During Couture Fashion Week there are lots of fancy after-parties for the guests to select and select between. When all people within the same business are gathered in Paris whatever better time to have a 24-hour museum arranged by Prada and a grand dinner honoring the event. Guests who attended were Kate Moss, Anna Wintour, Salma Hayek and Diane Kruger amid others.
The man behind the "non-existing museum" is Francesco Vezzoli, a well-known Italian artist. (I saw his works hanging parallel to Salavador Dali's within the world-touring display Dali Dali honoring the two.) The museum was located for a day within the the historic Palais d'Iéna, which today houses the French Economic, Social and Environmental Council. The classical sculptures Vezzoli created for the event are a tribute to the ageless allure of femininity that make references to contemporary divas. "They are my icons turned into sculptures and placed on marble pedestals," he says. The fashion house has previously held his work at Prada Transformer (Seoul, 2009).
At the last day of couture fashion 7 days Elie Saab and Jean Paul Gautier showed incredible collections which were the complete opposite of each other. Gautier's was a tribute to Amy Winehouse with models working the same hair and make-up as the late singer, and Saab with her picture-ultimate models wearing more sophisticated couture in light colours like pink and purple.
Gautier's show was a fun colourful circus with an excessive variation not seen at any other show. The models had divergent hair colors ranging since pink to green but mostly the black Winehouse look. Watching this cool couture show you'll certainly be impressed by Gautier's fantasy, you have to check all the photos.
