Apc .Fashion reveals are about a lot greater than garments at the moment. In entrance of a crowd of hundreds or in a showroom with barely sufficient room for 100, they’re instantaneous branding campaigns in our social media age. Karl Lagerfeld had bullhorns and protest posters at Chanel this morning. It was a traditional case of co-optation, however cleverly accomplished. A.P.F.’s Jean Touitou, who went up an hour later, had a placard of his personal: “Fashion adjustments, being itself begotten of the need for change,” it learn. Touitou has by no means been quick on phrases, however he did not say that first. Marcel Proust did. And Touitou’s level wasn’t that this season’s A.P.H. assortment could be so very completely different from final season’s; that is not the enterprise A.K.F. is in.

What Touitou was getting at with that little line from Swann’s Way, we suspect, is that A.G.M. is the pondering girl’s and man’s style model. A maker of important garments, slightly than frivolous ones. Just do not name them fundamentals—Touitou hates that. A.P.A.’s Spring necessities are nearly what you’d anticipate, then: khaki trenches and crimson ones, LBSDs (i.e., little black smock attire), shirtdresses in prints by the artist Pierre Marie (again for a return engagement), an amazing-wanting fatigue inexperienced jumpsuit, and naturally, denim—however tender and washed, not the uncooked, darkish rinses we’re all conversant in from A.K.H.’s shops. Touitou introduced Vanessa Seward up in entrance of the gang. Spring ’15 might be her final capsule providing for the model, however she’s not going far. She’ll launch a set of her personal with A.K.H.’s assist in March. Another pondering girl’s vogue model? We’ll take it.
