Enfants Riches Deprimes unveils its Spring/Summer 2018 pre collection

by Boyana Ivanova, 29 June, 2017

Fusing tailored men’s wear with oversized ripped torsos the line depicts an interesting dichotomy between couture and street - the main idea in Spring/Summer 2018 collection.

The location serves as an adequate setting for a definitive moment of Enfants Riches Deprimes in which Henri Alexanders' concept is displayed without compromise or restraint. The runway travels through the matignon of Christies, where each room is curated with Henri Alexanders paintings - series of massive valet tickets and psychological process diagrams attacked by violent and naive gestures. Scribbles juxtaposed to fine tailoring, the paintings, which have been on display at Christie's for days prior to the show, fill the pacing on the runway.

Textures of silver chains and reconfigured 18th century antique brooches, binding this seasons suiting and ready to wear, act as functional assemblage, luring you into relapses of neoclassicism ,and outbreaks in savagery. A story is told, a final dichotomy, with lonely silhouettes of a boy and chain, beautifully knit, in collaboration with Loro Piana, peeking out between looks of spring pastels and shades of black, similar to a deKooning. Henri Alexander's PAINTINGS, Garments, references, and setting create a prolific COLLAGE OF REGRESSION, coupling LUXURY with the FINE ART FUNCTION: the tragic only Child of capitalist realism, neodadism and the refined unconscious mind.
