"The
tomboy is back," read the program notes at Corrado de Biase's Paris fall-winter
show that served up floaty silhouettes with a twist of menswear.
It was an accomplished affair considering it's only the third ready-to-wear offering from the Italian-born designer,canada goose sale cheap with Barbour raincoats successfully fused on top of sheer 1920s underskirts.
Petrol green added futuristic shimmer to quilted capes and jackets, crossing eras in style and time, while 3-D floral brocades — on several short coats and pencil skirts — were given an aggressive edge in metallic silver.
A lot this fall has been about menswear on women, and here this was on full display. Classical tailoring appeared in boyish collars and lapels on nylon shirtdresses in sheer black, but the exposed breasts punched spectators with the clear androgyny.
For the designer's inspiration, look no further than the biggest tomboy of her day: Mademoiselle Chanel.
"I love the garcon look of the twenties," said de Biase backstage, "how Coco gave bourgeois women a men's look while staying light in spirit."
For the fashion crowd it was a good thing the spirits were light: the cramped venue and lighting glitches might have dampened the mood had the collection not been so strong.
