http://www.FTV.com/videos PARIS - Stephane Rolland's Paris Haute Couture Week Spring/Summer 2012 runway show was inspired by the art of Michel Deverne, a French artist born in 1927 who created art and architecture out of aluminum, concrete and other materials and also guided several sculptures. Rolland used this idea of architectural design and sculptural for her collection using fabrics like chiffon, organza, and even ostrich feathers to bridge the line between architecture and elegance. Those fabrics appeared soft while pencil skirts and waists cinched with gold circular belts were more structured. Color combinations that typically clashed suddenly looked like they belonged together and unique tulip shapes in the waist and box shapes in the sleeves provided something architectural and different. The beauty of it was that when models moved, a 3D effect was created in the clothes.

By the way, Yasmin Le Bon ended the spectactular Rolland runway wearing a 110 pound silk jersey red dress with metal plates and a 147.5 foot train. She had to have two men walk with her to hold it up.

Appearances: Isabella Melo, Alana Zimmer, Stephane Rolland, Yasmin Le Bon

The 110lb dress is ridiculous. It's extremly ugly and the model can barely move in it. Furthermore, it makes her look fat.

[Pj Lewis]

In my 40+ years of following fashion, this is the most fabulously wonderful thing I've ever seen. Bravo! Brilliant! PJ Lewis

[Stephanie Felix]

Absolutely loved the last two black dresses, superb design and fit.

[spicypillow]

She's 5'9" and a size 8. The average woman is 5'4", 164.7 pounds and a size 14. Even if she weighed 5 pounds more than the average (overweight) woman (doubtful based on the fact that she's nearly half a foot taller AND 6 sizes smaller), she'd still be at a healthy body weight. So, no, she's not fat.

[motchka]

Oh well, haute couture isn't about wearability; as an artist I know all about the inpracticality of art. For impracticality take Franke Sorbier; absolutely unwearable but fascinating. I don't know if I love his work or hate it, but it's certainly unforgettable

[Anthony Black]

The gown at 1:12-1:16 is absolutely hideous. She looks like she has an iPhone strapped to her navel.

[lola run]

yeah agreed, the dress is crazily heavy and unwearable, only some crazy bastards would interested in buying that/it's only for publicity so they can get their brand name to at least 1 magazine

[Francisco Casals]

I don't think it make her look fat, it's just that it's a very impractical dress the model was about to fall a couple of times. This dress was done only for the show, nobody it's going to buy that not even haute couture clients.

[motchka]

I normally wouldn't comment on fashion, (especially the size of the model), but , 2X or thin, that's one of the most badly designed dresses I've ever seen. Then again, each to their own taste.

[dbess132]

0:36 her walk is fierce.

[lola run]

actually she is plus size model, the reason why the designer chooses her over usual thin model is because the weight of the dress is heavier than average thin model so obviously they couldn't carry those dress

[lola run]

can you believe the majority of this model is under the age of 18?
