We love the lingerie-as-outerwear trend we’re seeing these days, and we were especially drawn to the details of John Paul Gaultier‘s Spring 2010 collection. As you can see, Gaultier was responsible for the Madonna cone bra that was inescapable in the 90s. Somehow now that we see it in a runway setting it looks more sophisticated and high-fashion. The sheer blouse layered over the statement bra is definitely a look that can be pulled off in ‘real life’.

Rad Hourani

September 15, 2009

Montréal-raised designer, Rad Hourani‘s, collection for Spring 2010 screams, ‘Montréal’. I remember the first time I met Rad in 2006 (then, a stylist) at a fashion party in Montréal and looking around me at all the ‘fashion types’ and noting the Montréal fashion-elite uniform in full-swing. Everyone looked like they could have modeled in Hourani’s runway show; skintight black silhouettes, angular elements mixed with the soft; each harbouring an appreciation for Rick Owens‘ assymetry and imperfection, Helmut Lang‘s androgyny, and Denis Gagnon‘s sense of proportion. Hourani’s latest collection assumes the best aspects of the Montréal design and style scene and manages to articulate them in an original and exciting way. Photos: Style.com
