The Intersection of Haute Couture and Watchmaking

The rarefied fashion category is the result of painstaking handwork and flights of design fancy. Sound familiar?

PARIS — Bella Hadid in an ethereal pink Dior confection, posing at the Cannes Film Festival. Her sister Gigi in a tweed midriff number, slithering down a reproduction of the mirrored staircase at Coco Chanel’s shop in Paris.

At first glance, neither of these supermodels posing in custom-made styles could be further from the world of a watchmaker hunched over a work bench, peering at miniature parts.

But the grand spectacle of high fashion seems to have turned a few heads at watch brands of late. Some are looking past the décor, lights and models, and discovering that the watch industry does, in fact, have something in common with the world of haute couture and its made-to-measure, exquisitely handcrafted garments. “Our two worlds are not that far apart,” Laurent Perves, chief marketing officer for Vacheron Constantin, said in an interview. “Haute couture and haute horlogerie share the same values of excellence, precision and beauty.” This year, for the first time in its 265-year history, the Swiss watch house produced a women’s collection inspired by couture. Called Égérie, French for muse, it is an iteration of a women’s line (with the same name) introduced in 2003. But the five new models, which arrived in brand boutiques March 1, have textured dials that resemble the couture effect of plissé, or pleating. To create the look, Vacheron’s métiers d’art workshop adapted the guillochage, or engraving, techniques that it uses for tapestry patterns on watch dials.

“We looked closely at techniques of pleating, lacing, embroidery and sewing used in couture to produce this effect,” Mr. Perves said. “The numerals were specially designed to evoke fine embroidery, and the hour and minute hands are shaped like needles used in a couture workshop.” High fashion may well be an answer to the age-old question of what (style-conscious) women really want in a timepiece beyond the usual diamond-studded, smaller version of a watch designed for a man. “We have always made models for women, but this is the first time we have dedicated a collection of this scale to women,” Mr. Perves said. “Our clients asked for it and we listened.” Watchmakers focusing on female preferences are no doubt encouraged that sales of women’s watches priced at more than $5,000 saw growth of 8 percent in 2019, surpassing for the first time in recent years sales of the sub-$500 segment, according to the NPD Group, a luxury industry analyst and data provider.

The Patek Philippe Twenty-4

Last year Patek Philippe updated its 20-year-old women’s model, the Twenty-4, which it reshaped with a round dial and reintroduced with an automatic movement. When the Twenty-4 Automatic was unveiled during the Couture shows in late January in Paris, it was shown on the wrists of models wearing couture styles by Alexis Mabille, a Parisian designer. “The world and the place of women in it have evolved,” said Thierry Stern, president of Patek Philippe. “The new Twenty-4 is audacious in the image of the modern woman who knows her own taste.” Sandrine Stern, head of design at the family-owned company, said: “Haute couture and a beautiful watch coexist well in a woman’s world. This watch has the style and technicality that we believe women want today.” At Chanel, the watchmaking division has regularly collaborated with Maison Lesage, the embroidery specialist that in 2002 became part of its Paraffection heritage craft subsidiary. Over the years, Lesage has produced the fashion house’s signature tweeds in fabulously intricate and colorful weaves of mousseline, wool, pearls and ribbon. And it has created delicate embroideries on the dials of Chanel’s métiers d’art watches, including the camellia on the Mademoiselle Privé. The house’s jewelry group took notice. “I joined Chanel about a decade ago, and have ever since been fascinated by the work that goes into making couture tweeds,” said Patrice Leguéreau, director of the Creation Studio for Chanel jewelry. “I always wondered if tweed-weaving techniques could be used to produce the same extraordinary effect in jewelry.”

….and the Contrasté watch, part of the Tweed de Chanel high jewelry collection. The design mimics the fabric.

In January, during the Couture, Chanel unveiled Tweed de Chanel, a 45-piece high jewelry collection that included three timepieces — named Cordage, Contrasté and Frangé. “The challenge was to take inherently hard materials like metals and precious stones, and weave them like fabric to produce a result that both looked and felt like tweed,” Mr. Leguéreau said. The bangle-style bracelet of the Contrasté watch, for example, has pearls, onyx and diamonds set in a grid pattern on a white gold and platinum base, interlaced with gold chain in what seems to be a nod to the chain-weighted hem of Chanel’s couture jackets. A secret watch style, it has a diamond-studded and gold chain-edged disc that swings across to cover the timepiece’s dial. Couture, particularly the sweeping full skirts of classic ball gowns created by Christian Dior, has been the inspiration for Dior’s annual Grand Bal watch collections, first introduced in 2011.

… and in this new Dior Grand Bal Ruban Rose watch.

“A ball gown is your dream,” a recent news release quoted Mr. Dior as saying, “and it must make you a dream.” The timepieces have an inverted movement — named the Dior Calibre Inversé 11 ½ — with an oscillating weight that swings from side to side as the wearer moves. The effect is like the sway of a ball gown moving across a dance floor, and the house has used it for such motifs as flowers and feathers. This year, the Dior Grand Bal Ruban features an openwork bow carved on the oscillating weight, swinging atop a dial with either a blue sunburst or a bed of pink and gold feathers. Bows are a signature detail of Dior’s couture, created for the neckline, hip or toe of a shoe by the petites mains, or tiny hands, of the couture ateliers. So, as experts say, not much different from the work of the house’s watchmakers after all.

At Versace

Versace also turned to its fashion archives — although ready-to-wear looks — in designing its new Medusa Frame watch, scheduled for introduction in May. The bandeau-style bracelet is made with the same jungle print as Jennifer Lopez’s memorable open-to-the-navel Versace gown at the 2000 Grammy Awards — and the even-more-revealing spring 2020 style that the actress wore in September at the brand’s ready-to-wear show in Milan.

… will be used for the strap of Versace’s new Medusa Frame watch, to be introduced in May.

Versace watches are produced by the Timex Group Luxury Division. And its president, Paolo Marai, wrote in an email: “On the 20-year anniversary of an iconic fashion moment, the time was right to bring back the dress and a watch with a slip-through jungle print strap.” Bringing back a print that has aged well on the gravity-defying figure of a celebrity who seems to not age at all is a powerful way for Versace to reinforce its message. “‘Timeless appeal’ is something that we always wish to achieve,” Mr. Marai wrote, “and Versace constantly demonstrates that the brand is timeless in all its categories, including its watches.” Fashion milestones help, too. So this fall, it intends to introduce a watch inspired by the black safety-pin gown that Liz Hurley wore in 1994.

Are You Ready For The Tube-Top Renaissance?

385528 02: Actress Sarah Jessica Parker Stars As Carrie In The Hbo Comedy Series “Sex And The City” The Third Season. (Photo By Getty Images)

The ability to go out again, after more than a year at home, heralds the inevitable reconsideration of going-out tops. This summer, we’ve already welcomed back chainmail halters with cowl necks à la Paris Hilton’s getup from her 21st birthday party and Keira Knightley’s in Bend It Like Beckham. Similarly, cropped cardigans held together by nothing but an inconsequential pin have become regulars in the wardrobes of Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber, and Hailey Bieber (not to mention our own). With the summer fading into fall, there’s just enough time for one last party piece to have a moment in the sun.

Welcome to the tube-top renaissance.

Like most of today’s trends, the return of the once-maligned strapless top can be attributed to a viral hashtag on TikTok. As it stands, #tubetop has more than 52 million views on the Gen-Z-favourite platform, with thousands of videos popping up daily, featuring styling tips, DIY tutorials, and hacks for wearing the style when you have big boobs. But tube tops aren’t reserved for members of Gen Z, nor is their comeback only present on TikTok. Instead, the going-out top beloved by early-aughts stars like Britney Spears, J.Lo, Ashanti, and Sarah Jessica Parker — whose Sex and the City alter ego wore a bevy of tube tops during the series, paired with a jersey skirt and an arm scarf (Season 4, Episode 13), knit hot pants and a newsboy cap (Season 4, Episode 8), and cargo trousers (Season 3, Episode 13) — is as pervasive in fashion as Y2K itself.

New York-based Australian designer Dion Lee kick-started the trend’s runway presence when he included a fringe-hemmed tube top in his spring ‘21 lookbook. Later, Christelle Kocher sent midriff-baring tube tops in an electrifying shade of orange down the runway at her Paris Fashion Week show for Koché. Meanwhile, Etro’s colour-filled collection included strapless scarf tops effortlessly tied in front. Saving the best for last, plus-size model Jill Kortleve modelled a black tube top with hot pink trousers — secured with a chain belt, because it is, in fact, 2003 again — during Chanel’s runway show at the Grand Palais.

A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce)

Off the catwalk, the strapless style has been spotted on the likes of Kendall Jenner, Beyoncé, and Bella Hadid — a trifecta that could bring even the most hated sartorial item back from the depths of fashion purgatory. In April, the elder Jenner sister was seen on three separate occasions donning various versions of the minimal garment, including a tan leather style worn with matching trousers and a tiny shoulder bag and an orange printed top that she styled with black leather pants. In June, Beyoncé posted photos on Instagram of herself wearing a black patent leather strapless mini by David Koma. Hadid followed suit during Paris Couture Week, when she wore a Balenciaga corset-style tube top with wide-leg joggers for the house’s show in July.

Seeing a Y2K trend on Hadid, though, is one thing. For a trend as controversial as this one to truly be back — especially one that necessitates boob tape and doesn’t take kindly to tan lines — it has to have the peoples’ approval, too. And that it does.

According to global fashion shopping platform Lyst, searches for tube tops are up 79% in the last two months. Specifically: searches for silk, cropped, and halter tube tops have increased by 25%, 27%, and 30%, respectively. Digital shopping platform ShopStyle has witnessed a similar spike, with searches for tube tops increasing by 33%, compared to data from 2020.

According to Alison Stiefel, ShopStyle’s General Manager, “it’s not surprising that shoppers are searching for tube tops this summer.” This season, going-out staples, from party dresses to heels, are back in fashion following a year-plus of loungewear and loungewear only. According to Peter Henderson, the head of the Lyst Index, shoppers are now “acting on pent-up demand for going-out-wear.” Tube tops, being a party-scene staple, fall into that category.

As people look to get the most out of the remaining days of summer, Stiefel says they can wear the top as is “or dress it up with chunky jewellery for an evening out.” (Or, if you ask Jenner, with leather trousers.)

To keep up with demand, brands have included the style in their recent collections, all the while adding new twists to the tops of yore. Barcelona-based jewellery and ready-to-wear brand Gimaguas recently introduced a checkered tube top that transforms into a mini-skirt, styling the multifaceted piece both ways on its website. Fellow Instagram brand Miaou has its fair share of strapless options on offer, including a teal-coloured corset made of faux leather. Eloquii, Victor Glemaud, Sherris, Tibi, and more fashion industry darlings are here for the tube-top renaissance, with versions up and down the minimal-to-flashy spectrum.

Another reason behind the tube-top renaissance? The steadfast return of trends from the ’00s. We’re essentially living in a Y2K time capsule, with old trends, like low-rise jeans, belly chains, bandage dresses, and more controversial styles from the early aughts frequently appearing in new ways. It was really only a matter of time before the no-strap-wonder made its triumphant return to fashion.

Thankfully, this time we have roughly 52 million TikTokers to show us how to do them right — nip slips not included.

Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?

7 Middle School Status Symbols That Still Haunt My Dreams At 27

Peter and I have started keeping a running tally of the Canada Goose jackets we see in New York City. (When I say “running tally” I mostly mean we squawk at each other whenever we see one. Because it’s a goose!) They are easy to spot, once you know what they look like, because they are everywhere. One morning while out in the West Village, a neighborhood full of quaint facades hiding extremely expensive interiors, we counted more than 20. And it’s truly shocking to me how ubiquitous they’ve become among a certain faction of New Yorkers — I’m sure they are incredibly warm, but they are all but devoid of any kind of personality. Out in the wild, I only ever see them in black, despite being manufactured in a few different (though subdued) colors. Plus, most of the bomber jackets and parkas start around $800.

Of course, I can’t speak to the quality of this specific brand, and I do think a high-quality winter coat is a super important investment if you live somewhere cold (and can afford the splurge). But I just see so many of these coats specifically. The point of wearing a Canada Goose jacket is probably to stay warm, but it’s also undeniably to be seen with that red patch on your shoulder — to let the people know just how much you probably spent on that one coat.

I recently realized how much these coats’ popularity reminds me of the status symbols in my middle and high school. I grew up in the Northeast Atlanta suburbs in a pretty upper-middle class neighborhood. (My high school was pretty diverse, my middle school less so, and the neighborhood where I lived was mostly white.) My parents certainly did well for themselves, but they didn’t spend their money in the same ways others seemed to — we were one of the comfortable minivan families, not one of the Lincoln SUV ones. My mom has always loved shopping and clothes and certainly passed that on to me, but she never let me buy something simply because everyone else had it. I’m grateful for this now, but there were so many specific things that it seemed all the other (and usually “popular”) kids had that I was jealous of.

I’m often reminded of the often bizarre items that ended up being status symbols in my own adolescence, so thought it might be fun to take a little stroll down memory lane. (For reference, I was in middle school 2003-2006, and I graduated high school in 2010.) Here are seven specific middle school status symbols that still personally haunt me, despite the fact that I never owned most of them:

1. Tiffany heart lock necklaces.

I’m talking very specifically about the chunky chainlink ones that clasped in the front (like this one). I’m not sure which came first — the opening shot of Elle Woods fastening her Tiffany heart necklace in Legally Blonde, or the same necklace being worn on the necks of WASPy 13-year-old girls everywhere. The closest I ever got was a knockoff version from Claire’s, which is definitely for the best considering the probably dozens of jewelry items I have misplaced in the last decade and a half. Now looking back, it feels like the entire point of them was to be instantly recognizable while still boring enough to fit with pretty much any outfit. Also, they were probably an excuse to buy something with the Tiffany logo without having to shell out for a diamond. (Chanel logo earrings definitely fall into the same category.)

2. Northface fleece jackets.

Yes, in my Atlanta suburb, where we got about two and a half weeks of “winter” each year, bland-ass Northface jackets were a dime a dozen on kids from wealthier white families — most often black for boys and the powder blue color for girls. Occasionally you’d see an eggplant color or something, if the person was feeling super edgy. Kids also definitely took note if you were wearing a fleece jacket that happened to not have the Northface logo connoting a $100+ price tag. Why a bunch of well-off children in Atlanta really took to the aesthetic of an athletic wear/outdoor gear company while spending the majority of their time in air conditioning, I do not know. Northface still makes these jackets and they look almost exactly the same, which probably says something both about the timelessness of good sportswear and just how obsessed with blending in teenagers can be.

3. Birkenstocks.

This one became particularly hilarious to me after I left for college in Vermont and found out the William H. Macy caricature of a Vermonter from Thank You For Smoking was quite based in reality. Again, why a bunch of suburban kids in Georgia grabbed onto a brand synonymous with granola outdoorsy-ness, I’m not sure. I actually did convince my parents I needed a pair of these and got some chocolate-brown mules for Christmas one year. They were invariably comfortable, and I wore the crap out of them for several years — at which point they really started looking like crap.

4. Polos with an Abercrombie & Fitch moose or a Hollister seagull.

Now here’s where you could inject a bit of personality: into the color of your polo shirt! I’m thinking specifically 2005-2006. Some kids would even double-layer their polo shirts and pop the collars up. The Abercrombie and Hollister brands were the lowest price tier to be deemed acceptable in certain circles. I never even loved polo shirts, but I’m sure I asked for one of these at some point. I definitely would not have bothered trying to acquire a logo-less polo shirt, because what on earth would even be the point?

5. Polos with the actual Ralph Lauren polo horse.

Everyone seemed to notice the kids who took it a step further and wore “legitimate” polo shirts — another bland, unchanging institution of a wardrobe item that can easily cost you $80-100. Lacoste alligators were a dime a dozen, too. Maybe a lot of the kids I knew actually shopped at outlet malls, and I just never knew about it?

6. Multicolor print Dooney & Burke purses.

As with the Canada Goose jackets that have virtually taken over Manhattan, you’ll probably note that all of the items on this list up to this point are a little on the neutral/purposely inoffensive side. Not these purses, bitch! They came in all kinds of cartoonishly colorful patterns that I think back on fondly the way one might think of a Lisa Frank trapper keeper — like yeah that was fun but also, yikes! (I think I’m specifically thinking of the cartoon heart pattern, which I absolutely lusted after and, sadly, never obtained.) Granted, they made sure you still knew exactly who made each bag, either with a full-on repeated-logo print (ripping off the even-more-expensive Louis Vuitton print, I’ve always assumed?) or a decent-sized “Dooney & Bourke” metal plaque.

7. Velour Juicy Couture tracksuits.

I actually did get one of these! My mom and I found it at the Saks outlet for like 70% off. It was dark purple and had an angel, and also the word “angel,” embroidered and bedazzled on the back. It was extremely comfortable and I wore it constantly. But I also can’t deny that, like every other girl in my school who had one, its biggest draw was that everyone seeing you wearing it would know exactly what brand it was. These were particularly popular among the girls I danced with, as the “sportswear” aspect made more sense for us. Though I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to wearing this ensemble to school, like, at least once a week.

*****

This was trip down ~memory lane~, but I’ve realized just how big a part conspicuous consumption plays in our society and social lives — and just how early it starts. Of course, if you really want to buy yourself a Canada Goose jacket, by all means, do so. I just hope we all — myself included — realize what (and who) influences the personal spending decisions we make at every point in our lives.

These Were the Biggest Fashion Risks at the Golden Globes of All-Time

VALERIE MACON/AFP/Getty Pictures In the case of the Golden Globes, it is both go huge or go dwelling. With all of the eyes on the pink carpet, the first award present of the yr is a chance for stars to shine vivid and set the style normal for the relaxation of the season. Thus, nobody desires to be understated or forgotten. In Hollywood, it is higher to start out dialog with an outfit that is liked and hated, moderately than not be an element of the dialog at all. Cue the riskiest seems to be of the pink carpet. After all, when styling is about standing out and attempting one thing new, if you happen to do it proper, there are going to be folks that do not like the look. It comes with the territory. Fortunate for us, we get to play style police and resolve for ourselves whether or not these pink carpet kinds are price loving or dropping. Take a look at the riskiest seems to be beneath!

Demure drama: Pippa Middleton's wedding dress deconstructed

The Middleton sisters have established an effective formula in choosing wedding dresses. Select an edgy designer, and commission them to create a fairly traditional gown. It works a treat, resulting in a bridal look which is elegant without being conventional, high taste but not too avant garde.

The high neckline and covered shoulders of Pippa Middleton’s Giles Deacon dress make it unassailably demure, yet it has a little more drama and attitude than found at the average home counties church wedding. The upstanding lace collar is rather fashion-forward, and the heart-shaped keyhole detail at the nape of the neck makes the dress interesting when seen from behind. The back view of the bridal party is very much in the spotlight on these occasions, something Middleton knows better than anyone after the intense interest in her slinky Alexander McQueen maid of honour dress at her sister’s wedding. The cap sleeves make the dress more informal than Kate’s McQueen gown, while also showing off Middleton’s yoga-sculpted arms.

Deacon took the ballroom dancing scene from Luchino Visconti’s 1963 film The Leopard as inspiration for a skirt which is draped at the front and filled with tulle at the back so that it floats gracefully. The designer, who credited his bridal client with having “a great eye”, is one of British fashion’s strongest talents. An independent-minded designer, his tiny London fashion week shows were packed to the rafters until he made the switch to a bespoke-only, haute couture business model last year.

The powerful stylist Katie Grand has described Deacon as “fantastically talented and always slightly subversive”. Until this weekend, his most famous bridal client was a voluptuously sultry dress for the model Abbey Clancy, who is married to the footballer Peter Crouch.

The commission will be a phenomenal boost to Deacon’s couture business. Born in Darlington in 1969, Deacon worked at Gucci under Tom Ford before setting up his own label in 2003. He has made red carpet gowns for actors Thandie Newton, Cate Blanchett and his girlfriend, the Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie. He says he likes to dress “strong characters, strong women”. Her choice of Deacon over a more predictable society-wedding label suggests Middleton may fall into this category.
