Chris Gelinas spent the final seven months rising up. The fledgling expertise, who was quick-listed as a finalist for the inaugural LVMH Young Fashion Designer Prize, supplied up a Spring ’15 assortment that was extra effectively-rounded, thought-about, and technically spectacular than the 2 that got here earlier than it. “After my expertise with the LVMH prize, and seeing all of the fantastic designers in that group, I felt extra motivated,” mentioned Gelinas throughout his presentation on the Standard Hotel. “I wished to indicate extra vary, extra embroidery, and extra capabilities.”
Show them he did. Gelinas newest outing was based mostly across the thought of uniformity—and breaking away from it. His Spring girl’s evolution from suited stickler to wild baby was expressed fairly actually. Models on one finish of his lineup have been proven in strict, bonded khaki seems to be: a safari-esque high and ruffled skirt, a brief tulip costume, and a mini topped with a windbreaker. But although these items have been meant to signify the tame, or “boring,” a part of the journey, if you’ll, they had been elevated with the cleverest little particulars. For occasion, that windbreaker was trimmed in colourful wire piping—maybe the primary indicators of liberation for Gelinas’ femme. The subsequent signal of sartorial launch was a sculptural teal peplum belt that popped towards a camel shorts and ruffled shirt ensemble. The cincher was printed with a black grid, a motif Gelinas first encountered whereas visiting his sister when her house was below development. “I was having breakfast together with her, and I was like, ‘Why is these items so lovely? And why is it simply going beneath shingles?’ So I ripped off a chunk. I thought it had nice coloration and proportion.” He carried the sample into his set design, a silk shirtdress (the draping and gathering on which was pretty), a tech-y silk organza tee, and different items. From there, it advanced right into a honeycomb sample, which actually stood out when juxtaposed with a poppy-hued floral print on a flouncy jacquard costume. The frock was voluminous within the entrance, however when the mannequin spun round you may see that Gelinas had in-built a fitted, cutout internal costume. This element gave the general look a subtly sultry enchantment. Don’t be stunned if some younger Hollywood starlet pulls that quantity for a activate the purple carpet.
Elsewhere, Gelinas rounded out the gathering with softly draped silk clothes, ethereal printed tops, and sporty separates with nicely-executed accents like refined, restrained fringe; zigzag trim; or thick piping. A tangerine waffle-cotton cocoon coat and matching tube pants appeared a cross between slick suiting and seaside pajamas—a intelligent twist on extra buttoned-up dressing. And a taupe cotton coatdress (which was truly proven as a vest over an identical skirt and bralette prime) was embellished with playful pink alpaca pockets. The fur was hand-dyed—twice—to attain the proper hue.
If there was a misstep right here, it was that the proportions on an athletic shorts and crop high outfit have been off. The mixture of coloration-blocking (it was proven in sky blue and navy with crimson trim), reduce, and quantity did not do its attractive mannequin any favors. But on the entire, this assortment indicated that Gelinas future is vivid. Don’t be stunned if, after his journey to Paris for market week subsequent month, these wares pop up at a retailer close to you come spring.
