Courrèges creative director Nicolas Di Felice presented the Spring/Summer 2022 runway show in a wide square open space in the center of Bois de Vincennes park. The opening looks featured a series of stylish geometric capes and ponchos in monotone colours which were strikingly modern with a clear fashion-forward aesthetic. André Courrège was a revolutionary designer who foresaw the importance of healthy living and toned bodies. He was known for his innovative and futuristic designs. Nicolas Di Felice re-introduced this modernism in the form of fresh and youthful structured designs,empowering the models to march enthusiastically around the field with their knee-high leather boots and baseball hats.
The season’s collection presented minis, slit dresses, cross wrap halter tops, flared high waisted pants and Courrège vinyl jackets amongst other looks combined with a palette of bold colours. Silver, blue, and pinks captured and highlighted the ready-to-wear ease of the clothing. The Courrège collection had all the elements of the past, present and future.
