N°9
“You have to be smart, yet free” declares Victor Anate, and Number 9 is a manifesto for what that means from first light to the witching hour and beyond. A twenty-first century hymnal to the new modernist woman: one, who like the movement that birthed her, is drawn to experimentation on her own terms, embraces societal changes as an open invitation to reimagining norms and subtle subversion, and on every sighting is an impeccably dressed self-fulfilling prophesy.
THE LOOKS
THE DETAILS
For when the occasion demands caprice is managed in the choices, but of course there is no choice other than to look sensational. Night time is shimmering, revealing and decadent with signature motifs – the return of the under-bust as the erogenous of zone of interest andmaterial reprisals – arise silk, organza, pleather and lace, proof of the famed adage of style, once defined being perennial. And evening tops and skirts, another house code that never fails, are given a dose of the novel via new silhouettes. Thus, the habitual; dressing and reconstructing ourselves with the clothing we wear is rendered a liberating and thoroughly modern adventure. One that colludes with our sensual, secret selves to transform our everyday reality.
