Paris Fashion Week: Haute Couture recycles to save the planet<

Haute couture, green?While scrolling, in just four days, kilometers of fabrics, thousands of rhinestones and just as many pearls?If the fashion industry still has a lot of progress to make about its climate impact, it still tries to become greener, through carbon compensation or less polluting creations.Haute Couture did not escape this trend, as proved by the latest Fashion Week, organized from Monday 21 to Thursday, January 23 in Paris.

Parmi les 34 défilés présentés à cette période, de nombreuses maisons ont fait le choix de l’upcycling, parmi lesquelles le duo néerlandais Viktor & Rolf.There are indeed several seasons that the label, which only scrolls for haute couture, imagines "recycled" collections made from its archives, sometimes aged 20 to 25 years. En 2017, Viktor & Rolf avait ainsi présenté une série de robes de bal composées de différents morceaux de tissus, à la façon d’un patchwork grand luxe.A concept that the duo wanted to reproduce this season for a collection of a collection of both the little house in the meadow and the illustrations of the novelist Holly Hobbie as well as well as well.

This time, the creators had to draw elsewhere than in their archives, "almost exhausted" according to them: they therefore turned to the many samples of fabrics received from their suppliers over the years, and most neverused.It was therefore the latter who were assembled by the workshops of the house to create the 24 silhouettes of the show.With the desire to emphasize the "beauty of imperfection", and recall once again than Less is more.

Make new with old people was also the philosophy of Jean Paul Gaultier, who presented his final parade on Wednesday, January 22, January 22."Tonight you see my first haute couture upcycling collection," the creator announced in his intention note."I opened all the drawers, I recovered all my old collections, all that I hunned by travel or to the chips, to in fact confetti and make them," he explained then, proclaiming even "goodbyeThe brand new, hello the blazing old!»».
