Jean-Paul Gaultier passes the needle to Nicolas di Felice
Since 2020, the year when Jean-Paul Gaultier retired from the catwalks, the couturier hands over each season to a different designer so that he can freely interpret his fashion troublemaker style. After Chitose Abe (Sacai), Glenn Martens (Y/Project and Diesel), Olivier Rousteing (Balmain), Haider Ackermann, Julien Dossena (Rabanne) and Simone Rocha, it is Nicolas di Felice's turn to design the couture collection Gaultier. The latter arrives only three years after joining Courrèges as artistic director: a great recognition of his talent in having been able to modernize this house with futuristic origins. 2024 seems to be a year of consecration for Di Felice, who managed to double the turnover of the house in 2023, presented a very nice fashion show last month and will chair the fashion jury of the 39th edition of the International Festival of fashion, photography and accessories in Hyères from October 10 to 13, 2024. In addition, Courrèges plans to open four stores in 2024, including one flagship in the Marsh. See you during the next haute couture week (June 24 to 27) in Paris, to see how the designer appropriates Gaultier.

Celine launches into beauty
It was in 1971 that Céline Vipiana, the founder of the Celine house, chose the chain link of the Arc de Triomphe as the label's monogram. In 2018, Hedi Slimane redesigned this historic logo and named it “Triomphe”. He also made it the emblem of his new winter 2024 collection which he calls “Arc de Triomphe” and which has just been unveiled on celine.com: it is inspired by the 1960s and traces the origins of the house. The designer took advantage of this fashion show to present the house's first makeup line. On the models' lips, we see a natural pink called “La Peau Nue”, which will only be available in 2025. The “Le Rouge Celine” line includes fifteen shades including “Rouge Triomphe” which will be released next fall . Needless to say, it's going to be a hit…
Summer 2025 will be sweet
Dutch visionary Li Edelkoort, founder of the trend office Trend Union, sees spring-summer 2025 as a season where we will reconnect with the sweet things of childhood. As if to escape the stressful daily life, we will want to immerse ourselves in the fantasy and naivety of our childhood. Which translates in fashion to very pale pastel colors and brighter candy shades like those of little gummy bears. We are in a world of treats. In the same register, the proportions of the clothes are also inflated for a “ Marshmallow Mood » which will make the hips wider. Being adorned with soft colors and plump shapes to face the harshness of reality, this will be our look in 2025!
