La mode le 10ème art

Exploring the question: Does fashion qualify as an independent art form ?

Whether you opt for that dress that took your breath away when it first came out and that you rushed out to buy, or for that blouse so elegant that you still lack the appropriate adjectives, the piece you choose tells you as much as you tell it.

American stylist Rachel Zoe emphasized that

"Fashion is the best way to show who you are without having to talk."

Every outfit says something about its wearer and those involved in its creation.

Any outfit can:

Arouse a range of emotions : it can make us joyful, confident, nostalgic...R
Write out the designer's visual language
Showcase mastered techniques, from the creator to the couturier.
Though, this needs to be tempered : Pierre Bergé stresses that fashion cannot claim to be “art” in its own right. Clothing has a functional purpose: to be worn. What's more, clothing design is not uncorrelated with societal trends, a given industrial context or market logic.

GUALDONI's vision

We would say that our pieces are inspired by the arts, are part of a craft tradition, and arouse emotions. Indeed, we see every day how a creation comes to life :

Inspiration -> Can come from a texture, a journey, an emotion ...
Artisanal tradition -> Our couturiers work with the precision of a goldsmith
Emotion -> The creative task itself exposes to multiple emotions.

This encounter between art and craftsmanship is at the core of Gualdoni Paris Wien's identity.

And you—what’s your take on it ?

The debate on whether fashion is the “10th form of art” will not be decided today. What matters now is that fashion continues to move us, to get us thinking, to allow us to express who we are.

So the next time you choose an outfit, just ask yourself : what does it say about you, about your sensibility?
