Giorgio Armani Privé Couture Summer 2021. The recipe of Haute Couture: unrestrained creativity, the rigour of tradition, the jealously guarded artisanal secrets of the petites mains, a tireless work ethic and a pinch of fairy dust which imbues each look with a magical glow.

Valentino Couture Summer 2021
Valentino Couture Summer 2021. Gold, Venetian masks painted gold, bright colors and overwhelming Romanticism of Pierpaolo Piccioli, creative director of House Valentino, is the whole new story of House Valentino for Summer 2021 season. And let us hope that these bright colors will lighten up our hearts with hope and inspire us for greatness.
“When I first started to work on this show, I had clear in mind what I wanted to see. The essence of couture lays on how the couture is done and most of all by who is done. It lays in the ability of seamstress and tailors to manipulate fabrics and threads through a process that transcend the mere execution. We create together and while we do it the creation itself changes whoever is involved in the making. it’s a mutual exchange in which everything is transformed. Now we are here, ready to show the outcome of our journey. What you see here is the result of months, days and hours of the work of the incredibly talented, gifted, human beings that works in the Valentino Atelier. I can’t think of anything better than a princely residence, in our home, Roma, to reveal the real nobility of their job. I am proud of what we did. I am proud of this team and with them by my side, anything is possible. This is now, this is the future, no gender boundaries, no boundaries at all. This is fashion, this is couture.” – creative director of Maison Valentino Pierpaolo Piccioli.
Chanel Couture Summer 2021
Chanel Couture Summer 2021 “Flowers and LESS KITSCH”. Review by Eleonora de Gray, Editor-in-Chief of RUNWAY MAGAZINE.
It is indeed a shiny summer, in the paradise. Simple looks, peasant silhouettes, flowers… and like CEO of Chanel Bruno Pavlovsky recently put it in his interview to Belgian Newspaper “Le Soir” – “less kitsch”, compare with the time when Karl Lagerfeld designed Chanel: “The truth is that Virgine Viard has discreetly but effectively refined and restructured the Chanel wardrobe: there is less emphasis and eccentric accessories, less kitsch, for more luxurious, universal and timeless pieces, which will cross the seasons… Every day, Virginie’s talent surprises me a little more, she has such an understanding of what Chanel represents. But she also has, in my opinion, a very correct idea of the new image she wants to give to our customers; and which is singularly in tune with our times.”
That says it all. New images of Chanel, simple, affordable, which proposes massive public sales… and flowers… lots and lots of flowers of course. From rich Haute Couture to very casual Ready-to-Wear and more…
Schiaparelli Couture Spring Summer 2021
Schiaparelli Haute Couture Spring Summer 2021. The beginning of 2021 became a real creative explosion for French fashion house Schiaparelli and its creative director Texan Daniel Roseberry. “Creativier and Creativier!” said Daniel Rosberry like a magic spell, and he got himself for Christmas a Kim Kardashian to dress like a superwoman or Christmas tree, whichever comes first. Kim got her the six pack bodice, in molded leather rubbed to be Jaguar green, and the skirt in absinthe silk velvet.
Then another very successful moment and actually very important moment in American history for all United States was the dress Lady Gaga wore for the Inauguration of Joe Biden January 20th 2021. Lady Gaga sang National anthem in absolutely spectacular dress created for this occasion by Daniel Roseberry.
And last but not least Daniel Roseberry decided to do the photoshoot of his new Spring Summer 2021 Haute Couture Collection himself. Designer and photographer?.. Who was the last one we knew and who’s place was dark and empty for some time?… Daniel photographed himself spectacular surrealistic pieces the way he saw them. Absolute success!

Christian Dior Couture Summer 2021
Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring Summer 2021. Monsieur Dior was famously superstitious and, in a perpetuation of House history, this Haute Couture Spring Summer 2021 collection is a story of premonitions, tarot and all mysteries of the world. Maria Grazia Chiuri after many experiments in peasant looks and “Bobo simplified extravaganza” decided to give the wheel of the haute Couture collection to the designers of the Dior House. And this is collection is absolutely fabulous unity of the classic silhouette of Dior House and savoir-faire.
Tarot cards are among the keys to accessing the magical realm, to explore the unknown while fearlessly looking deep inside oneself. In uncertain times marked by a palpable desire to reconnect with the world’s soul, through the spring-summer 2021 haute couture collection, the mysterious and pluralistic beauty of the tarot in a series of dresses featuring virtuoso constructions; manifest proof that couture remains the ultimate territory of experimentation and possibility.
A series of extraordinary evening gowns features abstract constructions, some with veritable bas-relief openwork bodices punctuated with illustrations by Pietro Ruffo. In this spirit, the roman artist created a singular deck of cards in which characters disclose the graphic energy of the symbols. Dior gray appears in tweed, cashmere and organza on shirts, skirts, pants and capes. Meanwhile, the bar jacket is revisited in black velvet, its curves reinterpreted to express a new attitude.
Decorated by the illuminator Bonifacio Bembo for the Duke of Milan in the 15th century, this tarot deck illustrates the marvelous tale of this collection. Splendid cards embellished in gold, enamel, and vegetal and geometric interlacing have a solemn and enigmatic presence, revealing an inner journey, like an adventure of self-discovery. A voyage to the heart of a castle populated by characters embodying the major arcana who question and disorient, inviting the viewer to look at the world from a new perspective. In the director’s interpretation, this quest surpasses gender boundaries, presenting a synthesis of masculine and feminine in a new heraldic mythology evoking the enchanted worlds Matteo Garrone loves.
A clairvoyant asks to draw a card in a deck designed as a catalogue of possibilities, a cryptic dictionary of the world. The high priestess, the empress, justice, and the fool are notably sublimated through excellence of savoir-faire celebrating the art of weaving: lace is inlaid with hand-painted embellishments, golden velvet is enlivened with the signs of the zodiac and precious jacquards are sprinkled with stars, while a cape in multicolored feathers showcases 3d volumes in this story, the insider always needs the feminine complement and vice versa, because only such a fusion makes it possible to approach a formative path leading to self-awareness. As Italo Calvino points out in the castle of crossed destinies: “the world has to be read upside-down”.
