The winner of the 2023 ANDAM Pierre Bergé Prize played with trompe-l’oeil effects mimicking textile to augment his latex playbook.
Hide the telltale sound of latex by turning up the volume on the soundtrack and you’d be forgiven for thinkingTake matte stovepipe “jeans,” or a hooded robe-coat that seemed cut from astrakhan. Save for the padded lining of one bomber blouson, it’s “still all latex, all the time,” he said backstage before the show. “It’s about giving the impression it’s something else entirely.
He pushed further in metallics, developing platinum and gold hues, and also introduced a new take on the snakeskin effect seen last season — “it’s a raised pattern rather than a form of embossing and I like that better,” he added — as well as those faux-textile options. There was also footwear, with custom latex-covered Ugg slippers.
So if there was an air of familiarity to these sci-fi space opera silhouettes with dramatic trains and opulent hoods, marching amid concrete columns in the Institut du Monde Arabe, it was intentional.“I would rather perfect the universe I already have, rather than create a new one for each season,” he said.Privacy Policy
