Fashion Week 2015; Gail Chovan @ Austin Texas....Gothic Phase



By

Sampson I.M Onwuka

A different kind of fashion for people who toe their interest. Someone once described life as purposeless existence, between the conception and oblivion is what we make of it. This style represent a different and perhaps dark version of fashion. Beginning with the initial pictures, the designer Gail Chovan gives us an impression of the life after a breast cancer, a theme that has a following in Fashion and in social circles. The definitions of fashion is how best we can dress and how to look for a certain occasion and otherwise.

If there are things that define our way of life, it is how we dress for a particular occasion that is important and the designers use that opportunity to express their new trends or leading clothing styles and materials, especially in specific situations.


No doubt there are other pleasures what have time, but in this weird time, the most complicated things - perhaps elsewhere - is theme of everyday joke. There are several phases in the life of any human and some approach to these periods are represented in the style of dressing. The Metal phase - the earthly and when we seek to identify with nature and out environment.

From a description marking the events marking his appearance at the Austin Fashion week 2015, the following rank as a better description of her persons and image and interest above all. 

"Gail Chovan is an apparel designer living in Austin, Texas. She received her Masters in French Literature in Paris where she then switched her focus to clothing construction. Gail attended ESMOD & Duperré and launched her first apparel collection in 1988. Eventually, Gail moved back to the states and began producing one-of-a-kind, limited edition pieces. Since 2010, she has released five seasonal collections under her own name. In 2014, Gail decided to eschew the constraints and implications of season-specific designs in favor of pieces she approaches as unique and artful constructions. They maintain their permanence, relevance, and inimitable style throughout the years. Gail returns to Paris every summer to teach Apparel Design at the Sorbonne." 


"Gail Chovan’s creations reflect her appreciation of fine craftsmanship and timelessness. Her atelier is a 100-year-old former grocery store she shares with her husband, artist Evan Voyles. There, crumbling walls and vintage sewing machines surround her as she works. Chovan’s life and creative philosophy are intertwined. She finds value and beauty in imperfection, things handmade, children and good cocktails. Chovan’s designs are most often monochromatic, without the distraction of hue. Texture, form, and line take precedence."
