Curator’s Note

Alexandre Vauthier presented his Spring/Summer 2014 Haute Couture collection in Paris in January 2014. The designer cited beaches and windsurfing as his inspiration, translating elements of sportswear into evening clothes through elaborate leatherwork, macramé and sheer fabrics. 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. It is made of horizontal bands of interwoven leather, with different braiding and lacing techniques used throughout the bodice and skirt.

Alexandre Vauthier

Alexandre Vauthier founded his namesake fashion house in Paris in 2008, following his training at Thierry Mugler and eight years in Jean Paul Gaultier's haute couture atelier, where he became studio director. He presented his first collection in January 2009 and received official haute couture accreditation in December 2014. His 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, metallic embroidery and crystal embellishment, working with specialist French ateliers including Lesage and Lemarié.
