VERONIQUE BRANQUINHO READY-TO-WEAR SPRING-SUMMER 2016, FASHION WEEK PARIS

Veronique Branquinho presented her spring-summer 2016 collection 5 of October, in Paris. As usual the theme of female duality, the transition from girl to woman, the ambiguous mystery of the awakening eroticism, takes centre stage in Veronique Branquinho’s collection. Her work is dominated by the perpetual movement between attracting and rejecting, revealing and concealing. She doesn’t design attention-seeking clothes. Instead of this, she prefers to create beautiful garments whose desirability is only intensified by their functionality.

“Perhaps the most striking thing about Branquinho’s clothes is that, whether they are tailored and simple or languid and moody, they impart a sexual tension highly contemporary in feeling. It makes me wonder what Branquinho might have done, at a certain moment, with a label like Yves Saint Laurent: a woman interpreting the ultimate modern female uniform” considered Cathy Horyn. Veronique Branquinho commented her vision in this way: “I see my collections as a personal diary. They are close to me. In a way, they reflect my feeling. I design very intuitively. It comes very naturally to express myself through my collections”.
