Paris Fashion Week: Ziad Nakad, Spring/Summer 2019 Collection – Dazzling, Sexy, Ultra Glamorous


C'est une collection inspirée par l'extravagance de la Marquise Luisa Casati que nous propose Lena Erziak. Luisa a marqué son temps par ses extravagances et son allure théâtrale en donnant notamment de grands bals masqués placés sous le signe du faste, elle a côtoyé ainsi à la fois le milieu mondain et les artistes d'avant-garde. Ses excentricités et sa beauté lui forgèrent une réputation de femme fatale et contribuèrent à sa célébrité.

Elle époustoufla l'assemblée en se promenant avec des guépards en laisse, et en portant des serpents vivants en guise de bijoux. Ses soirées y étaient légendaires. Casati y rassembla une ménagerie d'animaux exotiques, et devint mécène de grands créateurs de mode.
