Christophe Josse Showcase @ Women’s Fashion Week 2011 Haute Couture Week

 

Christophe Josse studied art history for three years in Paris, followed by one year in stylisme then following an internship at Louis Féraud fashion house where he started working with Torrente.

Slightly tinted with classical historical references, his creations are soft, vaporous and romantic. The designer is well known for his sublime wedding dresses, which are often translucent, playfully exposing while concealing the body. Josse’s cuts express femininity in its most innocent and unveiled nature. The defining characteristics according to Christophe himself is a desire for exaggerated femininity, something very light, the act of composing a slender, somewhat fragile and very subtle silhouette.

His Spring/Summer 2010 collection was particularly wearable as he sort to create a Haute Couture collection that is wearable .His clientale includes a wide range of French clients, lawyers, bankers, business women but also have more “exotic” loyal customers mainly from the Gulf countries – Saudi princesses fancy evening dresses.

Women’s Fashion Week 2011 Singapore – Haute Couture Showcase !!!

 

Women’s Fashion Week 2011 Singapore held at Marina Bay Sands was a star-studded affair with  8 of the best couturiers and their collections on display. The set design was extravagant and reminds one of  a European  courtyard at it’s romantic best. The sweet fragrance of flowers in full bloom also lingers in the air while the trees takes on different shades everyday as the “seasons” changes .

A first outside Paris , the Haute Couture showcase spotlights the talents of Maxime Simoens , Gustavo Lins, Eymeric Francois , Christophe Josse , Dominique Sirop , Alexis Mabille , Anne Valerie Hash and Stephane Rolland from the 27^th to 30 October 2011 . The opening night Gala also showcased Singaporean designers Thomas Wee, Ashley Isham and Frederick Lee.

The Haute Couture gowns on show were of such intricate craftsmanship that it is worthy of monarchial grandeur.  The show seems to spare no expense in celebrating the individuality and yet romantic side of the modern woman.

Megalomaniac Euphoria will also be covering the individual designers in the days to come . Look Out for it.
