SHOE DESIGN
My position as an assistant shoe designer for Clemence Milou gave me the opportunity to design for Paco Rabanne, Off-White, and Blue Marble Paris. My role was to research, design, and render the shoes, as well as to create patterns, collages, color combinations, presentations, overviews, technical packs, and experiment with materials and physical shoes to find new and different silhouettes.

Elongated silhouettes reveal the body effortlessly. Vibrant and fluid looks crafted from silk, velvet, jersey, jacquard, and macrame symbiotically embrace shimmering metal mesh, golden paillettes, silver beads, and metal eyelets.
From headwear to footwear, pieces capture summer’s myriad facets. Patterned bucket hats and bonnets emphasize a relaxed attitude. The Paco Rabanne sabot returns this season newly streamlined, while platform sandals trace the leg with crisscrossed laces – yet another graphic expression. Amongst all of it was a print collaboration with the Victor Vasarely Foundation.

SPRING SUMMER 22
Anthony Alvarez tapped memories of his Franco-Filipino childhood and a recent trip to the Philippines for an upbeat collection that evoked the beachcomber lifestyle.
Tropical references and seaside motifs became prints on silk shirts, embroideries or even seams twisting into a wave motif down the side of denim jeans. A cache of fabrics he has been collecting from the Philippines gave the lineup a thrifted vibe with patchworks of colors and textures, while he recast the traditional Filipino barong shirt as a leisurely top, turning its characteristic U-shaped embroidery into a print livening up the placket of a sporty polo shirt.
Pairing fitted tops and looser, almost baggy, bottoms, he worked a90s feel into his silhouettes, nodding to his penchant for surfing and skating. Embellishments of sequins and beads played with the season’s warm palette to reinforce the relaxed mood.
Elsewhere, preppy touches such as cricket sweaters and a trompe-l’oeil trouser style, composed of tailored slacks slung low layered with swimming trunks left visible, made the lineup believable enough, even when strolling between the storied colonnades of France’s National Archives building, where his live runway show was staged.
