*Yesterday, Josep Font presented in Paris his latest collection. Once again, the Spanish designer, took distance from the mediocrity that floods the majority of international catwalks, showing his mastery and savoir-faire.
I can safely say, this is one of the few shows that have made me jump with joy from my chair and made me think about fashion as art.
Like puzzle pieces falling into place, Font conceived this 18Th century story -history itself- taking care of every single detail: from colours, to fabrics, embroideries, silhouettes or even the atmosphere.
More than dresses, these garments are works of art invested with life, capable of leaving behind feelings of astonishment.

hey!! so i've been disconnected from the internet for the past few days and i feel like i've missed out on so much already... josep font is quite the designer! i see a bit of mcqueen in his work, but overall it's a much more vibrant (and lighter) collection. thanks for sharing this :)
anyways i hope you'll enjoy paris (actually i'm sure you will). i'm planning to go there for a sunday/monday affair on the weekend of july 20th. maybe we'll cross paths? :P have fun!!
Oh, you are so right, certainly art. I love the patterned tights and the lacy ballet esque dresses. That lemon dress is rather fantastic too.
it looks a lot like Mcqueen latest show !! and with the fabrics made by Gaultier
Hi from Paris !

absolutely fantastic.
must say, i've never heard of Josep Font before, but I'll be keeping an eye out now.
The third image reminds me of Rodarte's latest collection.

^I wish, I saw it.
The ruffles, the pleats, the details! This is why I love haute couture!
Wow, truly amazing.
What a lovely collection!
It is such a great show! Everything is so creative - the colour, the cut and the silhouette! It is so inspirational! Thank you for the post and I seriously enjoy it xxxx
Some of it is a bit derivative (but then again...what isn't?)...I do love that second green dress though...rufflelicious!
i agree with the 'fashion as art', it really is present in this collection. embarassingly i would not have heard of this designer had i not read your blog. have fun in paris x
amazing. it is reminiscent of mcqueens ones as far as garments are concerned.
i luv this song. it makes me cry..
Definitely one of the most interesting collection around, love the exaggerated puff shapes.
and have fun in Paris! :D
It is inspiring to finally see a collection like this full of colour and with that gorgeus design. God save Josep!
Something about this reminds me of Frieda. Looks great!
