Vetements Catwalk Couture Show Paris FW2018

And so Vetements ended up at couture fashion week, which lead to us watching the most streetwise collection this week. Inspired by his youth, growing up in a war-torn Georgia Demna Gvasalia delivered not just a fashionable but more so a political message. One he transmitted through rebellious looking models wearing black masks, hoodies (one with a special cut-out for ponytails), ripped denim and joggers. They wore nude colored tattoo tops, flag printed (with the flags of Turkey and America amongst others) wind jackets and oversized bomber jackets, capes and coats. Their heels had upside down Eiffel towers key ring glued to them as a heel, while sneakers from Vetements latest collab with Reebok had spikes on their noses. There were matching futuristic spiked sunglasses as well, just like chokers and knee high socks. A pretty veiled bride felt like a breath of fresh air after all the harsh- and boldness. Calm after the storm of all that grunge.
