Boramy Viguier Pre-Fall 2021
…



You could say that Boramy Viguier is a goblet half full kind of guy. The Parisian designer might use a Tarot symbol of a medieval drinking vessel as his de facto logo, but he also has a ceaseless optimism when dealing with all and any challenges. Such as: Ever since the confinement in Paris this past spring, Viguier has been creating with whatever fabrics he already had to hand in his studio, printing and embroidering some to create special unique pieces, riffing on that monastic/mystical vibe he draws on so much. It’s his very own version of alchemy, inventively transforming the unused and the neglected through the power of his playful let’s-just-try-it-and-see approach.
Most recently, Viguier turned out his first pre-fall, dubbed Lord Sky Dungeon, at breakneck speed. The accompanying trippy supernatural video he filmed just aired as part of GucciFest, Alessandro Michele’s generous turning of the brand’s global spotlight onto emerging talents who deserve the attention. Gucci asked him to take part a couple of months back, and, says Viguier, it took him, “five days to create the collection, four days to film it, and one morning I was asked for the title [of the video] at 10AM and had come up with the name by noon.”
The video is a glorious mash-up of everything that Viguier loves cinematically; James Bond title sequences, sword-wielding sorcery epics; cultish horror; et al. (The terrific soundtrack, by the way, is by one of his favorite bands, the LA-based Dengue Fever.) Yet the video represents more than cinematic excursion to him; it was also a distinct influence on his creative process for pre-fall. “Every movie I have loved I’ve always loved the costumes as much,” he says, “whether it’s by Scorcese or Lord of the Rings. With this collection, I started with the idea of the film first, then designed from there. I’m really interested in continuing to work that way. It brings…a sense of purpose.”
That’s evident in the collection’s 21 looks, which distill all of the fable and fantasy that constantly inspires him into some super wearable and super desirable pieces. The look rests for the most part on black crew neck sweatshirts, cleric tunic in style, and cut from heavy cotton. (He calls them “the holy shirts.”) These are layered over white collared surplice-like shirting and wide pants. In some ways, it’s the perfect distillation of exactly the kind of approachable/comfortable look we all might have been working this past year.
Yet thanks to Viguier’s own twists, that distinctly ecclesiastical vibe of his, he resolutely makes it his own. There are still a few of those hand-crafted one-offs, notably a drawstring-waisted black coat embellished with those goblets. But Viguier’s pre-fall affords the opportunity to see him strip back his work, taking his signature down to its barest essence. Doing so reveals that Viguier has a whole lot more to say about clothes than his compelling way with myth and fantasy.

Cardi B’s $60K Birkin Bag Gets The ‘Mommy Treatment’ As Daughter Unleashes Her Creativity

In a moment of relatable frustration, Cardi B took to Instagram to share a funny yet surprising story about her expensive $60,000 Birkin bag, one of her favorite items from her luxury collection. Known for her bold personality and honest social media posts, Cardi revealed that one of her daughters had turned the fancy purse into a makeshift canvas, drawing a heart on it without permission. “Look what my daughter did to my purse,” Cardi said dramatically in her Instagram Story, showing off the iconic bag to her followers. “I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” she exclaimed, still amazed by the unexpected ‘artwork’ from her little girl.
Although she was frustrated, the mom of three tried to take it all in stride, at least for the moment. Cardi values her hard-earned luxury items, especially her growing collection of high end bags. However, as any parent knows, kids have a skill for creating chaos even in the most cherished parts of life. For Cardi, that chaos includes her high-priced accessories. The post quickly gained attention online, with fans sympathizing with Cardi’s situation. Many found humor in the irony of the event, while others offered support, pointing out that such moments are just part of the unpredictable journey of parenthood. Cardi has previously emphasized that family is her top priority, even if it means dealing with some messiness.

But Cardi’s frustration didn’t stop there. She later took to Twitter to respond to comments made by Kanye West regarding her staying power in the spotlight. While she didn’t mention him directly, her tweet, “7 years 1 album… STILL being a topic and STILL being asked about my music!!!” sent a clear message. She confidently asserted her spot in the entertainment world, clarifying that her fans, known as “The Brim,” are not going anywhere. In the end, whether it’s a damaged Birkin bag or dealing with critics, Cardi B repeatedly shows that she remains unfazed by the ups and downs of fame, always staying true to herself and her family.
