HERITAGE REVIVAL
The last decade or so has seen some revivals of the “grand old dames” of fashion such as Balmain, Schiaparelli and Courregès. More recently, the “sleeping beauties”— dormant luxury brands with immense historical cachet yet with no current commercial activity—are undergoing a reawakening in the form of modern transformations led by a group of new-gen designers. Take Nina Ricci, for example, an haute couture house founded in 1932, who has appointed millennial designers Rushemy Botter and Lisi Herrebrugh as creative directors in 2019. The Dutch design duo first burst into the scene with their menswear label Botter, known for deconstructing menswear infused with Caribbean warmth and elegance.
The duo has since brought similar methodologies to the couture house by the way of grounding couture memories in everyday expressions, often in silhouettes manifested in a “dressed” look disguising a fit and tactility native to sports or casualwear. Courregès—a Parisian house known for its space-age, futuristic designs in the ’60s—is now led by another young designer, Nicolas Di Felice. Instead of a design overhaul, one of the first things Di Felice did after arriving at the house was to reissue brand’s strongest pieces in a much more eco-responsible vinyl, claiming himself as “a creator with social and societal concerns.”
