After graduating ESMOD, he began his career at Thierry Mugler in 1993, where he developed his understanding of tailoring, cutting and garment construction. He subsequently joined Jean Paul Gaultier's haute couture atelier, eventually becoming its studio director. Vauthier presented his first independent collection in January 2009 and became an invited member of the Paris haute couture calendar in 2011. In December 2014, the house received official haute couture accreditation from the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. Vauthier's work draws on the technical traditions of the Parisian couture atelier, with particular attention to cutting, draping and the manipulation of materials. \u003cspan\u003eHis collections revisited the glamour and exaggerated proportions of 1980s fashion, with pronounced shoulders, plunging necklines, high-cut dresses and asymmetric evening gowns. He combined these designs with intricate leather braiding, \u003c\/span\u003emacramé, lace, crystal embroidery and experimental fabric treatments, developed with specialist workshops including Lesage, Lemarié and Goossens. Alongside elaborate evening dresses, he produced tailored jackets, trousers and daywear, eventually extending the house's couture designs into ready-to-wear. His work attracted an international clientele, including Rihanna, Beyoncé and Madonna. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"alexandre-vauthier-haute-couture-burgundy-leather-dress-ss-2014","title":"Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture Burgundy Leather Dress (SS 2014)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurator’s Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlexandre Vauthier presented his Spring\/Summer 2014 Haute Couture collection in Paris in January 2014.

The collection included intricately braided leather dresses, tailored jackets, embellished bodysuits and dresses made from layers of gathered tulle. This burgundy leather mini dress appeared on the runway with a matching crocodile-effect clutch.
