Bai Lu in Two Looks from the First Misfits Collection
Chinese actress and style icon Bai Lu graces the pages of Madame Figaro China’s May 2026 issue in two extraordinary looks from the Julien Fournié Spring 2026 Haute Couture collection.
For her first look, Bai Lu embodies raw poetry and couture rebellion in the Outrage Corset — a masterpiece of contrasts draped with mysterious knots in Emerald and Bishop silk satin cuir, shielded by a black ghost tulle embroidered with iconic “Banlieue Couture” tags and graffiti rendered in black crystal. Pierced with delicate Chinoiserie details, the look is amplified by a giant petticoat of cascading black ruffles and a sweeping grand skirt alive with embroidered fireworks motifs, electrocardiogram lines and “Banlieue Couture” inscriptions — a breathtaking collision of Parisian street culture and haute couture precision.
Her second look, Shadows Chandelier, casts an altogether different spell. A mini dress sculpted in gold technical satin, embroidered with the ghostly silhouette of a broken chandelier, floats beneath a smoky, ethereal overlay of black silk tulle delicately inlaid with embroidered constellations and nebulae — as though the universe itself had been woven into the fabric.Together, these two looks encapsulate the singular vision of Julien Fournié: where the streets meet the stars, and couture becomes a living, breathing work of art.

More than a fashion brand, Maison Julien Fournié is a luxury experience that transcends trends and seasons. Driven by a commitment to excellence and innovation, Julien Fournié continuously redefines the world of ultra-luxury.
Founded in 2009, the house’s history is woven into its haute couture collections, presented in Paris every January and July during Haute Couture Week. For his debut collection, the young couturier was awarded the Grand Prize for Creativity by the City of Paris in January 2010. By his fourth collection in January 2011, Julien Fournié became a guest member of the official calendar of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture — a first step towards recognition among the great couturiers.
In January 2017, Maison Julien Fournié was officially classified as Haute Couture. This prestigious label, protected by the French Ministry of Industry, is held by only a handful of houses — currently ten — that unite the highest creativity in design with the finest standards of garment making.
Since its inception, the house has been invited to present its collections at prestigious events worldwide, bringing the couturier’s vision to luxury clients across the globe. In March 2023, a Julien Fournié gown worn by actress Audrey Fleurot entered the Musée Grévin in Paris. In April 2023, the first retrospective of Julien Fournié’s work was held at SCAD Lacoste, in an exhibition entitled Haute Couture, un point c’est tout.
While honouring tradition, Julien Fournié has forged bold partnerships with high-tech leaders such as Apple and Tencent, digitising the creation, design and personalisation of his haute couture pieces. He stands among the rare couturiers to fully master the new digital tools. Clients are no longer mere spectators of the creative process — they have become active participants in the singular experience of creating a garment, wherever they may be.
Since December 2020, Julien Fournié has been developing a line of luxury bags and accessories, initially conceived to offer the iconic pieces seen on the runway — previously reserved for haute couture clients — to a wider audience.
