Courrèges Resort 2026 - Lookbook
Nicolas Di Felice fascination with the hyperreal remains, that is of the digital world, more so the social media feedback loops, seen specifically at his Fall 2023 Courrèges showing, with models staring intensely at the phones as they walk in and around a rectangular runway. As the fashion industry awaits Demna Gvasalia to reveal his Gucci 'Resort' collection on the 15th, May 2025, the Georgian antithesis fashion designer of Balenciaga Fame, was one of the first who has been experimenting over the years with the digital hyperreal, playing around on the idea or transfixation of how the mobile phone, aesthetically, and socially is reshaping our perception of reality.
And Di Felice has been reworking the late André Courrèges futurist imprint and Courrèges distinctly modernist 1950 boxy styles, since he began his creative direction for the brand in 2020. Inserting his love for 1970s carnal, as a romanticized reflection of the counterculture years which followed Courrèges futurism, and the collapse of modernism, which went on well into the 1980s. Yet, Di Felice's romanticism of 70s amatory has mostly overshadowed Courrèges space faring inspired, sleekness of the future-that-never-was, and this can very much be seen with his Resort 2026 collection.
Utilizing models as they own photographers via the selfie, as sort of take on social media uploads of single people wandering around Paris and taking shots of themselves within the iconic city. Except, each model for the Resort 2025 lookbook, would have an entourage of makeup artists, stylists and Di Felice ensuring that each photo has a certain standard. So, anyone persistently taking selfies of oneself, who is not part of the fashion industry, take note how it can down with the model esque look. But keep in mind, the 'shot' may not be as random or spontaneous as you may like.
The Courrèges Resort 2025 styles, have showcased Di Felice's ability to mix his hedonistic overtures, and Courrèges modernist stylizations. With the lookbook mostly reflecting an ensemble of street wear styles, jackets, tops and miniskirts. Overlaid with the amorous styles of thigh high slips, sheer tops and slip dresses.
A smattering of sexy, modernist, avant-garde styles, for a future of the now, where anyone can be a fashion model for the day, with one's own camera. Or at least pretend to be, in our simulacrum, hyperreal society.
