Calvin Luo Fall22 – Trailer – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Calvin Luo dived into the works of Helmut Newton to conceptualize his Fall/Winter 2022 Womenswear and Menswear Collection.“Le Smoking”, one of the photographer’s most emblematic images, was taken in a dusty Parisian alleyway (rue Aubriot) in pure elegant simplicity that remains the epitome of chic to this day. It is documented that Newton asked Vikebe Knudsen (the model) to incarnate a familiar figure in 19th-century French art: the dandy, who “has no profession other than elegance”, according to Beaudelaire. Le Smoking would not only mark a shift in fashion but in power. In the words of Pierre Bergé “It is a well-known fact that Chanel gave women their freedom; years later Saint Laurent brought them to power.”
