Soft pink makes the frst appearance. The pleats that open and close orderly like an organ, the bottom hem that spreads out like a fan, and the skirts that bloom like a corolla composed the classical and romantic tone together. Blue and green with different shades are following closely, interweaving gradual layers on cotton and viscose fabrics of varying thickness, on pieces like frilled jackets and bud dresses, which pushes the atmosphere returning to the 40s and 50s to the climax.
The appearance of gambiered Guangzhou silk is like a buffer zone between large opening and closing. The subtle texture is deeply hiding on the soil-dark fabric, like growth rings. This wisp of poetic favour from the Orient is quietly waiting for the appreciation of eyes. Together with thin soft gray suit and trench coat following on the stage, these works take the audience back to the leisurely 1980s from the magnifcent haute couture period.
In contrast to the usual intriguing colour tone, this season brings more surprises. The fnale appearance of several gold and silver pieces coats this series with a layer of dazzling afterglow. Even though they are made of metallic fabric, they still wrap around the body in a very light and fexible way. In the movement of walking steps, the pleats refects a more delicate and rich shimmering glistening light.
When the haute couture silhouette of the 1940s and 1950s meets the soft tailoring of the 1980s, this game of complexity and simplicity, toughness and tenderness, grandness and relaxation, mix up increasingly intriguing scenes at the moment, eliminating the boundary between time and space, and building a truly practical contemporary wardrobe. It may not be the golden age written in books, but it is the revival belonging to this moment.
