dresses of a refined simplicity. Viscose blends and semi-transparent silkies are embellished with figured effects or fine slubs. Flowing pieces play on fluidity in a monochromatic vein, via geometric motifs with rounded shapes.

Eyelet embroideries take on voraciously bright shades worked in plains or fresh and tangy contrasting two-tones. Their patterns are enlarged and significantly emptied out to move away from a classic romanticism and indulge in sprightly fantasies. Ornaments are pared down, favoring dresses and tops with clean lines, and fuller or shortened volumes. Placements situated on the bottom are an invitation to rethink lengths and elaborate bold cut-outs.

The delicacy of lace boldly ventures into the sports arena, striving to offer a new kind of glamour, one that’s joyful and enticing but always shot through with freshness. In nets and Chantilly lace, plays on tulle accentuate the graphic impact of patterns, whose charm is enhanced by the vitality of their colorways.

Soft and luminous iridescence shifts preciousness into an everyday register. Metallo-plastic yarns enhance laces, knits and embroideries. To ensure the modernity of stand-out items, gleam is adorned with pastel reflections, and patterns eschew any grandiosity.

From casualwear to evening apparel, hybrid knits ranging from jersey to lamé reveal a taste for understated seduction. They are an invitation to design cut-sewn dresses and blouses that combine comfort and good looks, for indoor and outdoor uses.
