Ion Fiz Severine collection was presented in Madrid Fashion Week Fall 2016. Ion Fiz is inspired by “Severine” star of the film “Belle de jour”. Belle de Jour is a 1967 French drama film directed by Luis Buñuel and starring Catherine Deneuve, Jean Sorel, and Michel Piccoli. Based on the 1928 novel Belle de jour by Joseph Kessel, the film is about a young woman who spends her midweek afternoons as a prostitute while her husband is at work. Belle de Jour may also be a reference to the French name of the daylily, meaning beauty of the day, a flower that blossoms during the day.
Beauty, personality and character of Catherine Deneuve with style “Chic gentrified with a certain defiance” that “Severine” looks in the film are the “leitmotiv” of the collection. In Ion Fiz Severine collection you can notice the female silhouettes, overlapping pieces and mixing casual-couture garments.
ION FIZ founded his own fashion house in 2002 at the age of 24; since then he has received important awards such as the “L’Oréal Paris” Cibeles award, the Marie Claire “Prix de la Mode” award, “Fad” award and the Golden Thimble award for Best Designer.
The three-dimensional patterns of the Ion Fiz Severine collection as well as the set for the staging of the parade were created by the artist Cristina Iturrioz.
The fabrics in the designs are silk, crepe, wool, cashmere, boucle, silk and muslin point. Cream, terracotta, ocher, green, pink, red and black are the colours he chose for his palette. Evening dresses become smooth and bright being the main colors cream and gold tones; creations inspired by the seven wishes Lindt “Sweet Wishes” chocolates.
