One of the most spectacular Haute Couture shows came from Julien Fournie, who sought to recreate the atmosphere of fashion’s heyday, packing out a Paris theatre for a tribute to vamps and femmes fatales.
Cocked bowler hats and beige trench coats recalled film noir classics and cabaret, alongside dizzying stiletto heels that tested the balance of the models as they put on much more of a show than the usual up-and-back catwalk strut.
Model Michaela Tomanova, seven months pregnant, stood out in a black gala dress made from a harness, while Fournie paid tribute to landmark styles over the past century, from suits to pencil skirts and big shoulders, all with modern twists.
“With this collection I wanted to return the joy, fantasy and lightness that we miss so much today,” said Fournie, who joined the models on stage for an ecstatic finale in their arms.
