- Story Text: A nostalgic look back to the rich Saint Moritz era from the nineteen-thirties to the sixties was presented by Alber Elbaz, American designer for Guy Laroche, in his 1998 Spring and Summer collection unveiled in Paris Elbaz dedicated his show on Thursday (October 16) to the styles worn by the "Jet Set" of those times, a series of masculine outlines but feminine blouses in smocked muslin, silk muslin or white shirting with puffed sleeves.
The fil-a-fil skirt on a poplin shirt replaced the real dress.
Each pantsuit was presented with two blouses, evening and day version. The trousers had low cut waistlines, deck-fronts and darts and always large at the ankle.
Featherweight coats were coordinated with unwaisted dresses, fitted on braces like dungarees. They were made in seagull coloured fil-a-fil or double faced leather. And there was a rebirth of the knee under a short pleated skirt at the back to underline a cheeky silhouette.
Elbaz presented few tailored suits but trompe-l'oeil duos with skirts and jackets. The evening outfits were in draped pastel coloured cotton, mauve, skyblue, and pink.
