- Story Text: Rochas provides a Parisian retrospective on the first day of the Spring/Summer Pret-a-Porter collections at Paris Fashion Week.
For his first show with the renowned Paris fashion house, the Italian designer Marco Zanini opted presented a collection as fresh as spring and light as a summer breeze.
Like actresses in a Marguerite Duras film, Zanini's models swayed between elegance and sensuality, with flattering silk cuts and voluptuous colours contrasting with masculine hats and flat sandals.
Inspired by Parisian chic but also the dreamy atmosphere of French colonial styles, the Italian's creations tie pure lines and intense colours with perky hats and sassy flower details.
With the loss-making French couturier Christian Lacroix not presenting a collection on the Parisian podiums, more eyes than usual will be on the remaining French names such as Rochas, even if their new designer is Italian.
The other big French fashion houses follow Rochas, with Chanel, Dior and Jean-Paul Gaultier all wanting to seduce the crowds with their spring/summer collections. Rochas retrospective romanticism certainly smoothes the way. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
