Always a fan of
Vauthier as I see this designer who has multiple technical skills that serve
only a few masters! He shows us season after season that women can be sexy no
matter if they are wearing second skin cut out frocks or all covered up in a
tailleur.

His diversified skillset
and vision speak to some of the great designers of the 20th century;
some of the pieces have a vague retro buzz to them and yet they look fresh and
modern. Even though I am a great admirer of Phillip Treacy, I’m just not quite
sure what Vauthier was thinking when he added Treacy to the mix but no matter
as the clothes have enough presence to quickly overcome the distraction.

It’s not a collection
that will go down in fashion history but it is a collection that speaks to his
clientele and that in itself is something as rare as hen’s teeth…. As the
Texans would say! I tip my hat to him each season as he presents clothes that
exude femininity as well as objectify women in the most flattering way. There is
no trend chasing, not insanity that shatters so many of his colleagues ...
there is consistency.

It is my feeling that
he is one of the rare designers who speaks to a different generation of couture
clients other than the ones we generally expect to find at couture showings.

The
only restriction that he insists on is that his women are in great shape and
have great presence and confidence in their wardrobe choices.

Vauthier is possibly a
lone man out there in fashion who stays his course and evolves season after
season. Kudos to you Alexandre!
