Bernadette's Fall Collection: A Fashion Extravaganza with a Twist
The dynamic fashion duo, Bernadette and Charlotte de Geyter, have once again captivated the fashion world with their unique take on femininity. For their third Paris showcase, this Antwerp-based mother-daughter team collaborated with Studio Alfons Meyer to bring their vision to life through film.
Their short film, 'The Hostess,' showcases a captivating story of women preparing for a party, each with their distinct personalities. "We celebrate individuality," Charlotte de Geyter expressed, drawing attention to the contrasting white shirts with intricate embroidery, one voluminous and crisp, the other fitted and feminine. This collection truly embodies the diversity of modern women.
The collection boasts an array of captivating elements. De Geyter's daughter, a print designer, showcased her talent with delphinium-inspired prints on caftans and satin gowns, alongside a winter garden-themed hydrangea print. The floral theme extended to cozy knits, like a fuchsia intarsia sweater and a khaki cardigan with applique embroideries, paired with a taffeta skirt. And let's not forget the playful touches of embroidered berries and velvet pouches!
But here's where it gets interesting: signature ribbon details added a unique twist to pink pajamas and crushed velvet dresses. Gingham pieces with asymmetric shoulders and knitted twists offered a contemporary spin on vintage glamour. And this is the part most people miss—the subtle details that elevate these designs from ordinary to extraordinary.
