Paris Fashion Week

La Mademoiselle

March 02, 2019

 

The startling beauty of Valerie Garmino’s latest collection came to blossom at the emblematic 18th century hotel Le Bristol Paris located on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

The venue, show and production at the Le Bristol Paris was dedicated exclusively to designer Valerie Garmino.

THE VENUE

A sumptuous oak paneling patina by history, baccarat crystal chandeliers, antique wooden furniture, impressive mirrored windows, embroidered curtains and a beautiful dusty pink floral arrangement, all in pure 18th century French style created a unique elegant atmosphere for the perfect scenario to welcome La Mademoiselle Collection.

HIGH TEA

 

Chef Julien Alvarez, a world pastry champion, created a delicious custom-made dessert inspired by Valerie Garmino’s emblem, the rose.

Guests indulged an elegant high tea, champagne and hors d'oeuvres while watching the fashion show.

BACKSTAGE

Daniela Bell (lead makeup artist) and other artists from Make Up For Ever Paris were in charged to coordinate and put the designer’s vision into reality.

THE SHOW

The show opened with a powerful and mysterious resonance that moved the listener subtle but powerful into to the collection’s mood.

The designer wanted to create a deeper and more meaningful connection with the audience. For this reason, she selected melodies with incredibly wide and spacious stereo soundscape before swelling into a beautiful climax.

These melodies were built from layers of meditative choral bass and entropic piano that went from deep groove, electro and tech house transitions into an intense chord progression that evoke moments of real magic.

The iconic and award winner Valentina blouse paired with a high waisted skirt was the first outfit of the show. The lineup continued with looks that blend volume and minimalist European aesthetic. Timeless and sophisticated coats and capes from the finest baby alpaca and Loro Piana cashmere were showcased in the runway. Show-stopper blouses made of luxury pima cotton, French lace, and silk drown the attention and applauses from the audience.

THE LOOK

The designer’s intention for the collection is to show a woman who feels comfortable with her natural and effortless beauty which comes from within.

A pink and coral palette was the prescribed hue to obtain a fresh face style. A luminous skin, subtle blush, a hint of color on the lips and full browns were essentials to obtain a natural and beautiful look. All the models worn Valerie Garmino lashes.

Loose waves and pony tails with a silk black ribbon were part of an effortless and chic hair style. Some of the models worn French fascinators as a statement of elegance and refinement.

Some looks included shine silver and black dot stockings with 3D handmade flowers made of chiffon and Swarovski’s.

For Garmino, the overall look had to be impeccable and well-coordinated from head to toe in order to achieve her desired style for the show.
