# Bosideng: the puffer blooms in Paris

**Bosideng celebrates its fiftieth anniversary with ‘The Bloom’, its first show on the official Paris Fashion Week calendar: a proposition that takes the puffer jacket out of the winter wardrobe and turns it into a fashion piece, from the mountains to the evening.**

Can a garment designed for the cold become an evening gown? Can the puffer – that staple we retrieve from the back of the wardrobe every winter – aspire to more than simply keeping us warm?

**Bosideng** gave its answer last October at the *Hôtel Pozzo di Borgo* on the Left Bank of Paris, once **Karl Lagerfeld’**s Parisian residence. There it presented ‘The Bloom’, the show with which the Chinese label celebrates half a century.

The occasion had something of a consecration about it. Founded in 1976 and specialising in down garments, **Bosideng** had already presented in New York, Milan and London, and a year earlier had shown its Master Puff collection in Paris, albeit off the official calendar. This time, with **Pietro Ferragina** as creative director, the brand joins the official Paris Fashion Week calendar for the first time with a very clear idea: to take the puffer from winter basic to fashion piece.

**Gao Dekang**, founder, chairman and CEO of the Bosideng Group, presented the show as a reflection of five decades of expertise and as a boost to cultural and fashion exchange between China and France. Guests included supermodel **Coco Rocha** and actresses **Mao Xiaotong**, **Michelle Chen** and **Ouyang Didi**, alongside actor **Chen Tianxiang**.

To bring the puffer to the runway, the collection is structured around four lines – Extreme Cold, Outdoor, Business and Puff – that span a wide register: from sculptural evening silhouettes to technical outdoor pieces, by way of refined urban looks. One material, many possible lives.

The aesthetic references build bridges between East and West. **[Art Deco](https://neomaniamagazine.com/es/art-deco-elegancia-y-glamour/)** geometry converses with natural landscapes, while Chinese craftsmanship brings its own language: the pattern-cutting draws on the Haipai-style qipao characteristic of Shanghai, and the collection revives traditional Song brocade.

Beneath the surface lies the technique. **Bosideng** transfers mountain technologies, such as hardshell systems and dynamic moisture management, to fashion silhouettes.

The climax came at the very end. A series of down evening gowns in pink closed the show with a softer, more unexpected reading of the material. The puffer, at last, in full evening dress.

‘The Bloom’ is not merely the name of a show: it is a statement of intent. For its second half-century, **[Bosideng](https://www.bosidengfashion.com/?utm_source=neomaniamagazine.com)** has set itself a goal – to give the puffer a permanent place in international fashion. Judging by what was seen in Paris, it has already begun to bloom.
