‘’I imagined the show as the famous surrealist diner-de-tête Rothschild at the Château de Ferrières in 1972’’, Alexandre Vauthier explained backstage before his latest Haute Couture show. ‘’It’s almost a story of personnages. Women have very diverse horizons and their uniqueness is what constantly inspires me’’. He worked on a rather extensive variety of shapes and volumes: Sharp tailoring and robes-boulle, ethereal flou and ultra-theatrical volumes, and goddess-like draping and profusions of ruffles all played against strong-shouldered ’80s mini dresses.
