How the past and future meet in modern collections of the famous designers

This season, many fashion designers who were fans of futurism returned to the retro style in their collections. Such tricks have occurred in the Paco Rabanne collection. Chainmail dresses have been replaced with clear crystals and lightweight plastic was replaced by metal sequins.

The aesthetic turn performed by the designer Julien Dossena produces the same effect as Stanley Kubrick’s techniques. In the final scene of the Space Odyssey, the director placed the protagonist in a red spacesuit in a sterile room-hall filled with relics of high human culture: figurative furniture in the style of Louis XVI, bucolic frescoes and antique sculptures in the niches of the walls.

The current creative director of Louis Vuitton House, Nicolas Ghesquiere, accustoms women to bulky silhouettes based on military and aerospace uniforms, neoprene and latex micro-dresses and ultra-narrow trousers. Who, for example, can forget the gladiatorial leggings from the 2007 Balenciaga spring-summer collection, in which Beyonce flaunted during the time of her alter ego Sasha Fierce?
