During the recent haute couture fashion shows, three renowned designers—Alexandre Vauthier, Julie de Libran, and Zuhair Murad—presented their unique and captivating interpretations of female empowerment. Each designer, in their own way, stayed true to their individual brand identities while celebrating strong and confident women.
Alexandre Vauthier’s collection took center stage at his usual venue on Boulevard Lefebvre in Paris. Against a backdrop of industrial-style brick, Vauthier showcased a glamorous and provocative collection that pushed the boundaries of fashion. The garments featured exaggerated shoulder pads, mini-skirts, and statement boots, all exuding a sense of boldness and confidence. The show began with a striking black hooded dress paired with a faux-fur coat, instantly setting the tone for the rest of the collection. Vibrant colors and disco accents were prevalent throughout, with sequins, rhinestones, and asymmetrical designs adding drama and flair to the garments. The collection culminated in the use of fluorescent orange accents, injecting a bold and energetic touch to the luxurious designs.
Julie de Libran, on the other hand, took a different and more sophisticated approach. Creating a chic and elegant atmosphere for her presentation, de Libran meticulously decorated the venue with an abundance of plants, setting a warm and inviting ambiance. Acknowledging her muses and inspirations, de Libran invited a community of talented and creative women to wear her collection on the day of its presentation, thus celebrating the power and strength of women. The garments were showcased alongside stylish Manolo Blahnik heels, with glitters and flowing draped dresses catching the eye. Notable highlights from the collection included a fringed mini-skirt, a blue dress with medieval influences, a short black velvet dress adorned with jewels, and a floral embroidered midi dress. De Libran expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to work with the industry’s best, combining expert craftsmanship with her personal touch. She also hinted at the possibility of reverting back to the classic fashion show format for future collections.
Zuhair Murad’s collection radiated youthfulness and casual elegance while staying true to his signature sensuality. Influencers from all over the globe gathered at the prestigious Hotel Potocki to witness Murad’s latest haute couture creations. Inspired by the magnificent 1920s and the allure of the French Riviera, the collection showcased luxurious beach looks that commanded attention. Sequinned swim caps, knotted head scarves, asymmetrical metallic dresses, and ostentatious feather boas added a touch of glamorous sophistication to the collection. Lime green shorts, pleated mini-skirts, and form-fitting dresses with side slits presented a vibrant and playful array of designs. The color palette emulated a breathtaking sunset, with hues of orange, fuchsia, and yellow creating visually stunning pieces. The show concluded with a modern bride adorned in a transparent embroidered dress, accompanied by an oversized cape and a delicate translucent veil. Murad’s dedicated following of influencers erupted in a wave of enthusiastic applause, eagerly capturing their favorite looks on camera.
In conclusion, these three designers wholeheartedly celebrated and empowered women through their respective haute couture collections.
