For his latest Fall Couture Collection, Parisian designer Alexandre Vauthier tapped into retro California style. Bringing back the Native Americana aesthetic, Vauthier puts a glam rock spin on an iconic style.
While Native Americana looks have been restricted to festivals such as Coachella, Alexandre Vauthier revives the look and makes it a presentable fall couture style. Extra long fringe is the definite highlight of this couture collection. The retro decal hangs off sharp tailored jackets, asymmetrical dresses and bold belts.
Paying homage to this season's ethereal look, one dusty pink chiffon gown is juxtaposed with custom-cut pieces and an embellished micro wrap dress. The retro punk looks are offered through a fuchsia satin ruffle skirt paired with a daring black lace bodysuit.
