For his Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2021 collection, Alexandre Vauthier tapped the British photographer Alasdair McLellan to shoot both the lookbook and Vauthier’s kicky and scratchy show video.

Shot entirely black in his showroom in the manner of an exhibition, the monochrome “is a parti pris, black is an excessively Parisian code. It’s also a sort of a metaphor of a clean slate from where to start anew after all we’ve been through”, said Vauthier.
Negligee dress in stalactites and shards of crystals, great performance by Lesage; sequinned dress with a marvellously dense feather trim; leather shirtdress embroidered in a bandanna motif; Lesage-embroidered black leather perfectos worn over sequined bodysuits; or leather minidress, fringed with the help of Lemarié and paired with a black-feathered, punky head-to-toe headdress. Beyond the obvious glamour these rhinestone-studded looks exuded, Vauthier was more than ever focusing on couture’s crafts. As he said: “French couture is all about the allure”.
