Alexandre Vauthier and the Siren Song of the 80s
by Olivia Moreau
Alexandre Vauthier likes the 80s and his couture collection gave every indication that he is reviving the disco-excellence and big-hair-exuberance of ’80s haute couture.The shoulder-padded base layers, the glittery sway of supermodels, the see-through levity of sheer fabrics were all the rage during the 80s and Vauthier teased out the best of that era in that collection. The elegance to which he approaches this collection is worth noting and the alpaca, fur, and silk are just the cherry on top.
