If there had been a fashion show in “The Matrix” sci-fi franchise, it would have looked like Avellano's fall show.
Over the years, the French latex specialist has built up his own wardrobe with dusters, fitted holsters and five-pocket straight-leg jeans, accessorised for fall with long, loose shirts, jumpsuits and the addition of a bottle green colourway. translucent. .
Noah Cyrus, who recently appeared in the brand's spring campaign, opened and closed the show dressed in the biggest news, which also coincided with the brand's two shopping avenues.
Her most striking outfit was the final one, a dress with bare shoulders and a 10-meter train. This dramatic number was made of latex that Avellano had thinned to a satiny hand and had a snowy hue that was a new development as the material previously had a yellow tint to its white.
But the one that showed the greatest evolution was the open-top bomber jacket, part of a collaboration with the American clothing manufacturer Schott, which also produced quilting. It's a category Avellano had long wanted to explore, but developing it independently was expensive and ultimately too challenging.
“For them, latex also makes sense because it is windproof, waterproof and the latest in technology. [materials] They are close to the fabric so that they last over time,” said designer Arthur Avellano. “This is what will allow me to further democratize my technique and expand our range in a more ready-to-wear direction.”
