CLAIR DE LUNE:
Looking up into the night sky you feel motionless and mesmerized as you fall prey to the moon’s charm.
Looking up into the night sky you feel motionless and mesmerized as you fall prey to the moon’s charm.
Whether it is crescent or full, you bear witness to an eternal celestial struggle for dominance between light and darkness.
The moon’s power and its magnetism are transcended to us through its light. It is this very moonlight that, like an invisible veil, dresses up the night and sets the mood. Whether it falls upon an ocean, a desert or upon a woman’s body it inspires romanticism, a feeling of mystery, elegance and seduction, a fascination with the female form.
Maria Aristidou’s knit couture collection Autumn Winter 2019 / 20 is an ode to Clair de Lune.
The cuts, the designs and accessories with hand embroidered embellishments on colourful, luxurious knit fabrics, made by the designer; they all accentuate the timeless romance, femininity and uniqueness that are defined in every flicker,
every speck of Clair de Lune.
The magic of knitwear inspired the designer to first explore and then create, using luxurious threads and elaborate techniques, various knit patterns. The craftsmanship of detailed hand embroideries adds to the uniqueness of Maria Aristidou's fabric collections for the couture evening and accessories. The process of each collection production starts from the fabric design. Yarns such as wool, viscose, lurex, cotton, silk and velvet are ordered from France and Italy. Then, a series of patterns are designed in great detail followed by a series of tests to decide on the yarns will be used for each pattern, how thick or thin the fabric to be, colour sampling combinations, hand-embroidery design testing, quality and durability checks etc. The whole design and production processes take place in Cyprus.

Pearl of the Far East:
Whether it is in Indochine or in L’Amant, “Vien Dong” has been in the heart of France as a love. That loves inspired Patrick Pham. On his trip to the rural weaving villages, the young designer suddenly reminisce the distant memories. The luggage he brought back is filled masterpieces from the ivory-like hands of artisans from a country that is deeply in love with France. The old French sentiment for the Far East rises up again with another love story. Paris is just like to meet its old friend!
Coming to this Paris Fashion Week 2019, Patrick Pham presents 29 Couture dresses from handmade textile materials of Vietnam's most famous weaving villages, along with handmade accessories made by artisans from Hue – the Imperial city of the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam.
Naming the collection “Pearl of Far East” for Couture dresses from handmade and environmentally friendly materials, Patrick Pham probably just started his new journey: the journey to promote Paris fashion lifestyle, but this time, it is somewhere outside of France!
LET FLY:Nothing is static in this world. All movement means progression, change, development. As the present is evolving so fast, we would like to stop the time, to take wings and to fly away, to breathe...
Thus, all terrestrial creatures with wings move, fly, and live freely in Nature. Similarly, the human being has always aspired throughout his development to a deep desire to fly to discover the unknown and closer to perfection: Nature. He created planes to fly; Armine Ohanyan Paris presents in the new collection of "L E T F L Y" this contrast between naturalness and invention realized by man, and reveals both the volatile and metallic, natural and mechanical aspects. Several elements illustrate this opposition, such as the use of natural materials (silk chiffon, silk organza, duchess satin, cotton, etc.) - with beautiful hand pleats designed by Maison du Pli - combined with laser cutting.
Moreover, to denounce the pollution of the air and the world around us, the designer reiterates the use of recycled plastics by summoning them into a much more luxurious dimension. Indeed, the plastic is covered with a layer of white gold.
The house Armine Ohanyan Paris collaborates here with the house Daumet. Daumet combines ancestral know-how and new technologies from scientific research, revolutionizes the world of gold, by committing to work only with recycled gold and by customizing dry materials and without any chemical bath.
The imaginary gives us wings. Let's fly! And let fly ...
