Dear Shaded Viewers,
This was my first Jantaminiau Couture show in Paris and I was not disappointed. I'm always impressed with Jan's cutting skills, his creative use of fabrics and dramatic silhouettes. His clothes catch light in all its nuances and levels of intensity. Shimmery, reflective and luxurious are some of the words that define his work. His long dresses were fantastic.
Playing with shades of grey, silver and white, he imagined timeless pieces, which were both edgy and traditional. The collection managed to feel medieval and futuristic at the same time. It was a focused and poetic proposal.
Best,
Philippe
