For resort, Yigal Azrouël meddled a selection of ’80s-inspired colors and shapes that harkened back to his youth. Purple silk pajamas (patterned with abstract florals photographed by his good friend Erez Sabag), an aqua one-piece suit made from Japanese satin, and a featherweight maroon raincoat all drew direct motivation from this age.
Venturing into color needed Azrouël’s utmost factor to consider. He looked for to produce a high level of contrast in between the rusty reds and oceanic blues, and handpicked his purple colors to collaborate with the maroon. He compares the imaginative procedure to his cooking approach: never ever utilize a dish. “It’s like how I prepare. I do not have active ingredients. If I have components, it’s uninteresting. I like to shock myself,” he stated.
In spite of his dedication to experiment this season, do not anticipate Azrouël to desert his signatures– especially his fondness for black and white. A customized black leather raincoat with white contrast piping was an emphasize of the collection. (The inverted colorway instantly draws to mind Elle Driver’s trompe l’oeil Moschino coat in Eliminate Bill) He likewise went back to his stalwart draped pieces; one standout was a floor-length, cherry red gown, whose drape looked like a Greek statue. When crafting the more sensuous pieces in the collection, Azrouël desired them to look as though they might fit right into a Helmut Newton picture. “They’re womanly, however really strong females,” he stated of Newton’s topics. One might likewise state the exact same about his own clients.
