“Square, Grid and Play” — Albert Kriemler, creative director
“Square, Grid and Play” — Albert Kriemler, creative director
“Highlighting the mundane — from our fall 2022 sketchbook.” — Anne Isabella
“The collection was inspired by Madeleine Vionnet’s experience as a designer during the Great Influenza epidemic over 100 years ago, most notably the exceptional pieces she created/crafted for mini mannequins during the lockdown.” — Hidenori Kumakiri
”This season expect a darker woman. We are going less princess-y and it is all about exploring a darker/sexier side of my muse.” — Kévin Germanier, designer, founder
“My inspiration this season is Tove Ditlevsen, a well-known writer in Denmark. I fell in love with her poetry as a teenager, it’s so beautiful and brave. The mood in the collection plays with notions of hyper-femininity skirts and dresses are pulled up to shorter hemlines while still maximizing volume. The silhouettes become more decadent than usual, with couture-grade voluminous-ness, flat surfaces suddenly blossoming.” — Cecilie Bahnsen
“Creative director Julius Juul poses the questions, is it possible to redefine the concept of a ‘uniform’? The concept of the uniform has existed for centuries, so defining time and period is difficult but by working with the components of what makes a uniform and then applying elements unfamiliar to the concept, is it possible to personalize it?” – Heliot Emil
“Knitwear, outline, light and dark. Urban and rural. Present and future.” — CFCL team
“This collection is about being cheerful, jubilant, upbeat and celebrating different occasions. Dancing with friends at a club or dinner. (Fringes, embellishments, multicolored sequins. Fabrics used: duchesse satin, leather and lots of lame.) ” — Ece Ege, designer, co-founder
“No war in Ukraine” — Lisi Herrebrugh and Rushemy Botter, designers
“The roots by nature force their way onward in every direction, for the fruits that will eventually bear.” — Satoshi Kondo, designer
“Perhaps the future belongs to magic, and it’s we women who control magic.” ― author J.G. Ballard, “Rushing to Paradise”
“BALLROOM: An hour before the party, in a mythical grand hotel, friends meet to savor a moment full of excitement and mystery. Day and night unite and flirt with the codes of a cosmopolitan café society, all set and ready to conquer the night and let loose.” — Georg Lux, creative director
“This collection is called Nostalgia and questions the present through the past. Archives, memories and old feelings to remember, then process, to make a better world. Past and present are not a confrontation, but dialogue.” — Maitrepierre
“Texture of mountains and the shape of life in Jomon era.” — Maiko Kurogouchi, designer
“Charlotte Rampling in the ‘70s.” — Minuit
“’Death sharpens the face it embraces.’ The entire fall 2022 collection was built by working with white and black, to which I added this season an exploration of shades of blue. In association with the creations of the artist Angélique Lefèvre, who works exclusively in white and from three materials, I added a new innovated and sustainable material: the ‘milk fiber.’” – Mossi team
“The fall 2022 collection is a meditation on seemingly opposite worlds: past and future, vintage and modern, analogue and digital, masculine and feminine.“ — Nehera team
“It’s time to be whoever you want. It’s time to dress however you want. It’s time to be yourself.” — Petar Petrov
“CEREMONY” — Rick Owens
“My starting point for this collection was the history of Rochas and the unique universe it built along the way. I wanted to honor the brand’s heritage, but at the same time modernize it, bring it into today’s world. This collection is about dressing a sophisticated, mysterious but quirky Rochas woman.” — Charles de Vilmorin, designer
“These are the traditional Georgian dry fruit curtains that you can see everywhere in the villages in autumn. They are made of persimmon, and will be eaten through the winter.” — Irakli Rusadze, creative director
“Paris, where visions from the past forever dance with visions of the future.” — Ungaro by Kobi Halperin
“For us this collection was a puzzle without the instruction. There is a complete image that exists but we had to follow our intuition! During this work we saw the metamorphosis of the girl becoming a woman and a boy becoming a man, yet keeping the sparkle of a dream. We were experimenting with the elegance and the classics to define a strong DNA of Victoria/Tomas.” — Victoria/Tomas team
