Designer CHARLES DE VILMORIN presented his Spring Summer 2022 Haute Couture Collection, that examines space between dreams and reality, with a fashion film by The Quiffs x Zite & Léo, on January 26th, during the ongoing Paris Fashion Week. The Macabre Waltz collection explores a carnival of the psyche, where passion and creativity overcome the fear. The designer highlights the importance of expressing yourself, and sends the message of hope.
“Oblivious of the critical eye. Living fully and passionately one’s own desires, fully immersed in that space between dreams and reality. Waltzing with ghosts when caught up in doubt, but always persevering, never losing that indestructible wild energy. These are 11 silhouettes that burn like fire, textures with shine and sparkle, feathers, fringing, an enormous transparent red cape. It’s a carnival of the psyche, where festivity clashes with fear, where demons and cursed skeletons can’t help but burst into laughter. A unique moment offered by the Haute Couture week to bring to life, with one’s own hands, what is going on in one’s own head. Deadline.” – from Charles de Vilmorin
