Stéphane Rolland unveils his Autumn/Winter 2023-2024 Couture collection
On the occasion of the Stéphane Rolland Autumn/Winter 2023-2024 Couture collection fashion show on July 5 2023, held in the Paris Opera, renews his couture collection, imbued with timeless abstract vision and inspiration that is also seen in the majestic draping that the designer pairs with his signature tones. White, champagne beige, and black are tastefully adorned with details in silver and gold.
Show notes state,
It is 9:30 p.m. when Maria Callas enters the stage of the Paris Opera.
It is December 19, 1958, and for this exceptional gala, the «who’s who» of politics, business, and the arts in Paris is present. Cameras are focused on
her, and the television channels will broadcast it on Eurovision. The capital is about to experience an unforgettable night; the very night that will give
birth to the Haute Couture collection 2023-2024, with the fantasy of seeing Maria ascend the grand staircase of the Palais Garnier once again.
Stéphane Rolland has created 31 dresses, all inspired by the soprano’s roles, as well as the woman herself and the emotions she conveyed.
A conical dress wrapped in black gazar opens this suspended moment in time; it is followed by long, articulated vests cascading with crepe and
cubic dresses. The cut is sharp, pure, noble. Boleros, capes, and frock coats are embroidered with bas-reliefs and acanthus leaves in white porcelain.
We are at the Palais Garnier.
The heroines parade before our eyes.
In her Wagnerian beginnings, she wears a diamond-studded helmet and a black velvet gown.
As a «Verdian», Maria becomes Violetta in crinoline dresses adorned with satin slats or a long sheath gown embellished with a ”fan” sculpture of
gold and diamonds.
Eleonora appears immaculate in an inverted white crepe cape embroidered with biscuit porcelain.
Tosca, wearing a long draped toga dress made of pearlescent duchess satin and embroidered with golden olive branches.
Tragic, Maria embodies Medea in a blood-red waffled crepe hooded dress covered with a burning bush made of golden leather.
Finally, the role of roles.
Norma.
She is enveloped in an immense acanthus leaf and veiled with white muslin.
In the end, of all these embodied women, only one name will remain... Callas.
