JULIEN FOURNIÉ PARIS 2016

JULIEN FOURNIÉ CANALJulien Fournié had converted the Oratoire du Louvre into a vessel to present us the Spring-Summer 2016 collection.

On a fictional shore the couturier presented an elegant collection with print on white linen representing tropical flowers. Fournié has chosen the palette of oceanic rainforest fruits and blossoms as colors for this collection.

On the catwalk the models looked like those actress of the 1960’s and 1970’s with lioned head like Farrah Fawcett in the Charlie’s Angels. They were wearing denim pieces on their tropical island.

Jacquards and 3D embroidery also made this fashion statement contemporary. As usual it was a stunning and standing ovation.

Anonymode.

Maybe the difference between having it or not is just about non-existent. The two things coincide and must coexist.

The story of people who are called Talents, is a tough one. Resisting everyday to a different complication is part of their routine. They ask themselves all the time if it’s worth it; but at the end of the day they just can’t do without it. They don’t care about the money or the time they take away from the people they love. They just do it. It’s a matter of blind devotion.  Continue reading

The choice of a collection of a private garden made by the designer Paglialunga, which is not a gardener, but in his poetic approach of the brand, you feel the happiness to live in the nature. After all, this is not the world of Continue reading
