Minimalissimo

Christophe Lemaire SS 2015

fashion

There has always been something so effortless about the way that Christophe Lemaire executes his cuts and silhouettes on the fabrics. Partnering up with Sarah-Linh Tran, his namesake label's collection for Spring Summer 2015 is extra-enchanting with an easy, breezy vibe that many brands try to imitate.

That ease exists in every fold and crease of the knee-length skirts, light trenches, belted dresses, and especially that one single sleeveless floral dress. In the spacious venue of the Bibliothèque de France, there is a presence of an invisible wind that made everything flow, and perhaps the only fixated thing are the viewers' eyes on the garments. The exposed shoulders and deep neck cuts add a sensual element that communicates luxury that's completely against what fashion conceives as luxurious as of late: the cool factor.

The minimalism that Lemaire is after in this collection suggests a femininity that might be seen as ordinary, but never mediocre. After all, leaving Hermès can only mean more focus and complexity to the future of Christophe Lemaire.
