The designer describes this as “a hyper-gathered minidress that references Vionnet and Madame Grés in its drape. It’s zero-waste and fully elasticated to fit between a size 36 and 48, worn with the bag boots.”Alectra Rothschild, fall 2023 ready-to-wearAnd she wants to invite everyone to her party. “My collections are so full of gender but in a lot of different ways. It’s for anybody who subscribes to high glamour but a decadent glamour in a rotten way.
The Babe is “about body modification from a trans POV: cinched waist, cleavage-maker bra, long legs. It also references Angelyne the billboard queen.”“A structured corset minidress that references Cristóbal Balenciaga. The semifitted jacket is structured in the front and a cape in the back.”Celebrity culture is one of the designer’s fascinations that gives way at times to high camp but not just in terms of aesthetics. Rothschild believes in the transformative power of clothing.
