MISCHKA AOKI Craftsmanship The Making of The Spring Summer 2018 Couture Collection
LA BELLE ET LA BETE For Spring Summer 2018 Mischka Aoki alludes to the setting of the illustrious tale of the more commonly titled Beauty the Beast. Many adaptations of the 18th century folktale have been produced overtime, but the collection itself references the opulent finery, and extreme luxurious fashion which existed within 18th century France. For SS18 regality influences the monumental crinoline structure of A Most Peculiar Mademoiselle and Beauty the Beast dresses. A luxurious tulle neck ruff accompanied with intricate gold metal thread embellishment, forms intimate detailing of The Queen dress, giving a nod to high society and the royal monarchy of its time.

Her character is brilliant and head strong, a heroine in her own right which brings us to a modern day society of independent, selfreliant, young females of the future. Mischka Aoki identifies with this modern day
