ALEXANDRE VAUTHIER INTERVIEW

ALEXANDRE VAUTHIER DESIGNER

Passionate and determined, Alexandre Vauthier joined Thierry Mugler studio right after his fashion studies. To Vauthier, Mugler represents the absolute master of garment architecture. Spending 4 years at Thierry Mugler, Vauthier was introduced and then became part of the lofty world of haute couture.

After Thierry Mugler, Alexandre Vauthier joined Jean Paul Gaultier as Head Designer of the still nascent couture collection. This rich 8 years of experience strengthened Vauthier’s desire to realize his own fashion house.

His skills honed at Gaultier and Mugler, Alexandre Vauthier added another facet to his aesthetics by professional collaborations in Japan and numerous trips to the U.S.

Inspired by the French culture as well as influenced by the Anglo-Saxon mores, Vauthier takes the best from both worlds wherein he reworks the traditional code of elegance and transposes them in his modern vision.

In January 2009, during Paris Couture Week, he presented his first own couture collection at La Maison des Métallos.

Irish singer-songwriter and music producer, Roisin Murphy, convinced of Vauthier ‘s talent, has supported him from the very first moment. Murphy walked the runway on his first show and wears Vautheir’s creations for public appearances.

The makeup, the hair, the music contributed to a mood that was like silent-movie expressionism: stark and dark. It inspired a strong show whose single-minded message was rammed home by repetition. Demeulemeester claimed the notion of protection defined the collection. So there were buckled breastplates, quilted obis, and funnel collars rearing up over the face, all of them cocooning the body in defensive ways. At the same time, these structured items loaned a sculptural quality that felt new for Demeulemeester. If in the past she has offered flowing, poetic volumes, this collection found power in restraint: the military precision of a fitted jacket and short skirt, the volume of a parka cooped up under a fencing jacket. The designer hiked a skirt high on one thigh and let the rest of it fall to the floor on the other leg, a perfect paradigm for control and release. Quite how that notion translates to the shop floor is a matter for Demeulemeester and her store buyers, but the feel of this collection was definitely tighter and more contemporary, more sci-fi, less neo-medieval.
