Frank Sorbier Haute Couture Spring Summer 2022 - “Ode À La Vie”
This collection has turned out to be a true tsunami of successive waves. It was about coming back face-to-face with actors, divas, dancers, and models. Everything had to be given up and the true ambitions reviewed. Staying with the digital format is a lesser evil, and yet we ought to be grateful to be able to continue to express ourselves.
The spell is broken. Farewell to the enchanting little world of the banks of waterways inhabited by feverishness and carelessness. Forgotten, silent turtles, exuberant tree frogs, levant goldfish, delicate salamanders, fragile hummingbirds, and bewitching water spiers…
Water, oxygen, and light are essential for life on Earth. Water alone is crucial to animal and plant species. In fact, the human body is made up of 65 percent of water for the adult, 75 percent for the infant, and 94 percent for a three-day-old embryo. Scientists believe that water exists in abundance in other galaxies.
But let’s stay on Earth! The water war started a long time ago and the stakes are, still, underestimated by most of the inhabitants of our planet. As far back as we can see in the history of humanity, great civilizations have always been built around water. The Nile and the Egypt of the pharaohs are some of the indisputable proofs of this.
However, let’s not forget about the light. This season is placed under the sign of renewal and color. The word «source» deploys all its meanings.
For practicality, staging and shooting this collection in a flash, in a single day!
For artistic touches, find effective hooks:
A lively poet in the person of Luc Bruyère,
A floral composition as tender as dried out,
Fundamental questions,
An answer: the choice of Life,
Appeasement and zenithal light,
A dress in still life: The source of Life, A Muse with the hairstyle of a Freshwater Mermaid with a diaphanous complexion delicately poses.
Blur and focus alternate to define the image of a weightless dream.
Staged white Amaryllis, where Lady and Viktor found back their roots.
Organza and its color palette worthy of Johannes Itten’s theory have been abused,
pampered, and frayed all at once. Unweave, “pull the thread”, as we say, for eyelashes effects, pistils, or silk downs and show how a metamorphosis of matter.
