Gardens of pleasure. The least we can say is that Yazbukey’s new collection did not steal his name. Inspired by the ethereal flights of the album ” Tropical Fantasy ” by Michel Magne, the designer’s delight gardens form an initiatory journey between Eden, Mont Olympe, and the fantasized imagery of Pierre & Gilles. Because there are many gardens.
Besides the pieces of the collection divided into five parts expressing all the desirability of the woman (aphrodisiac, sensual, explosive, erotic and wild), the performance that supported the presentation was transformed into a theatrical and documented ode to ancient pleasures. Venus, Aphrodite, Adam & Eve, Cupidon or even the Cicciolina (anachronism)… the mythological characters met in a series of sweet paintings surrounded by jungle which notably staged François Sagat and Anna Cleveland. Sensual, then. And sexual.
