Some photos of the amazing La Cambre show 2011.

Variations (1st grade)


« Dress-skirt » with embroidered belt and a work around the volume of the skirt.

Transformers! Do not underestimate the power of urban wear. Motorcycle jacket, codes and volumes are amplified (2nd grade). Awesome job!

A mysterious silhouette

I really like Louise Leconte’s collection (above), reminds me some Westwoodesque-crazy stuff, a chic-punk thing as if Hermes scarves meet Burberry’s coat meet a punk cap.

Below, « Chrysalide », a dream collection inspired by God with really amazing coats by Zoë Vermeire
