THE GANGSTERS – COUTURE FW12/13
Gangsters or The Allure of the Unlawful
A lingering gaze into the shady realm of crime, Gangsters is a collection driven by the aesthetics of felony. Inspiration is drawn from the outlaws of the Wild West and the Walter Hill’s “Warriors” in NYC to the crooks of 19th century Paris and, of course, Michael Jackson’s smooth criminals.
Looks explore the limits of dark femininity and androgynous allure, mixing light and fluid fox fur with the more brittle beaver pelt and the insolence of the long-haired goat. Lambskin leather and damask refine the silhouette in pursuit of criminal beauty.
Quentin Véron extends his vision to menswear for the first time this season with a collection of pieces affirming that fur is the preserve not only of the female.
