Christian Audigier says that the subject matter of his Spring 2008 collection shown at LA’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on Tuesday afternoon is `La Vie en Rose,` however a better moniker might be `Trashy French Vamp,` or even `Flashdance on Acid,` primarily based at the styles he sent down the black-carpet-and-glitter runway.
The guys fared higher than the ladies within the Audigier show; they commonly wore his signature wildly patterned oversize hoodies, all embellished with the designer’s name and various other motifs, normally done in glittery crystals, studding, and embroidery. Most were paired with jeans, encrusted with Audigier’s big signature across the bottom, again accomplished in glitter, every now and then paired with a massive cranium, different instances with comparable tattoo-stimulated motifs. There became a army bent to most of the men’s styles, too; the first male model even wore a navy beret and saluted the photographers on the quit of the runway. Vests have been large, too, and long, slouchy cutoff pants introduced a street gang vibe.
To make sure the girls in the audience (consisting of Brandy, Bai Ling, and chart-topping singer Bettina) were given a little eye candy, the clothier sent some male fashions out wearing nothing however a skimpy pair of camouflage underwear, then delivered a variation of hooded superhero capes worn over the underwear, unzipped for impact at runway’s cease. One became but that skin show was not anything to what Christian Audigier supplied on the ladies. There become the white micro-mini tee-shirt dress, worn over tan panties, garter belt, and sheer stockings ; the black bra, garter belt, and sheer stockings worn with a extensive-open olive-toned raincoat; skin-tight patterned gold leggings worn with a slouchy, off-the-shoulder patterned tee (sun shades of `Flashdance` and Eighties fashion there); and a black bra, paired with a black feather boa, and a see-thru pair of tan knickers worn over black panties. Hooker elegant, indeed, and the kind of streetwear that sends a operating-lady message.
Audigier’s capper, a sequence of seems that combined absolutely sheer tulle skirts in vibrant colours of crimson, green and electric blue showing the panties and garters beneath, paired with hoodies and matching berets, are an evening look that isn’t always in all likelihood to make it to any Hollywood crimson carpets.
But as David Hasselhoff, who brought his teenage daughter Hayley to see the gathering, commented to Audigier after the show, `I preferred it; the girls appeared notable!` No phrase on whether or not he will permit his female display her Audigier underwear in public, but.
