Haute Couture Takes It Down 1000

Paris Fashion Week’s Autumn/Winter 2009 Haute Couture collections were what you might expect, a parade of fanciful if not outlandish, beautifully crafted clothing. Portuguese designer, Felipe Oliveira Baptista’s contribution was a refreshingly casual and approachable display of clothing that was at the same time tidy, and carefree. The shapes were minimalistic and organic, highlighting the blocks of color that dominated. The palette was perhaps the most distinguishable element of the collection, with color combinations hinting at a Korean or Japanese influence. The collection bears a loose resemblance to the one we wrote about last year by upstart label Whitley Kros.
