Modern structures
With his second show, Gaspard Yurkievich has already entered the domain of kings (of fashion), the Carrousel du Louvre. In a cheeky reference to the palace where the biggest names in fashion present their collections, he baptized his line "Court Carré". Gaspard Yurkievich develops an intrinsic relationship with the structure of clothing. Floating ribbons are attached to his skirts and dresses as well as the hems of his short and long pants and bustier dresses. Tunics and kimono jackets feature large open sleeves that resemble wings and cross over the chest. While the skirts are generally long, there are still some short mini dresses. Other models of his little black dresses modestly arrive at the knee. Gaspard Yurkievich also uses panels and cut-outs, plunging tops that are open on the sides and short tunic dresses with draped panels in the back. Dresses and tops in fluid jersey create audacious, asymmetrical, sometimes off the shoulder necklines. Apart from black and white, used monochromatically or in opposition, greyed pastels and subdued shades of orange, Gaspard Yurkievich is one of the rare designers using prints: showers of grey micro-confetti or giant polka-dots on a white background. Decidedly, this is a designer who is affirming his talent.
