Christophe Josse Fall 2013 Couture | Behind The Scenes

Tweet

The Christophe Josse Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/14 is like a sartorial trip through the Far East. He infused his collection with deep silks in flowy cuts reminiscent of traditional Mongolian costumes, and a hint of Russia, apparent in floral embroideries on shawls. The daywear opted for billowing silhouettes and plenty of ruffle.

The latter appeared on necklines, hemlines or round a cinch waist, spicing up otherwise pared down lines. Balloon sleeves and empire cuts accentuated the bohemian, airy comfort of the collection. As for the nightwear, Josse opted for more figure-revealing numbers, but always in a subtle, almost poetic way: a high waist discretely marked by a tone-on-tone belt, an occasional silk, or an asymmetrical gathering at the waist confirmed the designer's ability to create youthful yet fit-for-all femininity.

Christophe Josse joins in January 2011, the very closed circle of the Haute Couture (The association began as the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, dates to 1868) which confers him the prestigious title of "grand couturier". At the end of 2008, he opens his Haute Couture House at 231 rue Saint-Honoré in Paris.

The Urals inspired Christophe Josse to create discrete, ultrafeminine silhouettes. Drawing on the region’s rich folklore, the designer wrapped his Near Eastern princesses in either silk-fringe collar-scarves or lean, embroidered coats. A long, wool kaftan worn over a pair of Neoprene knickers had an effortlessly elegant air, while soft lamb leather was folded into a wrap dress boasting sleeves in the shape of Russian candy. The muted palette of powdered rose, bronze and ivory conjured a warm, wintery feel.

'VALENTINO Fall 2013 Couture | Behind The Scenes'

'As couturiers, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli found the idea of the Wunderkammer particularly appealing. "In a cabinet of curiosities, the pieces are very unique, very one-of-a-kind," Piccioli said. "We've tried to make something that is not only special, but also surprising, unexpected."'
