It is always a pleasure to go to the showrooms when I am in Paris for a fashion week. This season I loved the work of Roberta Furlanetto, who worked in the couture atelier of Christian Lacroix for twenty years. She is now based in Milan. Her coats are really something special, a bit of haute couture at a ready to wear price.
Belgian Cathy Pill showed during couture week in January. Her coats and dresses are modern and well thought-out. The feeling is young and urban but without geographic borders.
Anne Valerie Hash has been showing her collections during couture week for several years. She takes her concepts literally—a baby sleeve attached to a floaty blouse. She appeals to arty, young fashion bohemians, and the top models want to do her show because she has a real currency now in the fashion world.
