- Story Text: The Paris Haute Couture week opened on Monday (January 25) with a graphic collection of bold shapes and bright colours in a show hosted in a city car garage.
Young French designer Alexis Mabille said his new Spring/Summer collection had been inspired by the Russian painter Kazimr Malevich and the artistic movement Suprematism which stresses basic geometric shapes using a sparse range of colour.
"The inspirations were Malevich and Suprematism, this idea of leaving the body, or going into it, with structures, a couple, more graphic, and working on that, working with the female body to aid volume, it's like a kind of surgery, you go in and add contrasting colours to enhance it," explained Mabille.
Malevich aimed to convey the "supremacy of feeling in art," expressed through the simplest of visual forms. Mabille wanted to convey the supremacy of beauty of the women wearing his clothes. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
