Gaspard Yurkievich
Description: think 80's glam with a french twist as the young designer with a bizarre surname recently opened his very own boutique in the heart of the 3rd arrondissement. about as far as conservative dresing as you'll get, think complicated details and attachments half the time [a tie here, a button there, another fastening over there] but once the clothes are on, 90 per cent of the time they look incredible.
A native of Paris, (born May 16, 1972), Gaspard Yurkievich studied at the Studio Bercot from 1991-93; wherein after graduation, he trained under Jean Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler and Jean Collona.
To hone his skills, the Paris native entered several competitions, one of them the 12th International Festival of Art and Fashion at the Hyeres (May 1997), wherein he won for the womenís collection as well as the 3 Suisse Prize. The next year (1998), Yurkievich won the ANDAM competition.
To expand his horizons in the inner workings of the fashion industry, Gaspard Yurkievich tried his hand in public relations for two years (1996-1997), organizing and preparing fashion shows, training under Isabelle Roque.
In 1998, during the Fall/Winter 1999 season, his solo collection, ìDistressedî debuted on the Paris runways. In 1999, he created special collections for La Redoubte and Prisunic/Monoprix.
Gaspard Yurkievichís creations are young, youthful and energetic. He is also not scared to take chances. His Spring 2004 menswear presentation hit the headlines because it featured several young men miming every sexual position that a group of lusty men can twist themselves into. Of course, all the models were fully clothed. But the sexual connotations were not lost on the audience.
