Excerpt: Courrèges. Fall 2025 - Paris Fashion Week.

 

"...But, is the deconstructive, avant garde fashion the 'look' to herald in a counterculture?  Probably not, as the artisan, drapey looks of the early 2000s, which petered out by 2018, with only a handful of designers left standing, where very much apolitical.  Rather, the said styles toyed with the idea of a dark and broken future, as a fashionable recourse.  And the fashion industry overall could be in a state of flux, as much as the world is or more so in a state of shock at how ruthless Trumpansim 2.0 is actually becoming. 

Di Felice has mixed the asymmetrical one piece mini skirts, oversized jackets, and a stylised rawer flow to the eros trend of 2020, which is still poking through as one of the stalwart fashion trends of the last four years.   Downplaying colour in the collection, and opting for the washed out monchomaic looks, with Courrèges's modernist inspired pink and reds.  Di Felice's latest array is not as risqué as previous collections, nor does it appear to be inspiring a newer direction for the brand."
