Paris Haute Couture FW 2018-19, Julien Fournié

A complete, refined and sensual collection that the couturier Julien Fournié has launched in Paris, showing to the public, press and buyers how he imagines autumn / winter 2018-19. Surely in the name of a complex woman, whose soul has so many double funds and secret compartments to be discovered to fall in love more and more. And this is the designer's invitation, that of never stopping at the image of the woman as much as finding out why she chose at that moment to give that image of herself and that mood. Because a woman speaks also without a voice and very often does so relegating clothes to this task of being the spokesmen of his emotional feelings. Julien Fournié is a refined psychologist in this creative process that allows the woman to be able to express, from diamond as she is, all her infinite facets. From the dark lady to the femme fatale, from the bon bon bon chic lady to the sporty chic that loves strong emotions. All thanks to bright colors, silhouette with a masterly tailoring cut that delicately caress the feminine shapes and animal prints and tartan for wild or brit fascinations. Impeccable its outerwear with enveloping coats with original and sophisticated shapes, while the capes, light and impalpable, have the profile of a trench coat but descend majestically along the body wrapped in bright evening dresses.

Lengths: all, mini, midi, long
Amplitude: gently soft design a sensually feminine silhouette
