FRANK SORBIER

Frank Sorbier is known for always going as close as possible to the borders of fashion, and he proved it again with his FW12 Couture collection. More than a show, a set, in a Parisian theatre in which the scene had been transformed into a catwalk. When the lights were turned on, we didn’t understand at once what was going on: a model in black moving her hand as if trying to hypnotize a model dressed in a huge white dress (heaven and hell? Good and bad?). And then it started and the whole audience let a “oh” escape. Lightning on the white dress, as if turned into a movie screen: aquarium, floral animations or lines running around it. Then the full collection was presented, in tones of brown and black. A clock print high waist large dress was shown, as if to remember Sorbier is always ahead of his time. by Samuel Schler
