Sexy gingham?
Altuzarra put gingham center stage at his collection, which explored feminity, sensuality, romanticism and freedom.
"Inspiration came to me when I saw the film Rosemary's Baby," he told AFP. He described the Oscar-winning horror flick as "very pretty but also very sinister."
"And I also saw the film 'Barry Lyndon'. It had a very romantic side but was also quite sad. And it is this feminity which interests me."
"Gingham is a little Rosemary for me. This was a bit of a child-like woman and I am interested in retransposing and retransforming gingham to make something which becomes quite sexual."
The gingham in his collection is picked out in cotton, crepe de chine, viscose, pink, black and blue. The cut was elegant and structured, straight skirts with splits, dresses decorated at the neck and fine pearl embroidery.
He showed light-weight tailored gingham suiting and body skimming dresses in soft pastels, seams sliced open and tied together with ribbon to reveal skin.
Moroccan textiles playfully re-worked into pencil skirts, sharp coats were trimmed with leather and there were romantic and delicate pearl-embroidered tulle slip dresses.
Since launching his label in New York in 2008 he has gone from strength to strength. He announced Thursday that he was designing a collection for American discount retail outlet Target, due in store on September 14.
Later on Sunday is DKNY, Diane von Furstenberg, Opening Ceremony, Vivienne Tam and Anthony Vaccarello for Versus Versace.
