Haute couture has always given people the impression of elegance, magnificence, and delicacy. However, this season at Paris Haute Couture Week, an extremely bizarre show took place, overturning the public’s imagination of haute couture. It’s about the first haute couture collection from the American fashion brand Pyer Moss, where the runway not only featured models covered in “hair rollers” from head to toe, but also giant “peanut butter,” “traffic lights,” “refrigerators,” and more… It was dubbed as the most out-of-control haute couture fashion show in history.
This is the first haute couture show by brand founder and creative director Kerby Jean-Raymond, who is also the first black designer to be invited to the Paris haute couture fashion show schedule, which is of great significance. Kerby Jean-Raymond pays special tribute to black culture, with the theme of “Black Invention,” and chooses to hold the fashion show at the estate of self-made black female millionaire C.J. Walker.
Each set of clothing in the series is full of topics, but the appearance is not the same as the high-end fashion that everyone is familiar with. From the “hair curl” hairstyle that drags from the head to the ground, it is visually spectacular. From the model’s laborious steps, you can also feel the weight of the materials; there are also eye-catching pillar-shaped “traffic lights”, voluminous “peanut butter”, and the “fire escape” shape worn outside the tight-fitting clothes. Will Pyer Moss’s haute couture become the battle armor for female stars on the red carpet? Perhaps only Katy Perry can master it!
