As the last show of the week, 1017 ALYX 9SM<\/a> completes the four-city relay of the men’s clothing season. FW20 is a further example of Williams’ inclination towards technical design. The bright, dynamically arranged forms offered an element of luxury that ALYX had not yet experienced.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

So far, Williams’ collections (@matthewmwilliams<\/strong><\/a>) and the collaborations between them, for example this month’s with Moncler Genius<\/strong><\/a>, have stood out for perfectly combining formality and utility<\/strong>. With this latest collection, the second he’s made in the spectacular and very high glass atrium of a Parisian bank building, he’s getting closer to luxury than ever<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“I’m worried about what will be, not what happened. This collection deals with multiple versions of the same reality, between truth and fiction. I am more aware than ever that the perception of a single experience is different from one person to another. That’s why I wanted to work with artist Ewan Macfarlane investigating what a mannequin means, which raises these figures halfway between sculpture and retail. In a way, isn’t that what we are too?”<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0These were the words of Matthew Williams<\/strong><\/a> to present a parade that speaks of a floating world, between brightness and despair.<\/p>\n

In this collection, we could talk about a “utilitarian glamour”<\/strong> where the inlays of rhinestones and embroideries add decorative touches to a workwear that is already elegant in itself. Among the fabrics, recycled technical nylon<\/strong> and cottons treated as leather<\/strong> stand out.<\/p>\n

The additions of rhinestones served as a gateway to the women’s clothing offer, which finally proved to cement the relationship of the label with the neutral gender garments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although the collection is mainly monochromatic<\/strong>, Williams did not hesitate to incorporate a touch of texture to the collection through animal prints<\/strong> and crocodile skin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
