Balenciaga 2013 spring summer series

After singing a few cool and big women styles and "gender equality" neutral sex, the 2013 spring and summer women's dress not only recalled the feminine charming appearance, but also let the fashion fans turn their attention to young girls. Whether it is a delicate Mini colored blouse with delicate pink color, a beautiful body curve, or a smart chessboard and matching streak in the 60s of the last century, the popular vocabulary of this season basically spread with "feminization" as the starting point, and the design of the folds of lotus leaf is the most eye provoking.

Lotus leaf as a classic fashion element is not unusual to play a leading role in fashion. The lotus leaf elements appearing on the spring and summer overpass in 2013 are not the same as those in the previous season. First, in terms of visual design and tailoring, Designer More emphasis on three-dimensional structure, and secondly, its debut is no longer limited to the shoulder, cuffs and skirts of the conventional location, but as flowers are applied to more details. In addition, the design language represented by the lotus leaf also jumped from soft words such as soft, romantic, sweet, Princess dreams, and so on, with a strong feeling of fairy tales. Comme des Garcons's unruly, Gareth Pugh ghosts, Gucci's sexy charm, Givenchy Gothic and Balenciaga, Ralph Lauren's ardent fire is the best proof.

Baroque art prevailed in seventeenth Century. clothing The performance is folds and lotus leaves. The plucked pleat, untidy lace and dazzling ornaments made the aristocratic dress more elegant and magnificent. The Ruff collar, which has been popular since the middle of sixteenth Century, has gradually evolved from its collar to an independent decoration, and there have been many changes in form. The French ring, which was first built in France, uses a wavy fold with "8" shaped pleats. When making, use white or yellow, green, blue and other light colored linen or fine cotton cloth to cut and sizing, then use the conical iron to finish. It is said that this collar is very waste because of the large area and quantity of lotus leaf, and it consumes quite a lot of working hours, so it is only a patent of the nobility. It was not until the arrival of the industrialization era in nineteenth Century and the infection of the idea of "everything demanded efficiency first" that lotus leaf was regarded as a "boring decoration" to withdraw from the stage of male clothing and gradually become the most representative element of women's romantic elegance. {page_break}
