\n\tLudovic de Saint Sernin chose to explore his aristocratic heritage with his spring collection, digging into his family history \u2014 and self-doubts \u2014 with an emotionally charged lineup of feminine, romantic references.<\/p>\n
\n\tAt a preview, the designer said he had been inspired by his grandmother, who died two years ago, to explore historic references. \u201cFor my Gaultier couture show, I dedicated one of the looks to her, a beautiful white lace suit,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been reconnecting with her since her passing, she\u2019s kind of been more present than ever.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tHis family\u2019s modesty meant he never came out to his grandmother, he said, which he regrets. \u201cPart of my work since I started the brand was about my coming out story. But I\u2019ve never associated it with my heritage and where I come from,\u201d he said, something accentuated by taboos about being an aristocrat in France. \u201cI wanted it to feel like a blend of what my own personal experience has been as a queer designer with what has come before me and what has led me to become who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tDe Saint Sernin said he wanted the collection to take \u201ca more romantic, subtle and refined\u201d direction with embroideries and trims, as well as cut and pattern. \u201cIt\u2019s a collection that feels more feminine. It\u2019s less openly sexual and dark than before,\u201d the designer explained.<\/p>\n
\n\tSignature lace, corsetry and lacing details were combined with fluid ivory silk, regal purple devor\u00e9 velvet or liquid sequins, but there was nothing period about this edgy contemporary wardrobe. Slinky dresses covered the breasts but were otherwise transparent, while leather details came by way of wide belts, and cutout panels highlighted the body. There were also more tailored pieces in the lineup.<\/p>\n
\n\tFor his look book, he recruited friends of the house Emma Chamberlain, Alexa Chung, Sebastian Croft and Corey Fogelmanis, his evocation of a new nobility defined not by heritage, but by influence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ludovic de Saint Sernin chose to explore his aristocratic heritage with his spring collection, digging into his family…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56681,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,29439,85,46,11092,20977],"class_list":["post-56680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-fashion-shows","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-paris-fashion-week","tag-runway"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56680\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
