The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2020 - Issue 27

Kaviar Gau bite fashion F rom launching in 2004 with a guerrilla fashion show in front of the Paris department store Colette to becoming one of the most successful and internationally renowned young German fashion labels, Kaviar Gauche has provided a host of must-have bags, feminine prêt-à-porter collections, and modern Bridal Couture. The brand was established by de- signers Alexandra Roehler and Joanna Kühl after they gradu- ated from Esmod Berlin, the International University of Art for Fashion. With an understated elegance, graceful design and contrasting elements, Kaviar Gauche represent ‘modern glamour made in Germany’. Thanks to a remarkable hype surrounding the fashion label, they have attracted high-profile celebrities such as actress Heike Makatsch, singer Florence Welch and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Inspired by the red-carpet looks of prêt-à-porter collections, the brand has created new bridal collections under Kaviar Gauche Bridal Couture every year since 2009. The brand also introduced its first namesake fragrance, ex- panding its range by an ethereal dimension. The eau de par- fum is an aromatic translation of the fashionable character and takes up appropriate sources of inspiration, such as the French lightness and the sensual beauty of nature. The result is a floral fresh perfume with a heart note forming the bewitch- ing scent of peony, while spicy woods and pink pepper set the striking counterpoint. For Spring/Summer 2020, Kaviar Gauche celebrates its crystal wedding theme with the Crystal Collection which marks the tenth anniversary of the bridal line and also the 15th anniver- sary of the brand. The fashion show was attended by the crème de la crème of the international social media scene including models Caro Daur, Elena Carriere, and Shermine Shahrivar; former model and now blogger Viktoria Rader; actress Nina Süss; and artist Oda Jaune. The 24 looks in the collection were unlike anything you would expect in a bridal presentation. It was fresh, elegant, chic, and oh-so French, and designed to take their customers on a jour- ney through time. As well as these fabulous designs, Kaviar Gauche also presented a diverse range of evening gowns, party dresses, and two-piece suits in homage to their revolutionary beginnings over 15 years ago as a German luxury label for contemporary ready-to-wear. Inspired by festivals and celebrations from the great decades of glamour, the brand’s typical style is reflected in the mod- ern look with a new interpretation. You cannot deny that French elegance meets the spirit of the avant-garde and skil- fully breaks with the feeling of luxury and rebellion against the rules of classical dressing. For example, the Arielle Volant Dress with a beautiful A-line shape and charming fabric mix were worn with a Bouton Blazer with long sleeves and an el- egant cut. The Glitter Cache Coeur Dress is a modern wedding dress with a beautiful and elegant silhouette and is charming with its glitter fabric, while the Rosebud Bustier Dress has a won- derful A-line silhouette and charming voluminous skirt. The dress fits perfectly for an extravagant and unique wedding. Uniquely different is the White Crystal Sleeve Dress which charms with its avant-garde silhouette and glitter fabric. This style is perfect for a winter wedding or a festive event. While floral metallic embroidery adds sparkle to the modern woman, the addition of silver glitter and pure silver provides the main colourways for accessories and hues of ivory, cham- pagne, and cream dominate the colour palette of the collec- tion. Another classic from Kaviar Gauche is the upgraded metallic silver belt worn as a belt bag at the waist and with extra-long fringing. Silk organza, viscose, silk stretch, and crystal fabrics also set the tone and are partly refined with ad- ditional crystal elements. You’ll notice that some of the styles have an oversized silhou- ette such as the bridal suit in elegant ivory with extra-wide flared pants that exude a ‘70s vibe, giving the style a cool edgy look. Or the floor-length blazer dress rounded off with plissé puff sleeves, symbolising the essence of the collection: clean- cut ready-to-marry looks with extravagant detailing that become real dream dresses for special occasions. As well as draped details such as organza flounces, fringes, puffy sleeves, and sparkling details. The SS20 Crystal Collection is available now in all of their three flagship stores in Berlin, Munich, and Dusseldorf as well as a selection online. www.kaviargauche.com/en/crystal-collection
