Miu Miu's Show closed the fashion month. The opening was the conduct of an art installation. Art Basel Paris will commence in about two weeks time. The installation included a piece by Goshka Macuga. She is a Polish-born artist who lives in London.
The piece is titled "Salt Looks Like Sugar." It transformed runway space into a printing plant. Issues of a tabloid called the Truthless Times were hung from conveyor belts. They were all over the ceiling. Videos of two employees were projected on walls. The purpose was to illustrate ambiguity. This was of a "post-truth era" and issues like:
What is fact?
What is fashion?Finding out the next trend is the question again and again. This is always the main topic of the collections. A certain breast beating about the point of it all occurs, too. If there are as few answers as there are now, then it is a rarity. These have been the case for the past week or two. There has been a lot of spinning in place. Archive diving and breath-holding have been the activities.
In the case of a brand like Chanel, you can understand it. It is now between artistic directors. It is being formulated by the design team. The brand is really in limbo. Defaulting to the known is a natural thing to do. The known include jolie Madame Bouclé skirt suits and flowing floral chiffon. The colors are black and white.
