Moncler's 60th anniversary dinner, hosted by Remo Ruffini on the top floor of 1111 Lincoln Road, took center stage at Art Basel this past weekend. Greeted by beams of white light shooting through a rolling fog and a 360-degree view of Miami from above, one guest commented that she felt like she was "floating on a cloud" when the elevator doors opened on the seventh floor of the Herzog & de Meuron-designed car park. The otherworldly setting was enhanced by music that Amy Sacco first noted was "straight out of Edward Scissorhands. This is the actual sound track," she said, imitating the manner in which Johnny Depp's character moves his shears-for-fingers.
" Bride #1 nods; her eyes widen. Bride #2: "Christian Lacroix couture." With the closing of the house last year, there are only so many dresses available at auction or from dealers, a select few of which would be wedding-appropriate. Herein lies the problem with revealing this little secret: Your best friend may be bidding next to you. This past Sunday, Dominique Chombert and Franoise Sternbach presented an auction of Christian Lacroix haute couture from spring/summer 1987 from Chayette & Cheval in Paris at Drouot Richelieu. Even more enchanting is that the pieces were from Lacroix's tenure at Patou. Chombert confirmed that prior to the sale, there'd been inquiries about wedding-worthy dresses.
"It starts earlier and earlier every year. As it gets bigger, it gains something and loses something at the same time," he noted. "I live here, so I've seen it all happen." Karolina Kurkova, now a Miami resident, had arrived earlier Friday after shooting in Dubai and seemed anxious to take it all in: "I just bought a place in Miami, so this is all new and sort of home now!"
Dinner took place at monochromatic white table settings, each of which included a set of Mykita-made reflective orange sunglasses that, when paired with the white Moncler knee-length sleeveless down coats draped over several seats for revelers to keep warm, created a look straight out of Blade Runner. Harry and Peter Brant fashioned their coats into capes for a Polaroid photo shoot with Bianca Brandolini; Allison Sarofim looked every bit the space-age monk with her hood flipped firmly up, while Vogue's Hamish Bowles suggested that the coats would one day look "so chic over black tie" as he greeted Richard Phillips, who was clad, naturally, in Moncler.
Perhaps it's this facet of Lacroix that heightens the appeal of a frothy dress to a girl who might otherwise go more minimal. While she doesn't often get requests for his "wedding dresses," Rodriguez has seen a certain fascination again among her younger clients. It's a love she shares; not only does she collect Lacroix, his designs provide inspiration for the petticoats and volume in her own line. "I'm a Christian Lacroix freak," says Rodriguez. One of her favorite personal pieces is the black jacket with the gem-embellished cross as seen paired with jeans on the cover of Vogue in November 1988. "When I was young, that was such a major cover. I thought, That's how I want to look. That moment is so right now."
We see some bright pinks from Christian Louboutin and Miu Miu alongside funky neutrals from Marni hitting the virtual shelves this week.An intricate laser-cut gives this Christian Louboutin leather clutch the look of delicate lace.
