Paris, France – “It’s so nice to see elegant garments for real women to wear.” These are the words that this writer found himself uttering to another fashion editing upon exiting Paule Ka’s presentation at the Jardin des Plantes this afternoon in Paris. And it is indeed an excellent work.
The house’s artistic director, Alithia Spuri-Zampetti found her inspiration for the new Spring/Summer 2017 collection thanks to a trip to Japan. There is where she came up with the idea of creating a composition of work with a dreamlike but very real summer feeling about it. In essence, she has sought to combine the austerity of Japanese culture with her own ideas on fluidity. The result is fifty looks that cover the essential aspects of a chic woman’s wardrobe.
Silk, fine cotton blends, jacquards are brought together in silhouettes including sophisticated pieces that pass effortlessly from the needs daywear to after 5:00pm needs. Cocktail and gowns appear in a multitude of tropical colors. Spuri-Zampetti embellishes the looks with appliqués, strings, ribbons and feathers. And the added bonus about the work is that offers women an option for modern couture.
