cotonblanc:

If fashion were a kingdom, Gaspard Yurkievich would be the Prince of Dressmaking, that approach to fashion design which characterises one of the two main types of haute couture technique. This half-French, half-Argentinean designer has applied the principles of dressmaking to a ready-to-wear range which he describes as “midrange-upmarket”. Behind the jargon lies a contemporary interpretation of ultra-feminine items of clothes–the little dinner dress, skirt or blouse–using flowing materials which seem to be hardly worked on at all. All is suggested in designs whose decoration is derived from the structure of the dress. Functional parts such as the sleeves and hems take on a decorative role in movement. A reinterpretation of the kimono armhole has become the signature of his collections, with dresses and tunics sprouting immense open sleeves detached from the garment. Strips of satin spill from the neckline to catch the edge of the hem, while embroidered pieces hang loose from the neck and fall over the unfinished back. Sheath dresses for evening wear in see-through chiffon and tone-on-tone metallic embroidery evoke the outline of a nude, dripping-wet body reminiscent of Yves Klein Anthropometries. Although some of the materials may be luxurious, Yurkievich’s also uses simple fabrics like cotton jersey and Lycra, which make his creations both affordable and adaptable to all kinds of wear.

Highly pragmatic in his awareness of the workings of the fashion business, Gaspard Yurkievich refuses to be relegated to the young design ghetto. On the contrary, he seeks out experiences that keep him in touch with the realities of the market, without compromising his creativity.

In addition to studies at the Studio Berçot in 1993, he worked as an intern for Thierry Mugler in 1992 and Jean Paul Gaultier in 1993 before going to work for Jean Colonna in 1994. He has also compiled trend books for the Spanish Fashion Institute. At the 1997 Hyères Festival International des Arts de la Mode, he won the award for best women’s collection, a triumph which made his name in the press. As a result, the 3 Suisses mail order company asked him to contribute a mini collection to their catalogue. In March 1998, Gaspard Yurkievich presented his first fashion show in Paris, an event which also marked the beginning of a collaboration with the photographer Betinna Komenda centring on the image of his label. That same year he won the design fellowship financed by the Monoprix & Prisunic Group as part of the ANDAM Competition. Impressed with his style, the French retail group asked him to create a collection for winter 1999–2000.
