Victor Weinsanto got hitched over the summer — to model agent Jan-Robert Allo — at Jacques Garcia’s Château du Champ-de-Bataille, which got him thinking about 18th-century figures like Madame de Pompadour and Madame du Barry.

“They weren’t necessarily predestined to have so much power, but through their personality, their charm, their contribution to fashion, they were able to become icons,” the designer said backstage. “I wanted to give a little nod to all these women who have, I think, in a certain way marked feminism.”

He paid homage with pin curls, lots of pink blush, rich fabrics, lavish embroideries and gobsmacking high jewelry melding 24-karat gold lace and diamonds, the fruit of a collaboration with jeweler Maxence Van Der Bauwede, founded in Bruges in 1890 and now based in Geneva.

And while there were the usual Weinsanto shenanigans — camp modeling, trans performer Allanah Starr zinging guests with one-liners as she stalked the runway, and corset-laced dresses sometimes as skimpy as a string bag — the whole show felt like a step up for the young French designer, who famously worked with Jean Paul Gaultier on his “Fashion Freak Show” revue.

He did not let up on showstoppers, like his microscopic LBD sprouting a giant canopy of black lace; a wooden minidress realized with an 18th-century marquetry technique, modeled with aplomb by Coco Rocha, or subliminally cheeky styles like black jeans with corset lacing left open to tease some butt cleavage.

But interspersed were great-fitting pants and handsome jackets flecked with floral embroideries; inventive swing coats with transparent inlays, and clever white shirts with sleeves that can snap off, leaving a halter-neck style, a silhouette which recurred frequently throughout this fun and sassy show.

Meanwhile, the jewelry heightened the Rococo spirit of the collection, while also adding a modern touch, since the gold lace and diamonds were often framed in gleaming geometric structures.

Weinsanto said it was a dream of a lifetime to be able to design jewelry, even if he wears little of it himself.

“Just my wedding ring,” he said with a smile.
