Paris Haute Couture is set to welcome two new members to its prestigious calendar this season with the addition of Aelis and RR331. The Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, a revered authority on couture in France, extended invitations to the two couture houses during a meeting on April 23. These brands will make their debut at the upcoming event, showcasing their autumn/winter 2019/2020 collections on Sunday, June 30, kicking off a week-long celebration of luxury and artistry.
In addition to the newcomers, the established roster of couture brands invited to participate in the upcoming season includes Aganovich, Antonio Grimaldi, Azzaro Couture, Georges Hobeika, Christophe Josse, Guo Pei, Iris Van Herpen, Ralph & Russo, RVDK/Ronald Van Der Kemp, Xuan, Yuima Nakazato, and Zuhair Murad. These designers represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship and creativity in the world of haute couture.
For designer Ralph Rucci of RR331, returning to Paris after 17 years marks a significant milestone in his career. Five years ago, Rucci embarked on a new journey by establishing RR331, a brand that embraces a re-imagined aesthetic featuring more day dresses alongside his signature elegance and sophistication.
On the other hand, the invitation to Paris Haute Couture is a dream come true for Aelis’ designer Sofia Crociani. Having spent years showcasing her sustainable and poetic creations on the sidelines of Paris couture week, Crociani’s talent and dedication to craftsmanship have finally been recognized by the industry. With experience working with fashion icons like Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano, Crociani brings a wealth of expertise to her label, which is known for its emphasis on eco-friendly fabrics and natural materials.
This season’s Paris Haute Couture promises to be a celebration of innovation and creativity, as both established and emerging designers come together to showcase the best of luxury fashion.
