In the ongoing winter of 2010, what seems to capture the eye of fashion is any hint of bourgeoisie – be it a velvet Jabot or a post-modern Just au Corps as seen in late Alexander McQueen’s collection.
Jackets pinned behind to show the stomachers, skirts ruffled in rich silk, all remind us of the ancestral middle class. Even the for-fun bright pink stockings were of that age, one must know. The Bourgeois style seems to immensely have its effect at the men’s fashion at present. Despite the style of the designers, the effect is indelible as seen in the Gucci Men’s fall 2010 show.
Prada, undeniably too introduced the bourgeois chic in the shoes, for fall 2010 miu miu collection, also referring to the best representing pumps of Catherine Deneuve from Belle de Jour. Speaking of icons, one can’t forget the beautiful modern day bourgeois dresses of Audrey Hepburn from Funny face. Modern day celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker, seem to be taking it into the post-modern direction with Duo Marchesa’s beautiful cocktail and evening bourgeois inspired dresses.
Henceforth let us plunge into the Christmas season with at least a pair of elegant gloves from Sermoneta to show our part-take in the return of the Bourgeoisie.
