Sixty years after the late André Courrèges’ space-age creations took the world by storm, Belgian designer Nicolas Di Felice is reintroducing the house to a new generation of shoppers, recontextualising its codes in a way that feels true to now. A protege of Cristóbal Balenciaga with a background in engineering, Courrèges designed clothes that liberated the female body: creating silhouette-skimming mini-dresses and the decade-defining go-go boots. Today, fresh from working with Nicolas Ghesquière, Di Felice is reinvigorating futurism a la Courrèges through high-shine fabrics in boxy cuts and A-line dresses with provocative cut-outs.
