YSL“My small job as a couturier, is to

make clothes that reflect our times.

I’m convinced women want to wear

pants.”

He was the first fashion designer to use a black model on his runway; he introduced radical and avant-garde

fashion designs to the world of haute couture including smoking jackets, bare breasts and androgyny glamour and he is the man praised by Naomi Campbell for mak-

ing her everything she is today. During his career, which extended more than 40 years, Yves Saint Laurent built up an iconic reputation and was credited with revolu-

tionizing the way modern women dress.

“Fashions fade, style is eternal.” YSL

From the beginning of his career at the age of 21, when he was made chief designer of the House of Dior, Saint Laurent generated a huge amount of con-troversy with his radical and ground breaking fashion designs. Perhaps his most notorious reformation of the female dress was introducing pants as everyday as well as evening dress for women. This was followed in 1966 by the creation and catwalk debut of Le Smoking, the first tuxedo for women. However despite the daring of this bold and pioneering design, Yves was crowned king of all that was modern, glamorous and classically timeless when Bianca Jagger chose to where his tuxedo in white for her St Tropez wedding to Mick Jagger in 1971.Despite developing into a more conservative designer later in his career, he had an evolutionary rather than revolutionary belief that all a woman needed to be fashionable was a pair of pants, a sweater and a raincoat, he made a number of controversial moves in the 70’s. In 1971 he appeared completely naked in an advertising campaign for the YSL male fragrance and then in the mid 70’s his launch of a perfume called Opium brought criticisms that he was condoning drug use, not least because of his own addictions.The collections which are considered to be among the greatest successes of his career were the ‘rich peasant’ collection of 1976, which was so successful that the Paris show in which it featured was restaged in New York, and the 1965 Mondrian collection which was based on paintings of the Dutch artist of the same name. This was not the only time Saint Laurent paid homage to artists he admired through his work, the appliqués and beadworks that often adorned his elegant evening wear were inspired by artists such as Picasso, Miró and Matisse. However this is maybe not so much of a surprise when you take into consideration the Parisian social life he lead at the height of his career. At a time when Paris was the cultural centre of the world, Yves surrounded himself with the most talented artists, writers, dancers and actors, with Andy Warhol and writer Thandée Klossowski among them. By 1983, when Yves was 47, his work and contribution to the fashion industry was considered so fundamentally important that the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art held a retrospective of his designs, which marked the first time they had honored a living designer. Diana Vreeland, the doy-enne of the Costume Institute and the woman behind this exhibition perfectly summed up Yves Saint Laurent’s unrivalled influence on women’s fashion from 1957 to the present day, “Whatever he does, women of all ages, from all over the world, follow.”

“ I want to thank all the women who have worn my clothes, the

famous and the unknown, who have been so faithful to me and

given me so much joy.”

What did you want to be when you were a little girl?

What toys were you obsessed with?

How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Hester

Industry people

Chester, Cheshire (Hester-from-Chester, that’s great isn’t it!? I honestly do not know what they weren’t

thinking!)

At the moment I love love love Kings of Leon ‘Sex on Fire’ Whenever it comes on I’m like a mad woman!! I like music that you can dance to! I also love Candi Staton’s ‘You’ve got the love’ and of course ‘Brown Eyed Girl’ by Van Morrison. My mum used to play this when I was a little girl and it just takes me back and makes me smile. And one last one, Faithless ‘Insomnia’ ;that reminds me of one of my best friends in the world, she’s as mad as

me and we just go crazy with this song!

Cheese and crackers! I just love it. I have it any meal

and time of the day. Loads of different types of cheese; Brie, Smoked Bavarian, Smoked Applewood, Philadelphia…. I remember my dad ringing me on the last day of my Duke

of Edinburgh walk and asking me if there was anything I wanted to eat when I got back. I said, “Can I have Jacobs cream Crackers and Philadelphia please Dad?”

I always wanted to be a fashion designer.

I used to have this toy called ‘Fashion Wheel’ and you got to pick patterns and types of clothes to colour in

for each little paper woman cut out, it was amazing!! I’d put little collections together and create a ‘catwalk’!

I don’t know probably over 60! I love shoes! Once I had to get my friend to buy me these lime green and purple

high-top, satin trainers and pretend to give them to me as a present so that my mum wouldn’t tell me off. Need-less to say my mum didn’t find out until about 3 years later when my friend started reminiscing about the story and thought my mum had already found out! I still wear

them so it was well worth it!

Gan

neMourning or memorial jewellery has been worn

for centuries, especially during the Victorian era where funerals and the events attached to burying, immortalizing, and remembering the

dead was of much importance. Common symbols used in mourning jewellery included forget-me-

nots, flowers, hair of a loved one, hearts, crosses, ivy leaves, and more macabre symbols such as

skulls, coffins and gravestones. Gisele Ganne re-fers to these, and expounds upon them glamoriz-ing death to the level of Haute Couture Catwalk. Ganne also refers to other old or ethnic customs

as the Andaman ( a little community in Bengal where the widow takes the skull of their hus-

band after the burial to wear it as a necklace), urban legends as the Black Widow who kill her

husbands for their money and historical events as crimes, serial killers, and suicides… Ganne’s

mourning jewellery illustrates these different forms of death. Each piece tells a story about

the deceased and their widow. The widow of the deceased can wear the jewellery in his memory,

or in memory of the manner in which he died.

But mourning is not just about dead people, it is also about dead relationships and decaying

marriages. Today, 42% of the marriages finish by divorce in UK and 38% in France. Gisele Ganne ‘s divorce jewellery refers to old and contempo-

rary wedding customs to illustrate this sort of mourning.

The materials used are mainly leather, sequins, foam, human hair and silver. Gisele Gannes is interested in the symbolic and mythical func-

tion associated with the materials used. Through the mixture of these materials combined with the celebrities or models that will wear them,

Gannes aims to create a sort of pop voodoo, or decadent curse. And by wearing this jewellery

we can morn the death of the celebrity icons we love as they pass on in the coming years. In Vic-torian times, death provided an opportunity for people to display their anguish through various

plumage and adornments. “My intention is to come back to this spirit, to celebrate death and

decay for the power that it holds over life. Impos-ing and visually heavy, my jewellery symbolize

the weight of death and as a ‘ Memento Mori”, reminding us that we all must die.”

Manish Arora

For his second season at Paris Fashion Week, Manish Arora presents a dramatic collection that seamlessly mar-

ries pop culture with high-end couture design. Sit back, take a deep breath and get drawn into the kaleidoscope of

art, colours, imagery and cultural references that unfolds. Arora’s fascination with tracing the evolution of the war-rior through different cultures is evident, from English

knights to gladiators and Japanese samurais. The collec-tion finds Swarovski breastplates and chain mail detailing

with strong structured shoulder shapes. Tapestries and prints from the 17th century Baroque period have been

used as inspiration, with lion head and eagle motifs being given a contemporary twist.

A diverse range of textiles have been used including leather, velvet, silk, brocade, wool, knits and metal films,

in a bright medley of colours. Key silhouettes include struc-tured jackets, fitted dresses, nipped waists and a-line skirts.

The collection explores new techniques of embroidery to achieve unique textures and embellishments. As part of an ongoing collaboration with Arora, now in its fifth success-ful year, CRYSTALLIZED™ -Swarovski Elements have been

used through the collection to create exclusive textiles and accessories including delicate masks.

This season Arora has collaborated with the renowned avant-garde Japanese artist Keiichi Tanaami. During a visit

to Japan, Arora got to experience Tanaami’s ‘Daydream’ exhibition, which had a profound influence on him. Arora approached the artist and their collaboration has resulted

in an explosion of vibrant and experimental graphics. www.manisharora.ws

AMINAKA WILMONTHaving won the acclaim of national and international press and buyers, Maki Aminaka and Marcus Wilmont are set to show their highly anticipated first On-Schedule collection “Vector XXY” at London Fashion Week 2008.

Having previously won the prestigious Fashion Fringe Award, the duo con-tinues to explore the concepts of form and silhouette in-depth. For Autumn/Winter 2008/09 AMINAKA WILMONT took inspiration from the emergence of vector graphics and the cult movie Tron from the 1980’s. The cut-to-death design enabled computer programmers to cre-ate three-dimensional shapes within a two-dimensional environment, with exceptional sharpness and precision. With Vector XXY, AMINAKA WILMONT attempts to retain the initial creative con-cept and infuse both elements within the final creative state. The resulting collec-

tion is an intense and powerful look that bleeds sensuality, forcing the masculine and feminine to clash in an innovative androgynous style.

Experimental pattern-cutting techniques, expertly preformed tailoring and bold graphic digital prints capture the essence of this cross-reality and govern the en-tirety of Autumn/Winter 2008/09 Vector XXY collection. Monochrome colours are fragmented by hints of laser red and mir-rored in shimmering silver greys. Pleated leather, luxurious wool and soft crepe de chine are employed to form a powerful layering effect on jersey garments that sits challengingly against visually graph-ics prints dresses. Detailing is key where leather embossed logo meets striking stitching methods and unique usage of zips that opens up alternate dimensions. www.aminakawilmont.com

It all started with a chance encounter back in 1984. Stephen Jones met Rei Kawakubo in Anchorage, Alaska . . . and the accord which was immediately struck between the master milliner and the great Japanese iconoclast led to the innovative catwalk collaborations which continue to this day. Currently, in addition to his Model Millinery and Miss Jones lines (plus his work with innumerable other fashion stars), Stephen creates hats for Rei’s CDG Women’s and Homme Plus runway shows, and Stephen Jones 1 – a range of unique millinery for Rei’s London home, Dover Street Market. The enormity of their mutual respect was demonstrated in 2005, when Dover Street Market hosted Stephen’s Quarter Century exhibition.

Now, Stephen and Rei announce an exciting new chapter in their creative relation-ship: the development of a fragrance directed by Stephen Jones and produced by Comme des Garcons. This represents the realisation of one of Stephen’s longest held ambitions.

“I’ve always wanted to create a fragrance,” says Stephen Jones. “But there is no-one with whom I would rather be sharing the challenges of this project. I’ve always loved Comme des Garcons fragrances – in fact, I think I may have been the very first person in England to buy one. And my respect for Rei knows no bounds. Her insistent and undiminished determination to make us all us all look at things in a new way identifies her as the most important designer of our times. Her single-mindedness and strength of character are a constant source of inspiration to me.”

“Stephen is a true original who not only has a vision but knows how to realise it. His perfume will be as creative as his hats” REI KAWAKUBO

“No doubt the perfume business will not be the same again once Mr. Jones enters it with his wondrous concoction. I am proud to have had the chance to help pro-duce his first fragrance” ADRIAN JOFFE

“Millinery, I think, is closer to fragrance than fashion. A hat, like a perfume, is an evocation of something nebulous, ephemeral, and other-wordly.” STEPHEN JONES
