COACH Spring 2020 Men’s & Women’s Runway Collection - mylifestylenews' Top 10's Pick

COACH held its Spring 2020 men’s and women’s collection for the brand on the Spur and Coach Passage, the newest sections of the High Line, in New York City.

The Spur features the High Line Plinth, the first site on the High Line dedicated solely to a rotating series of new, monumental, contemporary art commissions.

The start of a decade. Change, urgency and raw, authentic energy. A bright collision of beginnings, past and present.

Free spirits making their way across the High Line park in unapologetically practical sandals and sneakers. Real, grounded, connected open to the infinite possibilities of a fresh decade.

78 bags, each an archive design from one of the brand’s 78 years, authentically re-mastered.

The brand’s heritage graphically subverted with vibrant color, the electric attitude of New Wave and today’s new New Wave.

The energetic pop illustrations of Richard Bernstein playfully juxtaposed with Coach’s strong, straightforward leather-goods heritage. A purposeful synthesis of stripped-back and upbeat. This vivid, reimagined past, as dynamic as the city it’s made for.

The inaugural piece is titled Brick House by Simone Leigh, who was also in attendance at the show along with Robert Hammond, co-founder and executive director of the Friends of the High Line.

In honor of the show, the brand made a donation on behalf of each of the guests to the High Line’s Adopt-A-Plant program.

Emporio Armani SS2020 Visions & Dreams Collection - mylifestylenews' Top 10's Pick

Emporio Armani SS2020 Visions & Dreams Collection brought dreams into everyday life, painting the urban reality with new colours, suggesting new attitudes and emotions, and an unexpected lightness of spirit.

Unconventional by definition, and always open to individual interpretation, Emporio Armani defines a repertoire of possibilities through which each and every one can tell their story in complete freedom.

The collection vibrates; it is energetic.

Warm, dense tones, brightened by glossy and shiny surfaces like mirrors, pervade the whole collection, underlining its extreme lightness: bronze, intense tobacco, beige, brown mixed with green, green turning to blue, intense and muted blue, black and dark grey.

The silhouette is spontaneous and dynamic: unstructured single or double-breasted jackets are paired with wide palazzo or parachute pants, with organza surfaces that accentuate the absolute weightlessness.

Linen and jute fabrics, silks and cold-dyed viscose add a delicate, ethereal touch.

Shapes are created through a dialogue between the world of sport and the more formal one.

Sportswear is interpreted in classic patterns; shirts have drawstrings running at the hem, like sweatshirts; the washed suede track suits are soft, and feel almost fluid against the skin.

The story is dreamy and visionary, yet tangible. It is punctuated by accessories: multi-material sneakers with solid soles, large half-moon bags, spacious backpacks and small pouches, braces with functional snap-hooks.

DIOR SS2020 "Think We Must. We Must Think." Runway Collection - mylifestylenews' Top 10's Pick

 DIOR SS2020 ready-to-wear collection, Maria Grazia Chiuri drew inspiration from archival photographs of Catherine Dior – Christian Dior’s sister – showing her surrounded by flowers in her garden, her passion. An essential protagonist in Dior’s history, she was a courageous heroine of unique determination and force of character: she embodied Miss Dior. Not only was that her nickname, the House’s first, now-iconic

perfume was so named in her honor.

Catherine tended the Dior family’s gardens. She was a gardener in the most complete and profound sense of the term - a woman who cultivated freedom and independence, acting in harmony with nature and the cycle of the seasons.

This new collection evokes through its motifs and embroideries, through shine and the texture of raffia – a vision of luxuriant vegetation, presented in the manner of herbaria, living catalogues and the memory of botanical species.

For Maria Grazia Chiuri, these creations have little to do with nostalgia or the revival of a decorative tradition. Rather, they raise questions, like at the beginning of a long journey, about what caring for plants and flowers means today.

Though we are living in the Anthropocene era in which man rules the planet is it still possible to re-establish the balance of this relationship? Such questioning gives rise to concrete utopias, like that of Monte Verità, a community based on avant-garde ideas that was founded in Switzerland in the early 20th century, that has been a constant source of inspiration for all manner of artists ever since.

The aura of this singular place, built in the heart of nature, illuminates a series of dresses awash in color, from yellow to red. Conscious of the visibility and responsibility her role as Creative Director entails, Maria Grazia Chiuri wished to create an “inclusive garden”, a place of co-existence and diversity in which every gesture counts.

The scenography for the show was designed in collaboration with Coloco, an atelier committed to the collective art of cultivating gardens as a driver of urban inclusiveness. These landscape artists conceived the show like a moment suspended in time, where plants of diverse origins temporarily come together. The trees that appeared at the Paris-Longchamp hippodrome for the duration of this show will continue their journey, joining several long-term projects so that this pluralistic garden’s life may endure.

More than a décor, this ephemeral landscaping concept introduces the creation and reinforcement of wooded areas rich in a diversity of plant species, a symbol signifying that everyone can contribute to the cultivation and preservation of nature’s beauty - and our future.

As imagined by Maria Grazia Chiuri, the woman gardener observes the infinite and ongoing project that every parcel of land represents, however small or vast it may be. At once delicate and determined, this creative terrain is the expression of mindfulness and caring.

BOUCHERON Reinterprets The Maison Great Classics

Maison BOUCHERON’s most recognised and unmistakable signature creations, Question Mark necklace, revivied under the extraordinary creativity and craftsmenship of the Maison. Now, Creative Director Claire Choisne once again brings her personal vision to bear on the great classics that make up the rich heritage of the Maison founded in 1858, launching the 2020 Timeless High Jewelry collection that showcases two Boucheron signature codes. Boucheron and reinterpreting the Vendôme and the Liseré. Vendôme set Since 1858, the Maison Boucheron has been associated with the major trends in contemporary fashion and design. Its aesthetic vocabulary and stylistic grammar, galvanized by avant-garde techniques, have formed a language that expresses itself with equal ease in the convolutions of Art Nouveau and the abstraction of Art Deco. Designed around a decorative motif taken from the archives by Claire Choisne, the Vendôme collection embodies energy and elegance in the white gold of a sculptural necklace studded with brilliant-cut and baguette-cut diamonds. “I love this Chevron motif that is both timeless and contemporary, classic and current, of great plastic beauty,” says Boucheron’s Creative Director. “Its suppleness and its play of contrasts, especially on the necklaces, earrings and bracelets, provide wonderful demonstrations of skill from the workshops”, says Claire Choisne. This motif was first revived in the “26 Vendôme” collection. That High Jewelry collection was based on the architectural style of the famous square. The Vendôme bracelet is a happy union of opposites: “The sophisticated clasp can double as a central decorative element if so desired.” The wearer can thus change the Vendôme bracelet’s appearance to suit her mood. The bracelet combines the essential and the accessory, the useful and the aesthetic, paying homage in filigree to that unique spirit that gives Parisian women their charm.

Necklace

Liseré set

Appearing for the first time in the Hiver Impérial High Jewelry collection, the Boucheron Liseré translates the secret of a deep impression felt by Claire Choisne, the Maison’s Creative Director, when she was in the Moscow area once. “This collection pays tribute to the ties forged between Frédéric Boucheron and Russia. In preparation for this collection, we spent several weeks visiting the Golden Ring area. There was snow everywhere. The sky, the ground... everything was white. Then suddenly I saw a black line that turned out to be the bark of a tree trunk. There was a whole forest of white birch trees in front of us, but were it not for that dark line, I wouldn’t have had a clue it was there! It made an impression on me.” This intense, profound, but simple, memory has inspired a ring of great graphic purity, on which a line of black lacquer scalloped with baguette-cut diamonds forms the unique edging for a sparkly, sumptuous 10-carat emeraldcut diamond. “For me, this edging is the essence of modernity,” says Claire Choisne. “Its graphic brilliance gives the jewellery a mystical appeal and real personality.” The Liseré edging now borders an array of gemstones that shine brightly at the centre of contemporary and sculptural rings, earrings and bracelets.
