Alexandre Vauthier fall 2020


This collection is rated R ... restricted for adult women who understand that sexy doesn’t mean tits to the wind and bare the nipple!

 Vauthier, as I have written almost every time, understands that real women can look sexy and even hot just wearing pants and a white shirt! Add to that simple understanding that he also understands how to pour on the glam and sex without any trace of gimmickry or garishness.

For whatever reason, I know he is a master tailor but he is also a master dressmaker as demonstrated in those 2 blue gowns and the 2 pale pink ones as well. I’m not sure I’m right here but I sensed a whisper of the original YSL mindset when it comes to how these clothes are presented with a generous soupçon of Helmut Newton.

Yes, he is also a favorite for his ultra-short and sexy rock star pieces but who among the current crop of designers can name the First lady of France as a client along with almost any music superstar. That my friends, takes innate talent. He understands the definition of chic/slick and soigné as well as the meaning of sensual.

The very last image shown suddenly reminded me of Diana Vreeland in one of her most famous images … it’s almost as if she was reincarnated or conjured for the 21st century in that particular look!
