Alexis Mabille, Paris Haute Couture 2012

The inspiration for the show was anything but pseudo-science. 

Mabille was inspired by a photograph of iconic model Lisa Fonssagrives on a beach, her face suffused with pink from the sunlight coming through her umbrella. A more recent picture of Christy Turlington by Patrick Demarchelier also provided a bit of background.

L' ispirazione per la sfilata è solo la pseudo-scienza.

Mabille è stata ispirata da uno scatto dell' iconica modella Lisa Fonssagrives ritratta in una spiaggia,  con il viso colorato di rosa riflesso dalla luce del sole che era filtrata dal suo ombrello. Anche uno scatto più recente di Christy Turlington, scattata da Patrick Demarchelier, ha garantito una certa ispirazione.
