If you keep on watching fashion shows for three days, theoretically you can hardly take them in after a while, however with each occasion as the lights fade above the runway and as the first beats of the music can be heard and as you see the first model of the collection in the lights which have turned on again, you know and feel that you are in a good place.
The closing show of the Marie Claire Fashion Days, lasting for three days, was Bori Tóth's brand, the Maison Marquise's spring-summer collection 2017. The pieces already successfully shown in Paris could be viewed for the first time at home by the spectators and by those concerned. We were sitting with great expectations after seeing the few amazing campaign photos shared on the Facebook profile of the brand. Even though we were waiting for the enthrallingly glamorous Gréta Csizmadia, who was the model of the campaign photos, in vain, the pieces and the spectacle compensated for everything.
The collection consisting of more than 30 pieces built up in such a way starting with the bright oringish/coralish, philodendron leaf-patterned maxi dress and continuing with the snow-white, long, a bit mischievously, but still solidely slit full dress in the front, that it simultaneously evoked all the diversity of the spring and summer, regarding colours and atmosphere. Loose-fitting coatdresses, that has to be tied, tone-in-tone compositions, blazer dresses, maxi dresses, loose skirted midi dresses, uniquely tailored miniskirts, and trousers compositions charmed with fine screws appeared as well in the collection.
“The trends from next spring and summer are characterized by ethereal lightness, by the use of coral and subtle pinks and by the emphasis of tones close to each other. The season is defined by soft kimono-cutting, by gauzy, ehtereal layers and fabrics: organza, soft summerish brocades, openwork structures.” - said the designer
Bori Tóth.
We can definitely discover the inspiration of the far-eastern culture in the cutting lines, the forms and the colours of the presented collection. The sea, the beach, the fish, the corals, the world of the water lilies blend with each other on the digitally printed silk fabrics. The main pieces of the collection are characterized by vivid, intensive colours, subtle motifs swimming away and they consist of tenderly falling, floating dresses. The leaf-motif of the philadendron was vigorously used in various colours and on dresses, coats and tops of different styles.
Bori Tóth is one of the designers who has succeeded in remaining in the front as the master of her profession for more than ten years, she has proved her high standard with her continuosly renewing creative talent, which she owes her national and international success for, in the best-deserved way.
Her spontaneous speech given after the show did not surprise only us, the spectators, but her partner Anita Szűcs too, who was invited on the runway,
Réka Vágó, who ensured the shoes for the show, and Krisztina László, the editor in chief of
Marie Claire. The designer's professionalism, human and professional humbleness is proved by the fact how she shared the stage lights immediately after the show with the other three exceptional ladies, expressing her thanks for their work and support, sharing the success with them as well.
Boosting the trust in the brand with this, through this gesture she pinpointed the workload behind the surface of the shiny fashion world, the professional humbleness and the common strength of the talents helping and supporting each other.
